Best Girls\u2019 Weekend Getaways in Europe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Weekend City Breaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Paris<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Few cities are as effortlessly glamorous (and Instagrammable) as Paris, which is why it remains the gold standard destination for a girls\u2019 trip. The French capital offers world-class shopping, indulgent spa hotels<\/a>, and iconic dining experiences. Spend your afternoons browsing the chic boutiques of Le Marais before ending the day at one of the many upscale restaurants with a view of the Eiffel Tower. If you time your dinner after sundown, you\u2019ll be able to catch the mesmerising landmark in all of its twinkling glory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best time to visit: <\/strong>April to June for blooming gardens and the famous \u2018F\u00eate de la Musique\u2019 festival, or September to October for crisp air and fashion week vibes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

London<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

London is another unbeatable go-to for a luxury weekend break with the girls. Think rooftop cocktails, West End shows, and indulgent brunches. Home to a multicultural mixing pot, you\u2019ll be spoilt for choice of different cuisines to try. If you\u2019re looking for the ultimate bottomless brunch with a view, Wagtail offers two rooftop terraces with 360-degree panoramic views of the city \u2013 the perfect spot for toasting to your friendship anniversary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best time to visit: <\/strong>May to September for buzzing outdoor terraces and Royal Ascot season, or December for magical Christmas markets and fairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prague<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Prague blends fairytale architecture with surprisingly affordable luxury, making it a favourite for group getaways. Known for its opulent five-star hotels<\/a> and private opera boxes, it\u2019s a fantastic choice for groups who appreciate history with a side of glamour. Spend your days exploring the Old Town, enjoying riverside dining along the Vltava, and don\u2019t miss the chance to try a traditional Czech beer spa for a unique twist on pampering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best time to visit: <\/strong>May, June, and September offer the best weather for exploring the Old Town with fewer crowds. If you\u2019re willing to deal with larger crowds, visit during December to witness their world-famous Christmas markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Porto<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This Portuguese gem is perfect for a slower-paced city break. Famous for its port wine cellars and the stunning Ribeira district, Porto offers a blend of old-world charm and modern, affordable luxury. Expect wine tastings in the Douro Valley, strolling past tiled townhouses, and atmospheric waterside dining. Make sure to book a private river cruise for a sunset toast with your girls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best time to visit: <\/strong>June is wonderful for the S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o Festival, but the shoulder months of May and September provide warmer weather for alfresco dining and slightly fewer crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wellness Getaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Budapest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dubbed the \u2018City of Spas\u2019, Budapest is a hotspot for wellness breaks. Home to over 120 thermal springs and 50 bathhouses, it\u2019s an ideal location for a rejuvenating weekend away. Visit the neo-Baroque Sz\u00e9chenyi Baths for a dip in the thermal waters, or book a private session at the more intimate, Art Nouveau Gellert Baths. Don\u2019t forget to explore the chic bars and cafes this beautiful city has to offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best time to visit: <\/strong>April to May for temperate weather, perfect for walking between the city\u2019s many bathhouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reykjav\u00edk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For a bucket-list wellness getaway with the girls, Reykjav\u00edk is a standout destination, providing an ethereal backdrop. Expect geothermal spas, dramatic landscapes, luxury lodges, and the unforgettable Northern Lights from this Iceland holiday<\/a>. Whether you choose the Blue Lagoon, Sky Lagoon, or both, there\u2019s nothing quite like sinking into mineral-rich geothermal waters surrounded by volcanic landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best time to visit: <\/strong>September to March for a chance to see the Northern Lights, or June to August for the “Midnight Sun”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Istanbul<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Istanbul offers a rich blend of culture, cuisine and wellness. Treat yourselves to the ultimate luxury of a traditional Turkish hammam experience \u2013 we recommend the 16th-century H\u00fcrrem Sultan Hamam, a breathtaking and opulent sight of white marble and intricate tiled designs. Then indulge in rooftop dining overlooking the Bosphorus, a beautiful balance of relaxation and exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best time to visit: <\/strong>April to May or September to October to avoid the intense heat and humidity of mid-summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coastal Escapes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ibiza<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Beyond its reputation for nightlife, Ibiza is a sanctuary of luxury villas and hidden coves. It\u2019s a top choice for a 30th birthday trip, offering world-class beach clubs like Blue Marlin and high-end agroturismo retreats in the quiet north of the island. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best time to visit:<\/strong> May, June, and September for warm weather without peak-season crowds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Greek Islands<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Greek Islands are classic girls’ holiday destinations. Spend your days hopping between beaches, eating your body\u2019s weight in gyros, and relaxing in stylish villas overlooking the sea. For a bottomless brunch with a view, look to Mykonos or Santorini, where many beachside restaurants offer stunning coastal views alongside fresh Mediterranean cuisine and free-flowing prosecco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best time to visit: <\/strong>May to June and September to early October for guaranteed beach weather and calmer islands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lisbon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While technically a city, Lisbon\u2019s proximity to the Cascais coastline makes it a perfect hybrid escape. Pastel streets, rooftop bars, and sweeping sea views, it\u2019s perfect for relaxed weekend breaks with a touch of luxury. Known for its vibrant nightlife, Lisbon is the perfect spot for evening entertainment. Hit Bairro Alto for late-night cocktails, or explore the trendy bars of Cais do Sodr\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best time to visit: <\/strong>March to May or September to October to enjoy comfortable temperatures for walking the hills and experiencing the vibrant street life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secret Escapes\u2019 Top Travelling Tips for Groups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When planning a girls’ weekend away, comfort matters \u2013 especially when it comes to sleeping arrangements. If you\u2019re wondering where a large group of girls can stay in luxury without sharing beds, consider serviced apartments, holiday homes, or villas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer to be waited on hand and foot in a hotel (and why wouldn\u2019t you?), always check for twin-bed options or interconnecting rooms. Secret Escapes offers incredible deals on luxury hotel stays<\/a>, from boutique hotels<\/a> to 5-star stays<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
