6 Trending Bachelorette Party Destinations to Consider for an Unforgettable Getaway in 2025

Bachelorette trips are moving in a new direction: Brides are prioritizing destinations that give their groups a chance to focus on quality time and connection over a more traditional party-first approach. With later-in-life weddings, multi-generational guest lists, and shifting wellness priorities, the one-size-fits-all weekend no longer applies. Instead, groups are looking for locations that reflect their pace, whether it’s a quiet weekend in the mountains or a beach destination with just enough nightlife.

According to travel experts Brianna Glenn of Milk + Honey Travels and Lauren Wilt of Quintessentially, the most in-demand destinations for bachelorette parties this year strike a balance between accessibility and personalization. Think: Private villas over massive resorts, spa mornings followed by wine tastings, chef-table dinners, unplugged days, and itineraries that leave room for downtime.

From emerging international favorites to domestic gems that offer something for everyone, here are six trending bachelorette destinations leading the way in 2025.

Cartagena

When it comes to the one underrated destination poised to become a breakout favorite in 2025 for bachelorette parties, “Cartagena is one to watch,” says Glenn. “It’s vibrant, colorful, rich in culture, and offers everything from yacht days and rooftop cocktails to historic charm and fantastic food—all at a much more accessible price than Europe or the Caribbean.” With more direct flights from major U.S. cities, it's increasingly easy to reach, making it a smart pick for groups looking for tropical vibes without long-haul travel. For an unforgettable experience, be sure to charter a private boat to the Rosario Islands for a sun-soaked day at sea, then wander Cartagena's cobblestone streets with a private rum and chocolate tasting tour.

As for where to stay? Hotel Casa San Agustín is a stylish boutique property that blends colonial architecture with modern touches. It also boasts a photogenic courtyard pool that’s perfect for unwinding after a day in the sun. For a livelier experience, book rooms at Townhouse Boutique Hotel, where rooftop brunches, bold design, and an atmosphere that’s ideal for celebratory weekends are all on offer. Pro tip: The rooftop bar is a go-to for sunset cocktails before a night out. Last but not least, Casa Lola is across three historic mansions and has artful interiors with greenery, two rooftop pools, and a spa—it's a great option for groups looking to mix culture with comfort.

Thailand

“Another trend we see is choosing to go to a destination for a specific event, for example, traveling to Thailand for the Full Moon Festival,” says Wilt. Thailand is quickly climbing the list of go-to bachelorette destinations, thanks—at least in part—to the buzz around the third season ofThe White Lotus. The show put a spotlight on the country's natural beauty, culture, and design-forward hotels, inspiring many brides-to-be to head to Thailand for their pre-wedding getaway. Whether it’s dancing under the moon at Koh Phangan’s legendary Full Moon Party or unwinding with a beachside spa day, this destination offers the kind of balance between culture and relaxation that many groups are after. 

Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort is a favorite for its prime beach location and sleek, modern design—it's great for groups who want to stay close to the action but still have room to relax. For something with a little more edge, Anantara Lawana Koh Samui offers private villas and a treehouse-style bar that feels made for sunset cocktails. Over in Phuket, Anantara Mai Khao is more laid-back and ideal for a wellness-focused crew, with outdoor spa suites and tons of space to spread out. The three properties even offer a Lotus Awakening Escape package, for a spiritual journey with sacred rituals, private dining, and spa treatments included.

Charleston

With charm, culture, and coastline, Charleston continues to be a trending favorite for bachelorette groups. “When the bride’s guest list includes moms, aunts, or even younger cousins, we recommend destinations with built-in flexibility and charm,” says Glenn. “South Carolina is great for this—walkable towns, great dining, beach or wine options, and a relaxed pace.” The city’s combination of beach and historic downtown, plus its accessibility via direct flights and drivable proximity to many Southern cities, makes it ideal for a group with varied interests. Days can be spent shopping on King Street, biking along the Battery, or heading to Folly Beach or Isle of Palms for sun and sand, while nights are all about rooftop cocktails, Southern food, and a lively bar scene.

The Charleston Place is an iconic hotel in the heart of downtown that offers a sophisticated stay with spacious suites, a rooftop pool, and a full-service spa—perfect for pre-wedding pampering. Don’t miss afternoon tea at the Thoroughbred Club or Champagne toasts before a night out. For a more playful, artsy vibe, The Vendue is Charleston’s only art hotel, featuring over 200 original pieces and stylish rooms ideal for group stays. The hotel’s rooftop bar is a standout for sunset drinks, and the complimentary bikes make exploring the city a breeze. For a quieter, boutique option, Zero George offers an intimate setting with a chef-led restaurant and porch-perfect common areas. It’s ideal for smaller groups looking for a slower-paced weekend.

The Bahamas

Thanks to its turquoise waters and quick flights from a variety of different cities in the U.S., the Bahamas is climbing the ranks as a top bachelorette pick for 2025. We’re seeing a shift toward warm-weather destinations, and the Bahamas checks every box. The islands offer everything from yacht days and spa mornings to beach clubs and buzzing cocktail bars. Whether your crew is into wellness or late nights (or both), this destination delivers.

For the brides looking for a secluded, slow-paced escape, Kamalame Cay private island resort is all about barefoot luxury. It offers multi-room beachfront villas, in-room spa treatments, and quiet time with your inner circle far from the crowds. Glenn is aligned, saying, “We’re seeing a clear shift toward groups still being all about celebrating, but the emphasis is on connection and comfort over chaos. Think private villas instead of big resorts." For a party-forward experience, SLS Baha Mar in Nassau is the go-to. For something off the beaten path, The Cove, Eleuthera is a hidden gem with newly-renovated suites and villas perfect for groups of four to six, complete with private plunge pools and expansive shared living spaces.

The Berkshires

As more brides trade in late nights for wellness weekends, the Berkshires are seeing a rise in popularity for low-key bachelorette parties. With scenic mountain views and access to world-class museums, the Berkshires are ideal for groups leaning into the "Girls Gone Mild" vibe. Art lovers can explore the Clark Art Institute and the Williams College Museum of Art, or take a short drive to MASS MoCA for large-scale, immersive installations.

Located in the heart of Williamstown, The Williams Inn is a modern-meets-rustic inn, a perfect base for relaxed bachelorette weekends. Groups can book a private guided hike with Berkshire Camino, plan a styled picnic with Berkshire Picnics, or try a bonding session with horses at HorseWorks for something truly restorative. 

“Brides love the opportunity to focus on connecting with their friends, as these times are few and far between with everyone’s busy schedules. We are seeing brides book wellness retreats for their bachelorettes at places like Miraval,” says Wilt. For a full-on wellness escape, Miraval offers a luxury all-inclusive experience with spa treatments, mindfulness classes, equine therapy, and outdoor adventures—all in a serene setting designed for unplugging and recharging.

The Catskills

This year, more bachelorette groups are leaning into relaxed, nature-forward getaways—and the Catskills check all the boxes with easy access from New York City, boutique hotels, and year-round activities. It’s the perfect place to swap the hustle for fresh air and great food. Think hiking by day, local brews by afternoon, and cozy dinners or dancing by night—spots like The Pines and Peekamoose help set the tone. No matter the season, there’s plenty to do, from pool lounging in summer to skiing Hunter Mountain or antique hunting in Tannersville during the colder months.

Eastwind Oliverea Valley blends Scandinavian-inspired design with mountain views. Bridal parties can book interconnecting Fern Suites for a relaxed, communal space, with perks like a sauna and outdoor pool. For a more exclusive vibe, Hotel Lilien—a charming 18-room boutique hotel—can be fully bought out, turning the space into a private retreat complete with craft cocktails, board games, and fireplace hangs. Scribner’s Lodge rounds out the options with a design-forward atmosphere, on-site dining at Prospect, and panoramic mountain views—ideal for groups who want both adventure and downtime in one place.
