2. Palm Springs: Don your polo shirt and embark on a golfing getaway! Palm Springs is home to an array of stunning courses, including the Arnold-Palmer-designed SilverRock course (the longest layout in Palm Springs).
3. Isla Mujeres, Mexico: A girls’ trip to a destination that means “Island of Women” is fate, right? The island is just 5 miles long, but provides plenty of shop-filled streets and fishing-village-charm—perfect for catching up with old (and new) friends.
4. Napa County: Wine and dine in Napa with your closest pals; the area boasts breathtaking views, vineyard tours and—of course—tons of tasting rooms.

8. Vancouver: Skip the Big Apple and head to the “Manhattan with mountains” for a scenic shopping and sightseeing adventure. Downtown Vancouver is peppered with luxury shops, music venues and plenty of poutine.
9. Maui, Hawaii: Sometimes there’s nothing better than enjoying a beachside piña colada. Maui’s Kaanapali Beach offers plenty of oceanfront relaxation, along with scuba diving, snorkeling, shopping and people-watching.
10. Austin: A destination in itself, the Lake Austin Spa Resort in Austin comprises 19 waterfront acres, 3 pools and included activities like water yoga, tarot reading and poker. Oh, and did we mention the swoon-worthy LakeHouse Spa?
