One of the best ways to ensure that you get the most stunning photos of your bachelorette is to plan it all at a place that you’ve never been before... From sitting on the beach with yours BBFs against a scenic view, to trying the adventure sports like zip lining and scuba diving and, not to forget, dancing to the beat of the best clubs, the list goes on. A destination bachelorette party at an island has got it all.
Here's our list of bachelorette-worthy island getaways.
1. Aruba
Aruba’s cool winds constantly blow on the white sand beaches with incredible sunsets. There are plenty of activities to experience with the girls. Sure, you’ll get dirty, dusty, and sweaty, but a jeep or an ATV tour along the trails of Arikok National Park with your girlfriends is an adventure you’ll definitely love. Reef diving, wind-surfing, and kite surfing are other activities for which Aruba is known. Aruba’s nightlife is some of the best that the Caribbean has. Beachfront lounges, exciting casinos, and lively clubs make it easy to sip cocktails, share stories, dance, and play until the sun rises again. For casinos be it in blackjack, poker, baccarat, Aruba's casinos offer it all.
2. Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico’s capital city, San Juan, has a great combination of daytime adventures and nightlife if you’re looking for non-stop excitement with your girls. Outdoor excursions include opportunities for kayaking, zip lining, and scuba diving. If the bridesmaids enjoy a good cocktail, then take them on a rum-tasting tour of the Bacardi Factory where you can even sign up for some Bacardi-based mixology lessons. At night, you'll have your share of bars, clubs, and even salsa dancing with your girls.
3. St. Lucia
A bachelorette party in St. Lucia is a great way to go if you want to warm up during the cold winter months. The view from the mountains is so beautiful that you would want to head back for your honeymoon. During daytime, you can visit Sulphur Springs, which is known as world’s only “drive-in volcano” as the road goes right up to the bubbling sulfur springs created by a collapsed crater. To be pumped up for the night ahead, you can take a warm mud bath. At night, you can opt for your choice of venues depending upon your taste, whether you are more into discos, live shows, or enjoy a mellower atmosphere.
4. Jamaica
The town of Ocho Rios in Jamaica is a great place for the bride-to-be who wants to spend her entire trip with her bridesmaids in their swimsuits, showing off their beach bodies and getting the best clicks. The most exciting part is that you can book a “booze cruise” and enjoy some rum punch with your girls.
5. Kitts and Nevis
St. Kitts is a great place if you’re fond of exploring nature, as more than a quarter of the land is preserved as a national park. If you’re one of those who wants to party in every club and your perfect party includes bar-hopping, then look no further than The Strip on Frigate Bay, in St. Kitts, as it has endless options for live music, open-air dance floors, pub food, and, of course, loads of drinks.
6. Dominican Republic
Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic is a good option for you if you want to throw a destination bachelorette party. The tour at Punta Cana is for you, if you and your girls are fond of great music, friendly people, delicious tropical rum cocktails, and want to celebrate on a catamaran. If you want to experience some local colour, be sure to check out one of the elaborate outdoor markets.
7. Bermuda
If you want to work out a little education into your trip with your girls, head to Dockyard where the National Museum is located. When you are winding down from your tourist excursions, you can partake in a more traditional bachelorette party activity by trying Bermuda's national drink, the Rum Swizzle, the cocktail usually consists of rum, citrus fruit juice, and grenadine, but your bartenders may have their own take on the signature beverage that you and your girls are surely going to love.
The big day is approaching, but there’s still one major party to have beforehand. Have you planned it yet?
