10 Places To Take A Girls Trip This Summer

Summer vacation season is in full effect and that means if you haven't already started, now is the time to start planning that ultimate summer getaway with your girls. Long before last summer's hit movie, girls' trips were an annual celebration of sisterhood, memories, and turning up to full capacity.

If it's been a hectic six months and you're in desperate need of some rest and relaxation with all the members of your girl squad, we have some destination choices you're sure to love. There's a little something for everyone, including wine tasting, islands, beaches, and nightlife. Since many of us only take one to two vacations a year, it's important to make each experience a worthwhile collection of celebration, fun, and new adventures.

Check out our list of the best summer vacation destinations for you and your girls—and let us know where you plan to go this summer!

This was a no-brainer for a spot on our list! After the huge success of last year's hit film Girls Trip, groups of girlfriends galore were planning their next vacation to NOLA as soon as they left the theater. New Orleans has practically everything you need to have an amazing vacation experience with your girls. There's the NOLA nightlife, the rich cultural history, irresistible food, and knowing you're in one of the last places in the country that truly appreciates the beauty of jazz.

Turks and Caicos

There are many island locales to visit where you're sure to have a great time, however there is something to be said for a place that's a little less popular. This sentiment is exactly why Turks and Caicos should be a strong contender for your next girls' trip experience. The beaches are literally breathtaking, with miles of crystal clear blue waters and gorgeous white sand. The fresh seafood is heavenly and the overall laid-back atmosphere is ideal for plenty of relaxing days and nights.

Napa Valley

We all have those friends in our group who claim to be the ultimate wine connoisseur, so a vacation to the vino-lover's paradise, Napa Valley, is the perfect destination. There is always time for wine, especially while on vacation, so deep-diving into the Napa vineyards is a win-win situation. From wine tours and unlimited tastings to exquisite cuisine and picturesque vineyard views, Napa is where the grown-ups go to get away from it all.

Las Vegas

When the turn-up is real and experiencing lituations is the ultimate goal, there's only one place to go and you already know what it is…Vegas baby! You and your girls are guaranteed to make memories, bad decisions, and have enough secrets between each other to last a lifetime after a Las Vegas vacation. In Vegas, partying is the main goal, so rest up, drink your water, and brace yourself for more fun than you can handle.

Cancun

Hugely popular for spring break and honeymoons, Cancun is also one of the best places for a girlfriend getaway to rival many others. Most people who visit Cancun once likely return and it's obvious why. The sun, sand, culture, and food are enough to keep you pretty satisfied, but it's the nightlife activities where you and your girls will have the best time.

Jamaica

What's better than being surrounded by enough melanin to last a lifetime? Not much, which is why vacationing in Jamaica is an absolute must. Beautiful black people all around, coupled with an unlimited offering of Caribbean food and music, is the setting for a girls' trip that might actually have you staying longer than you anticipated.

Miami

When you want a quick and easily accessible summer beach experience, a girls' vacation to Miami is the way to go. Their weather is practically paradise and you might damage the strip on your debit card courtesy of all the shopping available.

If hard partying full of hangovers is not for you and your girlfriends, this vacation spot offers a nice change of pace—with peace of mind to match.

When the drinks start flowing and the island vibes reach a fever pitch, that's when you know you're in paradise.

 Hawaii

Widely known as the place for lovers, Hawaii is also a beautiful vacation spot for friends to experience together as well. The rich culture is apparent from the moment you land and it continues until you say goodbye. The cuisine is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but it's the overwhelming amount of beauty that surrounds you and your girls that makes it worthy.
