Do you have any ideas for your next girls' getaway? Beach trips are a no-brainer for fun in the sun, but which coastal community should you visit? Neither Maui nor Ko Phi Phi Lee are easy to beat when it comes to tropical charisma.
Then again, Comporta has an off-the-beaten-path charm that's appealing to those who have been there and done that. Are you looking for a weekend getaway? From many major U.S. airports (ahem, the Bahamas), you can fly directly to a seaside idyll. Then again, maybe it's time to try something new and visit Bocas del Toro instead.
We've got you covered when it comes to sun-splashed escapes with your friends.
Bermuda

With pink-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and golf courses, Bermuda is a photogenic mid-Atlantic archipelago 640 miles off North Carolina's coast. The city's culture blends British and American influences, and its proximity to the United States makes it an ideal destination for girls weekends, especially for East Coasters. Sip rum swizzles at the luxurious Rosewood Bermuda and watch sailboats glide by.
Maui, Hawaii

The myriad adventures that Maui has to offer will appeal to active groups of friends. Swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking are all possible in the warm, crystalline waters. Among the most beautiful hiking spots on earth is Haleakal National Park, with its lush forests, streams, terraced pools, cascades, and a 10,023-foot dormant volcano. You could spend the entire trip sipping mai tais at the Montage Kapalua Bay's pool and be very happy with your decision.
Comporta, Portugal

Within an hour's drive of Lisbon, you'll find the idyllic coastal village of Comporta, with its pristine beaches, windswept dunes, and expansive rice fields. There is something hypnotic about its relaxed vibe that seems to induce a sense of calm in everyone who visits - even groups of gal pals. Ilha do Arroz is a laid-back spot to share octopus rice and a bottle of vinho verde on the sands of Praia Comporta.
Manhattan Beach, California

Manhattan Beach is just 20 miles from downtown Los Angeles, making it a great destination for a weekend getaway. This low-key Southern California community is perfect for sunning, surfing, selfies, or shopping. Snap a few photos with the ladies on Manhattan Beach Pier, and buy matching bracelets at a souvenir shop as you stroll along the Strand.
Ko Phi Phi Lee, Thailand

Would you like to take a girls trip to one of the prettiest places in Thailand? Yes, of course! In the Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi Marine National Park, Ko Phi Phi Lee is an uninhabited island with no residents - except for daytrippers and overnight resort guests. You may recognize it from a Leonardo DiCaprio film. There is no denying the natural beauty of its limestone cliffs, turquoise water, and world-famous beaches.
Grand Cayman

Few beach destinations can compare to Grand Cayman, a Caribbean island renowned for its crescent-shaped Seven Mile Beach. Laying out on the sun loungers at Palm Heights will provide you with plenty of quality time. In addition to sunset cocktails and fresh-caught seafood, this oh-so-chic hotel also makes for a great excuse to wear a new vacation outfit (who better to wear the fashion to than your friends?).
Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica

Peninsula Papagayo is on the north Pacific coast of Costa Rica and is home to stunning beaches and the luxurious Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo. In addition to bird watching, horseback riding, spa sessions, mixology classes, hitting the links, paddle boarding in the bay, and catching rays by the pool, guests can plan their itineraries to include a little bit of everything.
Bocas del Toro Town, Panama

Bocas del Toro Town is located on the southern tip of Isla Colón and offers the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation for a fun girls getaway (with plenty of leisure time). The morning can be spent surfing or watching rare red-billed tropicbirds, while the afternoon can be spent relaxing with a fruity cocktail on the sand. Are you wondering what to do in the evening? Visit one of the beach bars or go dancing.
St. Augustine, Florida

You and your crew will love St. Augustine, on the northeast coast of Florida, if you enjoy beautiful Atlantic Ocean beaches, great food, and history. In addition to centuries-old foundations, grand homes, and the 17th-century Castillo de San Marcos for Instagrammable backdrops, the oldest city in the continental United States is also home to centuries-old foundations, grand homes, and the tallest building in the continental United States.
Paradise Island, Bahamas

Paradise Island is connected to the bustling Bahamian capital by two bridges, making it the perfect stress-free escape for friends looking to relax in an island resort with blue skies, sunshine, and temperatures in the high 70s. There are 600 luxury suites with ocean views at The Cove at Atlantis, as well as an adults-only pool and private cabanas. There are also a variety of restaurants, a water park, and a casino available to guests.
