You don't have to wait for your friends' schedules to align to see the world. That's the whole idea behind a great girls getaway — and 2026 is shaping up to be one of the best years yet for women's group travel, solo travel, and small-group adventures built around connection, culture, and zero apologies for wanting a nap instead of dinner.
Here's where women are booking right now, and what to know before you go.
Marrakesh is the breakout girls trip destination of 2026 — a chic, sensory-rich alternative to the usual European city break. Think rooftop dinners with Atlas Mountain views, hammam spa rituals, bustling souks for one-of-a-kind finds, and belly-dancing dinner shows that make for the best group photos of the year.
Gurvy Tip: Book a riad (traditional guesthouse) over a standard hotel — most have private courtyards and rooftop terraces, ideal for a group that wants both privacy and atmosphere. Spring and fall offer the most comfortable temperatures for exploring the medina on foot.
Paris remains the gold standard for a girls trip that blends style, food, culture, and effortless fun — and it rewards groups who slow down and stay longer rather than trying to hit every landmark in three days.
Gurvy Tip: Base yourselves in one neighborhood (Le Marais and Saint-Germain-des-Prés are favorites) and walk everywhere. It's the difference between a trip that feels like a checklist and one that feels like a story.
For groups craving reconnection over sightseeing, wellness-focused itineraries in Switzerland and Spain are having a real moment — think thermal spas, mountain air, and slower mornings built around how everyone actually wants to feel by the end of the trip, not just what they saw.
Gurvy Tip: Build in at least one unstructured day. The best wellness trips aren't fully scheduled — they leave room for the spontaneous, "let's just stay by the pool" afternoon.
Across every destination, one theme defines travel in 2026: women want meaningful connection—reuniting with close friends, meeting new travel companions, and exploring the world without waiting for someone else’s schedule to align.
That's exactly what Suitcase Gals was built for. If you've been putting off a trip because you couldn't get a group together, that's no longer the barrier — you can join a small-group getaway designed for women who are ready to go now.
Thinking about which destination fits your group best? Reach out and let's build the itinerary around what your friends actually want out of the trip — not just where everyone's seen on Instagram.
