Once a person has found a solid, reliable group of friends, there comes a time to take the next step – that’s right ... plan a girls’ trip!

Although the beach is enough to make any vacation feel relaxing, some things just are not as enjoyable without your closest friends. A girls’ trip gives you a view of the world and new places that you love and cherish along with your people. Herein, some ideal destinations at beaches for planning girls’ trips, along with the best time to visit these places in 2025. Charleston, South Carolina, is a popular girls’ trip destination known for its vast food scene and historic charm.

Seminyak Beach: Bali, Indonesia

This is the sand-to-surf destination that has everything a beach-lover would want: luxury resorts, beach clubs, and a vibrant atmosphere. A horse ride along the coast, sightseeing at the temples nearby, or dancing to a DJ set while the sun goes down are some of the activities for best friends visiting Seminyak Beach.

Playa Paraiso: Tulum, Mexico

The Playa Paraiso in Tulum boasts breathtakingly beautiful white sand beaches and crystal-clear ocean water. Visitors can spend a relaxing day on the beach and later tour ancient Mayan ruins, rent beachfront cabanas, and sample fresh seafood in restaurants along the beachfront.

Sunny days in Tulum, Mexico are the norm; however, November through April are better times due to less humidity and fewer rains.

Other options for friends seeking a vibrant nightlife include South Beach. It is considered one of the best party cities in the country, so those traveling to Miami will have enough nightlife options to suit all tastes. During the day, friends can take an Art Deco-laden Ocean Drive stroll, visit the Miami Beach Botanical Garden or rent a boat. South Beach also offers first-rate dining experiences, making it a well-rounded destination for a girls’ trip.

This city should be best visited between November to April since the temps are cooler, there is less humidity in the air and the hurricane season is over.

Patong Beach: Phuket, Thailand

Thailand provides a very exciting destination for groups of friends to holiday, experience open-air markets or bars, as well as different types of watersport activities. Outdoor activities (other than the obvious swimming) include the option of going to any botanical or wildlife sanctuaries to be better educated on Thailand’s beautiful natural environment. For those seeking a nature-focused girls’ weekend, destinations like Maine also offer a serene and refreshing escape.

The cool and dry season spans from November through to February and is therefore the best time of the year to visit Patong Beach.
