Girls Trip Getaways are, like, the thing that gets me out of bed some days, especially sitting here in my cluttered Brooklyn apartment, coffee mug in hand, daydreaming about escaping with my besties. The radiator’s hissing like it’s got a personal vendetta, and I’m scrolling X, drooling over posts about celebrity vacations—y’know, the kind where they’re sipping rosé on a yacht or posing in some desert oasis. I’m not even close to that glam life, but I’ve had my share of girls’ trips that felt iconic in their own messy, human way. Like, last summer, I planned a girls’ trip to Miami, inspired by J.Lo’s Instagram, and ended up with sand in my bra and a sunburn that made me look like a lobster. But it was our chaos, y’know? Here’s my take on the top 10 Girls Trip Getaways, pulled from celeb inspo but grounded in my own, uh, less-than-perfect adventures.
Why Girls Trip Getaways Are My Jam
Okay, so I’m a sucker for the vibe of a girls’ trip. There’s something about packing a bag, blasting a playlist, and just going with your crew that feels like freedom. I remember this one time in Austin—totally inspired by Reese Witherspoon’s posts about her book club retreats—we rented this Airbnb that was supposed to be chic but had, like, one working shower for six of us. We laughed so hard we cried, taking turns rinsing off in this tiny stall while someone played “Sweet Caroline” on their phone. Celeb-inspired or not, Girls Trip Getaways are about those unfiltered moments—spilling wine, oversharing secrets, and feeling alive. Pro tip: always pack extra snacks; you’ll thank me when you’re starving at 2 a.m.
1. Miami, Florida – J.Lo’s Sultry Beach Vibes
Miami’s the ultimate girls’ trip getaway, thanks to J.Lo’s glowing beach pics that scream “live your best life.” I went last year, chasing that energy, and ended up at South Beach, where I tripped over my own flip-flops trying to take a cute group selfie. The vibe’s electric—neon lights, salsa music blasting, and cocktails that cost more than my rent. We stayed at a budget hotel (not quite J.Lo’s penthouse), but the rooftop bar felt like we were in her world. Check out Ocean Drive for nightlife that’ll make you feel like a star.
2. Napa Valley, California – Chrissy Teigen’s Wine-Fueled Retreats
Chrissy Teigen’s Napa posts are my girls’ trip getaway goals—wine tastings, rolling hills, and her just laughing with friends. I tried it last fall, and let me tell you, I’m not a wine connoisseur. I spilled Cabernet on my white jeans and pretended it was “artistic.” Napa’s vineyards, like Sterling Vineyards, are stunning, and the wine tram tour is perfect for a group. My tip? Bring a hat—sunburns and wine don’t mix.
3. Tulum, Mexico – Selena Gomez’s Boho Paradise
Selena Gomez’s Tulum pics are all over X, with those boho-chic vibes and turquoise waters. I went with my girls, inspired by her, and it was magical—until I got lost in a jungle Airbnb with no Wi-Fi. Tulum’s beaches, like Playa Paraíso, are unreal, and the cenotes are a must. I felt like a goddess swimming in one, even if I screamed when a fish brushed my leg. Visit Tulum’s official tourism site for planning.
4. Nashville, Tennessee – Kacey Musgraves’ Honky-Tonk Haven
Nashville’s my go-to for a girls’ trip getaway with a country twist, thanks to Kacey Musgraves’ cozy bar vibes. I went last spring, and we line-danced so badly we got pity claps at The Stage. The food’s unreal—hot chicken burned my soul, but I loved it. My crew and I stayed up all night singing karaoke. Pro tip: book a pedal tavern; it’s cheesy but fun.
5. Palm Springs, California – The Kardashian Desert Escape
The Kardashians make Palm Springs look like a girls’ trip getaway dream—mid-century houses, pool parties, and vibes. I went, expecting glamour, and ended up with a flat tire in 100-degree heat. Still, the pool at our rental saved us, and we felt like influencers for a hot second. Check out Visit Palm Springs for events. Pack light dresses—you’ll sweat.
6. New Orleans, Louisiana – Beyoncé’s Party Energy
Beyoncé’s love for NOLA screams girls’ trip getaway. I went for Mardi Gras, got beads stuck in my hair, and danced in the French Quarter till my feet gave up. Bourbon Street is wild, but the beignets at Café du Monde are life-changing. My mistake? Wearing heels. Don’t.
7. Santorini, Greece – Inspired by Every Celeb Ever
Santorini’s whitewashed cliffs and blue domes are all over celeb feeds, and it’s a girls’ trip getaway fantasy. I saved up for this one, and it was worth every penny—except when I got seasick on a boat tour. Oia’s sunsets are unreal; book a spot at Katikies Hotel if you’re splurging. Bring a good camera.
8. Las Vegas, Nevada – Cardi B’s Over-the-Top Nights
Vegas is Cardi B’s playground, and it’s a girls’ trip getaway classic. I went, lost $20 at slots, and danced at Omnia till 3 a.m. The Bellagio fountains felt like a movie. Pro tip: hydrate, or you’ll regret it.
9. Charleston, South Carolina – Reese Witherspoon’s Southern Charm
Reese’s Charleston posts ooze charm, and it’s perfect for a low-key girls’ trip getaway. I went, ate my weight in shrimp and grits, and tripped on a cobblestone street. King Street has cute shops, and ghost tours are a blast. Pack comfy shoes.
10. Aspen, Colorado – Kendall Jenner’s Winter Glam
Aspen’s Kendall Jenner’s winter vibe, and it’s a girls’ trip getaway for snow bunnies. I tried skiing, fell on my butt, and laughed it off with hot cocoa. Aspen Snowmass has great slopes. My advice? Take lessons first.
Wrapping Up My Girls Trip Getaway Dreams
So, yeah, girls trip getaways are my love language, even if I’m a hot mess half the time. From Miami’s beaches to Aspen’s slopes, these spots—stolen from celeb playbooks—make for epic memories. My biggest lesson? Embrace the chaos; it’s what makes these trips yours. Got a fave girls’ trip spot? Drop it in the comments on X—I’m always planning the next one!
