What’s better than everything? Girl everything. Just as there’s truly no topping girl dinner, there’s no
topping a good old-fashioned girls’ getaway. When work’s getting you down, and when you just need a little break from goings-on at home, there’s no substitute for a break with your closest friends; it can
help you reset, live some new stories, and enjoy time together that the everyday routine often tends to
squeeze out.

If you’re reading this, then it’s your turn to pick the next destination for your next big girls’ trip. This is
no small task, as where you pick will define the memories you’ll cherish for decades to come. When
you pick a place that suits everyone’s pace, the whole trip feels easier and more memorable – so,
where should you think about going?

Barcelona

It’s hard to read any list of potential holiday destinations without coming across Barcelona. It’s a quintessential place-to-be, particularly in the summer – and for a wide variety of different reasons.
You could spend lazy afternoons on La Barceloneta beach, or lazy evenings in Old Town cocktail
bars; you could go on the cultural tour of a lifetime via Parc Guell, La Sagrada Familia and so much
more; you could even just settle into the feel of local living by exploring lively neighbourhoods and
talking with local stallholders at the Mercat de la Boqueria. Whatever you do, you’ll be doing so in one
of the most vibrant cities on the Western European map.

Algarve

Staying with the Iberian Peninsula, let’s look now to Portugal – more specifically, the prospect of
staying at a coastal resort in the Algarve. This is bucolic beachside bliss in a nutshell, the home of all
inclusive holidays that pair freedom with quietude; you’re freed from budgeting every meal, and left to
the relative quietude of your own collective devices. Finding the right resort for your girl-group vibe will
not be difficult, and the poolside gossip will surely flow just as easily!

Reykjavik

But sun and sea aren’t always what the goyls need, even if we always want them on some level.
Sometimes, there’s more fun to be had in taking a brave leap into some untested waters – namely,
the geothermal waters of Reykjavik. Iceland is a stark and stunning island, its capital a melding of
modern progress and provincial culture; throwing yourselves into a natural hot spring for a reflexive,
reflective bonding session could be the single most important thing you do for your mental health.
