15 Actually Good Girls' Trip Destinations for 2027

Most lists like this are written by someone who has never had to coordinate six people with five different pay dates. So we sorted these by group type instead of by scenery. The scenery is fine everywhere. The problem is never the scenery.

Budgets below are per person for four nights, excluding flights unless noted, and assume you're sharing rooms like normal people.

For the group that wants to do nothing

Aruba ($850–$1,200). Consistent weather, short flights from the East Coast, and beaches that don't require a boat, a hike, or a shuttle. If half your group's idea of a holiday is a lounger and a book, this removes almost every possible argument.

Puerto Vallarta ($650–$950). Cheaper than Aruba, more to look at, and the old town means the two people who get restless by day three have somewhere to walk to.

Tenerife ($700–$1,000 from the UK, more from the US). Underrated. The north of the island is green and quiet and nothing like the resort strip everyone pictures.

For the group that eats first and plans later

Lisbon ($750–$1,100). Still the best value in Western Europe for a group, though it is no longer the secret it was in 2019. Stay in Príncipe Real rather than Bairro Alto unless someone in your group genuinely wants to be woken at 3am.

Mexico City ($600–$900). Extraordinary food at every price level, which matters when one person is happy with $4 tacos and another wants a tasting menu. Both are available within a ten-minute walk of each other in Roma Norte.

San Sebastián ($1,100–$1,600). Expensive, and worth it once. Pintxos crawls solve the group dinner problem completely because nobody has to agree on a restaurant.

For the group that wants a night out, not a residency

Cancún ($800–$1,300). All-inclusive resorts quietly absorb the budget argument, which is their real value. The nightlife is opt-in, so the two people who want to be in bed by eleven aren't held hostage.

Ibiza in May or October ($900–$1,400). The island in shoulder season is a different place: cheaper, calmer, and you can still get a table. In August it costs double and everyone is stressed.

Medellín ($550–$850). Cheap flights from Florida and Texas, excellent weather, and a genuinely good night out. Take the standard precautions you would in any large city and use registered taxis or apps after dark.

For the group with one very organised friend

Split and the Dalmatian islands ($900–$1,300). This works beautifully with a plan and falls apart without one, because ferries do not care about your group's timeline. If you have someone willing to build the itinerary, it's one of the best trips on this list.

Kyoto and Osaka ($1,400–$2,000 plus flights). Trains run on time, everything is walkable, and the food is astonishing at any budget. Book accommodation early; group rooms in Japan are small and go fast.

Marrakech ($600–$1,000). A riad sleeps a group properly and costs less than three hotel rooms. Agree in advance on how much haggling energy the group has, because it varies wildly between people.

For the group where nobody has any money

New Orleans ($450–$700 plus flights). The city does most of the work for you. Music is free or nearly free, and a rented house in the Marigny costs less per head than two hotel rooms.

Kraków ($400–$650). Ludicrously good value, beautiful, and the food is better than its reputation. Flights are the main cost if you're coming from the US.

San Diego ($550–$850). No passports, no currency conversion, no red-eye. If your group is spread across the US, this is the easiest yes you'll get all year.

One place we'd skip

Santorini in July. It's gorgeous and everyone knows it, which is the problem. You'll pay peak prices to queue for a sunset with four thousand other people. Go in late September, or go to Naxos and Paros instead and eat better for half the price.
