You’re long overdue for some quality time together—so why not spend that time catching up someplace spectacular? Luxury spa resorts are the ultimate destination for girlfriend getaway, since they provide plenty of pampering in gorgeous settings.
But not all spa resorts are the same, of course. Discover my three favorite spots worthy of an unforgettable girlfriend getaway—and which one you should choose depending on what you and your BFFs are seeking in a vacation, right now:
If you want to indulge …
Soak up some Tuscan sun together at Castello di Velona Resort, Thermal Spa & Winery in Montalcino. Yes, it has all the hallmarks of a luxe spa resort, including a massive spa complex with two Turkish baths, a panoramic sauna, and an ice fountain. The spa is fed by the warm thermal waters of the Val d’Orcia, and you can even choose a room that has the hot thermal water on tap for the bathtub.
What really sets Castello apart, though, is that it’s also a working winery—and happens to be situated in one of the most prestigious wine regions in the world. It produces an elegant Brunello di Monalcino, and with the resort’s limited production, it’s a wine that’s exceedingly hard to find stateside. That means you and your girlfriends should definitely drink up while you’re there. They even offer a private blindfolded tasting experience so you can be fully enveloped by the exceptional flavors—opt for the tasting that also includes extra virgin olive oil produced by the estate as well!
If you want to unwind …
Sometimes, all you need is some sun, surf, and a wide-open schedule that gives you plenty of time to chill on the beach. Let’s make sure that beach is exceptional—and it will be, when you and your girlfriends check into Rosewood Little Dix Bay in the British Virgin Islands. This ultra luxe resort is situated front and center on a half-mile of the world-famous Crescent Beach. Just offshore is a vibrant coral reef, so you can strap on some flippers and snorkel through glass-clear waters to your heart’s content.
If you want to change up your beach bum routine, take the resort’s water taxi to one of the other pristine beaches scattered around Virgin Gorda. Since many of these beaches are only accessible by water, there is a good chance you’ll be sharing the sand with no one else. Rosewood’s chefs can even pack you a gourmet lunch so you can enjoy a picnic beneath the palms. This Rosewood offers sophisticated accommodation options well suited to groups, including a two-bedroom suite that sleeps up to eight—and offers direct access to the beach.
If you want to reset (and rock out) …
Nestled deep within Texas Hill Country you’ll find Miraval Austin, from the venerated Miraval wellness resort brand. Miraval is known for its “360 degree” approach to wellness, incorporating approaches designed to nurture your mind, body, and soul. From yoga sessions and Ayurveda spa services to “floating” meditation, pottery lessons, and challenging outdoor obstacle courses, there’s something for every kind of wellness traveler at Miraval. The vibe here is luxe creative, with engaging spaces designed to encourage you to put down your devices and live in the present.
The Mirval property sits just outside Austin, one of the premier music cities in the U.S. So after you and your girlfriends have gotten on your “zen,” skip into the city for some higher-octane fun. Bar crawl through rocking live music venues downtown, and be sure to leave some time to chow down on Austin favorites like smoked barbeque and Tex-Mex-style tacos.
