Best girls holiday destinations

Isn’t it time the girls holiday made it out of the group chat and onto the beach? Make it happen with our travel tips for the best destinations in Europe for a girlie getaway.

If your love of a good party brings your group together, this is the travel guide for you.

Which holiday destination will you choose?

When planning the perfect girls holiday, balancing beach days, nightlife and memorable experiences can really elevate the trip. One of the best ways to do this is by adding a daytime adventure like the Magaluf Boat Party – sunshine, music and drinks on the water before the night begins make for unforgettable group memories.

Ibiza Party Guide

1. Ibiza, Balearic Islands

If you’re chasing good times and excellent vibes, party paradise Ibiza is one of the best girls holiday spots.

Combining beautiful beaches, epic nightlife and stunning scenery, it has everything you need for a memorable trip, and it’s a short flight from most UK airports.

Ibiza is home to world famous superclubs like Pacha, Amnesia, and Ushuaia as well as high-end bars and restaurants offering VIP experiences.

There’s plenty of fashionable hotels and gorgeous villas to stay in, as well as the Old Town to explore its historic walls and chic boutiques.

Our Ibiza Boat Party is loved by hen groups and friends alike — the perfect daytime warm-up before nights out in world-famous clubs.

Girls Holiday Split

2. Split, Croatia

For girlies who love to mix partying with a spot of culture, Split is the spot.

It’s a charming city with an unmistakably cool scene, where lux beach clubs contrast with lively pubs in the Old Town.

There’s lots of sightseeing to be done – don’t miss the historic Diocletian’s Palace, and take the chance to do some island hopping.

Split is more affordable than other popular party hotspots if you’re on a tight budget – a great option for a cheap girls holiday.

If you’re exploring the Dalmatian coastline, don’t miss a Split Boat Party for music, sea vibes and a great daytime social experience.

Weighing up a city break or a beach holiday? You don’t have to choose with Barcelona, as it’s the destination that has it all. 

Ideal for a weekend away with short flights from major UK airports, Barcelona offers a beautiful mix of culture, nightlife, and beach vibes.

See sights like the famous Parc Guell and Sagrada Familia, soak up the sun on the beach, book some fun Barcelona day trips, indulge in delicious tapas and sangria, and party to your heart’s content at unmissable events and club nights.

During the day, groups head out on boat parties and beach cruises, dancing on deck with DJs, swim stops and open-bar options. In the evenings, the island comes alive with cocktail bars, sunset lounges and world-class clubs in Laganas and Tsilivi.

Zante is especially popular with groups looking for a fun, social atmosphere without the high prices of Ibiza, making it one of the best all-round girls’ holiday destinations in Europe.
