Best Bachelorette Party Destinations in the World:
From Atlantic City to Las Vegas, the USA boasts the best places in the world for a bachelorette party. Below is a bachelorette party destination guide for you to gain inspiration for when you book your own celebration or your bestie’s last bash!
Best Bachelorette Destinations on the East Coast:
New York City is a classic bachelorette party destination with renowned rooftops like 230 Fifth, an exciting nightlife scene from the Lower East Side to the Meatpacking District and boasts unique experiences from Summit One Vanderbilt to the North River Lobster Company cruise as well as the Escape Games to food tours.
During the day, New York City has some of the best brunch spots where you can indulge in delicious breakfast paella from a Boqueria location to sipping cotton candy mimosas at Sveta. A bachelorette party in New York City can also include a fun picnic in Central Park with some rosé and a fresh New York pizza pie as well as sightseeing in the exciting Times Square, Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan areas.
A great and affordable bachelorette destination with a renowned bar and rooftop scene, iconic restaurants, “Instagrammable” murals and walkable city adventures is Charlotte, North Carolina!
Charlotte is an up-and-coming city in the USA and some of the best things to do there are to visit local breweries, go kayaking at the U.S. National Whitewater Center and also do a fun hiking adventure in the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains.
For the brides who love a good party at the beach, Ocean City, Maryland is one of the best destinations for bachelorette parties! A trip to Ocean City is not complete without having a grand ole’ time at Seacrets. This fun bayside entertainment venue features several dance floors, concert stages, tiki bars and Jamaican-inspired foods and cocktails.
Another fun spot to enjoy with your girlfriends is Fager’s Island that also boasts renowned DJs, live music and great food and drinks! In addition to enjoying the beach and boardwalk, Assateague Island National Seashore is also a great outdoor location for a fun day trip with the girls! At Assateague Island, you can hike and explore around the beautiful beaches as well as watch the wild horses gallop along the shoreline.
Atlantic City, New Jersey:
Fellow Jersey girls, if you’re looking to get the Vegas experience for your bachelorette weekend, without flying across the country, then you must enjoy a fun celebration in Atlantic, City! From casinos to nightclubs and great dining options to the beach, Atlantic City has something that every bride and her girlfriends like to enjoy.
Some of the best things to do in Atlantic City during a bachelorette party are to have fun at Harrah’s pool party; play some blackjack at the Borgata or catch a concert at the Hard Rock Hotel. During the day, relax at the nearby Brigantine Beach and enjoy fresh seafood and cocktails at Laguna Rum Bar; go parasailing; visit the Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall and check out the rides on Steel Pier. A great day trip to do from Atlantic City is to visit the charming town of Cape May!
Midwest Bachelorette Destinations:
Chicago, Illinois:
One of the most memorable locations for a bachelorette party for 20-something brides is Chicago, IL. A weekend in Chicago for a bachelorette trip is a blast! From chartering a boat on Lake Michigan to rooftop bar hopping, there are countless things to do in Chicago during a destination bachelorette party.
In addition to partying, there are a lot of great attractions to check out during the day like Millennium Park, which features the famous Cloud Gate, otherwise known as “The Bean”; Wrigley Stadium or Navy Pier, to name a few! Don’t forget to grab deep dish pizza from Giordano’s or Lou Malnati’s. Overall, getting around Chicago is easy. You can navigate the city on foot or simply hop on the L Train for cheap public transportation.
Petoskey, Michigan:
Any Michiganer will tell you that Petoskey is a beautiful and lively city. That’s why I had to add it to my list of fabulous, but low key bachelorette party locations. During your trip, you’ll want to take countless photos, but the catch about Petoskey is that it’s one of the best bachelorette party destinations for the 20-something bride on a budget!
A memorable bachelorette party in Petoskey looks like wine tasting at one of the many spectacular vineyards and wineries. You can also explore the charming downtown area, enjoy live music and relax on the breathtaking Lake Michigan.
Southern Bachelorette Destinations:
Known as the number one bachelorette party destination in the world, there is no doubt that Nashville is one of the best places to celebrate your friend’s final days of being single. With live country music, delicious Southern comfort food and “Instagrammable” restaurants, Nashville has it all!
The best things to do during a bachelorette weekend in Nashville is to have fun at the bars on Broadway; take the Nashville Tractor around Downtown; join the Governor’s Pool Party at White Limozeen and do a pontoon boating experience at the nearby Percy Priest Reservoir.
Miami, Florida:
Miami is one of the best bachelorette party destinations in Florida! Arguably, Miami, Florida has incredible beaches, nightclubs, a renowned art scene and posh hotels. The experiences and opportunities in the Magic City are endless!
If you’re wondering what to do in Miami, Florida during a bachelorette trip, then you must check out one of the beach clubs in South Beach; admire the art at Wynwood; shop through the Miami Design District; dine in Brickell City Centre and check out the famous Villa Casa Casuarina, which is the former Versace Mansion. Another fun thing to do in Miami is to see a concert at Olympia Theater.
Back in 2018, I visited the thriving city of Austin, Texas. After my time in Austin, I can confidently say that the Texas capital is one of the trendiest bachelorette destinations after Nashville. Downtown Austin has some of the best BBQ, talented murals and great restaurants.
In addition, a bachelorette weekend in Austin is not complete without enjoying live music on 6th Street; cooling off at Barton Springs and tubing on Lake Travis!
One of my personal favorite bachelorette destinations is New Orleans. It is a timeless city filled with history, culture, music, a great party atmosphere and amazing cuisine! In fact, if I had to recommend my top place to visit in your 20s, it would have to be the Big Easy!
During a bachelorette party in New Orleans, I recommend spending an evening on Bourbon Street; visiting a jazz bar on Frenchmen Street and also participating in a haunted ghost tour. In addition, a fun alligator tour on a local bayou is always a blast during the day and shopping along Magazine Street is always a must. Don’t forget to grab some beignets from Café du Monde and a Hurricane drink from Pat O’Brien’s!
Western Bachelorette Destinations:
Looking for a memorable, event-filled bachelorette trip? Look no further, Las Vegas is one of the best destinations for bachelorette parties. In 2020, I visited Vegas for the first time and what it offered did not disappoint!
While you should visit Las Vegas for the casinos on The Strip, one of the main reasons why Sin City is recognized as one of the top bachelorette party destinations is because of its pool parties, Cirque du Soleil shows and boozy brunch spots. During the day, enjoy a hike in Valley of Fire State Park or even do a day trip to Grand Canyon West or Zion National Park! No matter what, you can never go wrong with a Vegas bachelorette party!
For the adventure-loving bride, one of the coolest places to celebrate your transformation from Ms. to Mrs. is in Denver, Colorado. Denver is the ultimate mountain city and escape for those looking to hike and explore.
When you’re not out in Rocky Mountain National Park or wandering through the Garden of the Gods, enjoy the beer scene in Colorado’s capital city, catch a concert at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre or do a day trip to the charming, nearby mountain city of Boulder.
Aspen, Colorado:
All the winter loving brides need to plan their bachelorette party in Aspen! Whenever I think of Aspen, Colorado, I imagine skiing down beautiful snowy slopes; ice skating in a winter wonderland and strolling through the mountain village.
Overall, Aspen is a new trendy travel destination for a bachelorette trip. In Aspen, you can go skiing, snowboarding or tubing at Snowmass; have fun dog sledding; enjoy a fun après-ski after a day on the slopes and cozy up with some wine with your best friends! In addition, for a fun night out, be sure to check out Escobar’s The Space – Aspen’s premier dance club!
