Spaaah-tacular Sisterhood: Top Destinations for a Luxurious Bridesmaids Getaway

Planning a wedding is an exciting experience, but it is undoubtedly a stressful one as well. That’s why a fundamental and important part of the build-up to any wedding day is the bridesmaids' getaway!

Getting away with the girls is the perfect excuse for a spot of pampering, relaxation, and luxury, and a great way to ensure you are all refreshed, relaxed, and ready when the big day arrives! So whether you sail on a cruise from Florida or head off for a spiritual experience in the desert, here are some of the best destinations for a spaaah-tacular bridesmaids' getaway.

Sedona, Arizona: The Land of Enchantment

Arizona’s mystical, otherworldly desert landscape is the perfect backdrop for a weekend of healing, mindfulness, and self-care. The stunning red rock formations that make Sedona such a magical place provide a stunning background to this serene oasis, and the area boasts some absolutely world-class spa resorts.

One of the best of these is the Mii Amo Spa at the Enchantment Resort, a wonderful spot inspired by Native American traditions that provides a wide variety of unique spa therapies.

Sedona is also a great spot for a break, with hiking in the Red Rock State Park, stargazing, and a selection of charming art galleries and boutiques to explore.

Napa Valley, California: Wine and Wellness

For pure luxurious indulgence, it is hard to beat the Napa Valley. This glorious corner of California packs a huge amount in, beginning with its world-beating wineries but also its amazing spas, incredible dining experiences, and beautiful scenery.

The Spa at Meadowood Napa Valley is one of the best options for an exquisite break, giving your group the chance to enjoy vinotherapy - spa treatments where grape seeds, skins, and stems are used to take advantage of their powerful antioxidant properties.
Once you’ve fully relaxed you can go on to taste amazing wines at the top wineries of the region, or go for something a little more adventurous with a hot air balloon ride or a Michelin-starred meal.

Amalfi Coast, Italy: Coastal Charm

The Amalfi Coast in Italy is the epitome of elegance and sophistication and makes the perfect bridesmaids’ destination for a wedding party that loves the finer things in life. From the charming towns perched atop towering cliffs to the azure waters and glorious rolling hills of the countryside, it is a truly enchanting destination. It is also full of world-class spas and unbelievably good food.

The Monastero Santa Rosa Hotel and Spa is something truly different, a spa hotel housed in a former monastery, adding a touch of historical class to an elite, luxurious experience. Beyond the spa, the towns of Positano and Ravello are gorgeous, and a break here should include plenty of time dining out on the local specialties crafted from the region’s lemons and olives.

Reykjavik, Iceland: Nordic Nirvana

For adventurous, nature-loving groups, a spa retreat to Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, is a magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience. The chance to enjoy spa treatments in the natural geothermal waters of this incredible volcanic island is unmissable, as well as the opportunity to enjoy the stunning landscapes while warming yourselves in the rejuvenating waters of the Blue Lagoon.
