How to choose a unique bachelorette party destination
Checks to run before the group commits.
Ask the bride what she wants
A beach, the mountains, wine, or a night out, then pick towns that fit.
Check where to stay
Search for one rental or hotel that sleeps the whole group. See bachelorette Airbnb.
Call about a table
Ask two restaurants whether they seat a group your size on a Saturday.
Look at the travel time
Check the drive or flights for the guests who live furthest away.
Check the season
Some small towns are quieter or partly closed outside their main season.
Set the budget
Compare the per head cost with the group before booking. See bachelorette party destinations on a budget.
09
Why pick a unique bachelorette party destination
A weekend nobody in the group has done before.
A unique bachelorette party destination gives the girls a trip nobody has taken before, often for less than the famous party cities. The perfect choice fits the bride: a beach getaway, a mountain escape, a wine region or a charming small destination with a vibrant local food scene.
What you trade
Smaller places have fewer bars and clubs than a big party city, so the weekend leans toward activities, outdoor days and long dinners. Book the house, the dinner and any activities early, because there are fewer options to fall back on.
Nightlife and fun
For a night out, look for a main street with a few bars, a brewery or winery that stays open late, live music or a local comedy show. A night in is fun too: a private chef, games, a hot tub and a playlist at the rental.
Photos for the post
Unique destinations make great Instagram photos: red rock views in Sedona, lighthouses in Door County, mansions in Newport or sunsets on the bay in Traverse City. Plan one golden hour moment with the bride for the post.
How much to spend
Most of the US destinations on this page cost less per head than the site median of $1,060. Agree the budget with every guest before booking, and add flights for anyone who is not driving.
Where to stay
A rental home that sleeps everyone keeps the group together. If there are no large houses, rooms at one inn, boutique hotel or resort work too. Avoid splitting the group across two properties.
Somewhere new for everyone, with one house for the whole group.
