There are four simple things we want to do on a girls trip: stay somewhere lovely, look at cute shops, get a little sun, and brunch ourselves into an early bedtime. It’s these four pillars upon which I’ve created six chilled out itineraries for you to choose from, all set in a few of the best destinations for relaxing girls trips.
Will your squad meet up in Mexico? Or is Big Bear, California more your style?
Scroll down to discover your next girls trip itinerary, completely curated and planned by us. Forward this list to your crew immediately, and start thinking about outfits. #noboysallowed
