There’s nothing quite like a girls’ trip. The group chat planning, the airport prosecco, the moment of realisation once you step off the airplane, that this is your time… Time to relax, reconnect, wear your best outfits, and make the kind of memories that only happen when you’re away with your favourite people.

Whether it’s cocktails in Palma, vintage shopping in Paris, or a spontaneous boat party off the coast of Ibiza, these trips are not really about the destination. They’re about feeling good, laughing until your stomach hurts, and maybe taking a few photos that you’ll scroll back to every time you need a little sparkle.

Over the years, I’ve picked up a few tips about how to pack smart, plan well, and party in style. So if you’re planning your next girls’ getaway and want it to be as fun and stress-free as possible, this guide’s for you.

Let’s get you ready.

Packing Tips: How to be Fashion Forward with Comfy Fits

Packing for a girls’ trip? It’s like a balancing act between looking chic and feeling comfy. Here’s how to nail it.

Statement Outfits and Glam Pieces

The goal is to pack outfits that can go from night to day with ease. Be it coffee runs or  cocktail nights, you’ll want some cute maxi dresses for sightseeing, bold prints and accessories that pop for that night in town.

Don’t forget your glam extras. A pair of statement earrings, a cute beach bag or a chic scarf can take your look from casual to fabulous in no time. It’s all about the little details that elevate your trip.

Comfy Fits and Travel Sized Products

You’re going to be walking a lot, so don’t skimp on the comfy shoes. A pair of stylish flats or sneakers is a must. You’ll want to feel comfortable while you’re roaming around, but also look cute when you’re snapping photos for the ‘gram. Think stylish athleisure sets paired with sneakers for travel.

Speaking of travel, our skin gets the most damage when travelling. Think lightweight skincare, a tinted moisturiser and dry shampoo to keep you fresh and glowing. Packing some travel sized skincare and beauty essentials will help you navigate those airline baggage limits.

Pre-Trip Planning: How to Get There with Ease

The best trips don’t just happen, they’re planned. Here’s how to set the right tone from the start.

Flights & Accommodation

Book your flights and hotel early to score the best deals. When it comes to hotels, pick somewhere that matches the vibe of your trip. If you’re after relaxation, go for a place with a spa. If you’re all about the nightlife, choose somewhere near the action. Try sites like Skyscanner, Expedia or Travelocity for great deals.

Syncing Energy Levels

Before the trip, have a chat with your squad about what everyone wants. Are we all about beach days, spa days or are we hitting the nightlife hard? Syncing up on what you want out of the trip means no one’s getting dragged to a nightclub when they’d rather chill by the pool. Plan some experiences like a hike, cycling tour or a spa day that you all can share.

Party Picks: Where to Party in Style

You’ve got to plan for some fun girls nights out, right? Here’s where to party in style.

Beach Clubs & Sunset Parties

If you’re after a more relaxed vibe, nothing beats a beach club with stunning views and a chilled atmosphere. Sip on a cocktail, listen to some smooth tunes and watch the sunset. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring.

Boat Parties

If you are looking for something a little bit more off-beat, try a boat party off the coast of Ibiza. It’s the ultimate combination of sun, sea, music, and cocktails. Don’t forget to plan at least one experience that feels extra special, whether it’s a spa day, rooftop cocktails, or even an Ibiza boat party. Those are the moments you’ll remember forever.

The Art of Balance: How to Keep It All Together

A great girls’ getaway isn’t all about the party, it’s about balance. Here’s how to keep things spontaneous, fun and still totally manageable.

Mindful Moments

Yes, you’ll want to enjoy every second, but it’s just as important to carve out some quiet time for yourself. Whether it’s a solo beach walk or a moment with your book, those little breaks help you recharge for whatever’s next on the agenda. A massage or getting some beauty treatments will be a great bonding moment while enjoying some quiet time.

Managing Wild Nights

You’re going to have some late nights, but that doesn’t mean you have to feel wrecked the next day. Drink plenty of water, grab a few hours of sleep, and maybe even enjoy a lazy brunch or a morning spa session to recover.

Group Chats and Moments

Spontaneity is one of the best parts of a girls’ trip. Use a group chat to plan those last-minute outings or simply to share what everyone’s up to. It’s a fun way to stay connected, especially if you’ve got a mix of solo adventures and group activities.

Photo Tips & Insta Moments: How to Capture the Magic

A girls’ trip is full of unforgettable moments and you’ll want to make sure you capture them. Here’s how to get the best shots without feeling cheesy.

Perfect Shots

It’s all about finding that perfect lighting and making it look effortless. Whether it’s a group photo or a solo selfie, keep it natural and have fun with it. Don’t overthink it, just enjoy the moment. You can also add sunglasses or a hat to add that little flair to your shot.

Insta-Worthy Locations

Go for iconic spots that are perfect for photos. Rooftops, sunset views and charming streets and the best places make the photos come to life. And it’s a fun way to relive those memories when you’re back home.
