Is there any vacation that’s more exciting to look forward to than a girls trip? No significant others, no kids, just your (chosen) family. But, we know finding the perfect girls trip destination is easier said than done: Do you want the hustle and bustle of New York City? Or is the vibe more to totally unplug (babymoon style) somewhere in sunny Florida? Are your friends wanting to stay put in America for a quick weekend getaway, or are they game for international jaunts to Mexico or the Caribbean?

We’ve helped narrow it down for you, with a comprehensive list of trip ideas that feature some of our favorite spots from around the globe (and hotels we’ve stayed in). Read on for where to go for the best girls trips. Now all you have to do is pick a date (and a carry-on).
