21 best girls’ weekend away ideas for 2024
Got a long overdue girls’ weekend away on the cards? We’ve got you covered. Whether you’re looking for an English weekend break or want to book a long-haul holiday with your besties, our guide to girls holiday ideas will help you finally get a destination in the diary – and get your trip booked.
We know it’s a mission to organise a trip with the girls – made only marginally easier by Doodle polls and shared calendars. Getting everyone to agree on a date is no mean feat. Is there really not a single weekend between now and July 2052 that we can all be free? UGH.
Even once you’ve nailed down a date for your girls' weekend, finding a destination that excites each and every one of you is the next task. Maybe one of your besties wants a fast-paced city break in Barcelona (find our round-up of the best hotels in Barcelona if that's the case), while another wants a relaxing spa stay to embrace the sleep tourism trend of 2024. And the third? She's after a boozy weekend break at one of the best hotels in the UK she'll definitely not remember. Let’s not even get started on cost – when everyone earns different amounts of money it's inevitable that everyone will have different budgets. It's a logistical nightmare, but fear not as our edit will help you finally take this girls holiday out of the group chat.

- Best Glamping: Private Pondside Luxury Glamping Pod, West Sussex
- Best Villa: Home with a Swimming Pool, Miami

We’ve got a rundown of the average price per night, plus how many people each rental sleeps, and – more importantly – how many bathrooms you’ll be fighting over.
If you're after sea air on your girls' weekend getaway, we've found a Quayside house in Looe, Cornwall that's within walking distance from the water. Or, if you want to finally live out your Parisian dreams, you'll love this chic townhouse, complete with a private terrace. How about a catch-up while you take a walking tour of Dubrovnik?
