6 Trending Bachelorette Destinations for a Memorable Getaway in 2025
Bachelorette parties are changing. More friend groups than ever are now opting for destinations that prioritize quality time, engagement, and having fun but also taking it easy. Longer engagements, Guest Lists That Reflect A More Diverse World, skewed wellness priorities: The traditional, party-centric weekend is no longer the default. Rather, the destination is taking its cues from itself — whether that’s a mellow beach vibe or a picturesque mountain.
The best bachelorette destinations in 2025 are all about accessibility and top-rated travel consultants people like Lila Monroe of WanderKind Voyages and Tessa Ray from Embrace & Roam, say customization is key. Think private homes over mega resorts, wellness mornings and wine tastings, chef-led suppers, digital detoxes and flexible itineraries that leave room for plenty of downtime.
Here are six hot spots from tropical escapes to U.S. cities that hold the torch for bachelorette travel in 2025.
Cartagena, Colombia
Cartagena is fast emerging as one of the most colorful and adaptable bachelorette destinations. “It’s vibrant, culturally rich, and offers an insane range of experiences — from rooftop cocktails and yacht trips to old-world charm and unbelievable food — for only a fraction of the cost of Europe,” says Monroe. And when it isn’t, with more direct flights from major U.S. cities it’s easier to reach than ever, which is why it’s a top pick for tropical vibes — without the long-haul flight.
Must do: Rent a private boat out to the Rosario Islands for a day of sun and sea, then wander the cobbled streets with a private rum and chocolate tasting.
Thailand
Thailand is climbing the ranks as a bachelorette destination, and not just because of the "culture and fulfill my soul" level of activities. “We’re finding that more groups are planning travel around the specific events, such as Full Moon Festival in Thailand,” says Ray. The country’s verdant landscapes, lively beachfront towns, and peaceful getaways cater to every sort of traveler.
Whether dancing in the moonlight in Koh Phangan or booking a beachside spa day, Thailand allows for the perfect recipe of celebration with serenity. It’s the perfect place for a group that craves both unforgettable nights and peaceful mornings.
Charleston, South Carolina
Charleston is a popular destination for groups looking to combine charm, walkability, beach proximity and culture. “It’s ideal for guest lists that are multi-generational,” says Monroe. Boutique shopping on King Street, lazy afternoons at Folly Beach, Charleston has plenty to offer the combination traveler.
Pass your days gallery hopping and hitting the bike paths, then break for rooftop cocktails and Southern comfort food. Having a small downtown that is accessible from nearby cities makes Charleston a good option for a group with varying interests and energy levels.
The Bahamas
The Bahamas tick all the boxes for a warm-weather escape. With short and often direct flights from many U.S cities, it’s one of the best options for bachelorette travel in 2025. White sand beaches, turquoise waters, beach bars and wellness resorts make it a paradise for any kind of party.
Whether your group is more the morning-yoga-and-spa type or the dancing-under-the-stars type, the islands can deliver both. Forget big, noisy resorts, with private beachfront villas and quiet getaways eclipsing them — the ideal short-haul weekend that’s indulgent and intimate all at once.
The Berkshires, Massachusetts
With wellness-themed getaways on the rise, the Berkshires are becoming a popular choice for bachelorette groups seeking a slower pace. Boasting scenic vistas, world-class art museums, and plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities, this Massachusetts town (oh, yes town) is perfect for gals looking to go a little "Girls Gone Mild."
Visit local galleries, hike in a scenic spot, or arrange a luxe picnic in the hills. Group bonding exercises, including equine therapy and guided forest walks, put a special twist on the adventure, and ensure the trip is as healing as it is unforgettable.
The Catskills, New York
The Catskills will not disappoint if your troupe is yearning for fresh air and a snug getaway. An hour and a half from New York City, this mountainous region is an ideal way to get back to nature. Your days can be spent hiking, antiquing or skiing, and your nights can be spent around a firepit, with cocktails and games.
Boutique lodges and cabin-style stays are a mix of the rustic and chic. Many have facilities for group bookings such as communal lounges, fireplaces or the option of booking out the entire space. Planning a winter wonderland escape or a summer lake weekend?The Catskills were made for a modern, but low-key celebration.
Final Thoughts
Bachelorette trips in 2025 are about deliberate celebration — in a place that that matches the group’s collective vibe and values. Whether you’re seeking sun, nature or local culture, these trending destinations are all about providing experiential encounters to be remembered, so that guests can reconnect, rejuvenate and revel in style.
