Gather Your Girls! Here Are the Best Girlfriend Getaways For 2019

We all have that friend, the movie buff, who chooses her next holiday based on her favourite film locations. She might be in love with a new city this year with the release of Berlin, I Love You, the latest instalment of the Cities of Love franchise starring Dianna Agron, Keira Knightley, and Helen Mirren. Berlin has become synonymous with the alternative, the new, and the creative freedom to take risks. A long weekend in the city exploring the famed coffee houses and nightlife could be just what you and your friends need!

The Gulf of Mexico beach town of Clearwater, FL, is the place to take a girls' trip for the weekend. Clearwater Beach and its icing sugar sand was voted the best beach in the country in 2018 by TripAdvisor. Book a weekend getaway with the girls at Sandpearl Resort and enjoy a private beach, lagoon pool, and even s'mores at the resort's beach-side fire pits. Pamper yourselves at the spa's healthy happy hour that includes a sampling of mini treatments, light appetizers, and refreshing cocktails.

Have you ever wanted to spend one more weekend, as an adult, at sleepaway camp? The newly opened The Wayback Cafe and Cottages has us feeling all the sleepaway camp vibes on its three-acre oak tree dotted property. A piece of land that was the former favourite hangout of Willie Nelson and Janice Joplin has been transformed into an intentionally hidden eight-cottage getaway tucked just eight miles outside Austin off Bee Cave Road. If those trees could talk! The Wayback will be host to upcoming Texas wine dinners, live music, yoga on the lawn, full moon dinners, small holiday markets, movie nights, croquet tournaments, and scavenger hunts — so there will be plenty for you and your team to do!

Maybe you love that feeling of staying up late giggling with your girlfriends because it makes you feel like a kid again. One of our favourite places also evokes those happy childhood memories. Have a girls getaway that your inner-child would envy at Walt Disney World! Amazing rides, delicious food — isn't Epcot so much more fun as as adult? All the international cuisine, and a free pass to act like a kid makes this a true girls' trip.

Only a half an hour away from the park, stay at the award-winning Alfond Inn: from here you guys can walk to Winter Park for world-class shipping and dining. If you want to take it easy one morning, we'd recommend a boat tour on Winter Park's chain of lakes followed by a visit to the Morse Museum, which houses the nation's largest collection of Tiffany works.

Few families holiday like the Kardashians, and since seeing the family's epic Indonesia trip, we've had Bali on our girlfriends getaway list. Let Pura Vida adventures do all of the leg work for you, so you and your girls just have to show up. The company's Bali surf and yoga trip includes an eight-day guided luxury retreat on the mainland of Bali and neighbouring island Nusa Lembongan. Beachfront properties, snorkeling in coral reefs, surfing impossibly blue waves, shopping in Bali, sunset yoga, and exploring the beautiful temples of Indonesia are just some of the experiences you and your friends will cherish.
