Glam with the Girls: Best Places for a Beauty Girls Trip
There’s something magical about packing your bags, rounding up your favorite girls, and chasing beauty and bliss in a new city. But this isn’t your average girls’ trip—it’s a glam girls’ trip getaway.
Think sheet masks in silk robes, makeup runs in new zip codes, golden hour photo shoots, and spa days that feel like they were made for your Instagram Stories. I’m talking about a getaway that feels like a Tarte brand trip—minus the influencer contract (but with all the vibes). This isn’t just a weekend away; it’s a curated experience for beauty and lifestyle lovers who live for a moment of main-character energy.
Imagine waking up to room service lattes, lining your vanity with new product finds from local beauty boutiques, and spending the afternoon hopping from dreamy brunch spots to spa lounges with your girls—glowing, laughing, and posting along the way. A beauty girls trip is more than travel—it’s an aesthetic, a vibe, and a memory-making moment with your favorite people.
That’s why I put this guide together, because you deserve more than just another basic beach weekend.
Think about it — traveling with family is always fun, but let’s be real, it can get a little hectic. You’re juggling everyone’s wishes and while that’s great for family bonding, sometimes it’s just not your vibe. If you’ve got the means, why not plan a trip that’s all about you and your girls? A getaway where you can truly tap into your femininity, embrace that girlhood energy, and recharge with your best friends. This is about creating a space to focus on what you want—laughing, pampering, and living in the moment without any distractions.
This is for the girls who live for a good skincare routine, always have lip gloss in their bag, and treat brunch like a full-on event. The ones who love a good photo op but are really in it for the memories, the laughs, and the chance to reset with their crew. If a little glam, a little self-care, and a lot of fun are your kind of travel essentials, this one's for you.
Think of it as another perfect way to romanticize your life and feel like you’re living in a movie. It’s like The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants meets Sex and the City. It’s about stepping into the kind of story where you’re the main character, living your best life, creating memories with your ride-or-die crew, and soaking up every moment like it's straight out of a scene.
So if your group chat is long overdue for a getaway, consider this your glam-packed guide to planning the kind of trip that feels just as fun, freeing, and unforgettable as it looks on your camera roll.

From coastal escapes to culture-rich cities, these are the spots that deserve a top spot on your travel mood board.
The Amalfi Coast, Italy
It’s hard to beat the quiet luxury of the Amalfi Coast. With its terraced cliffs, turquoise water, and long, slow days, it’s the perfect place to unwind and recharge. Stroll through Positano in breezy neutrals, spend your afternoons over fresh pasta and spritzes, and browse local markets for handmade skincare and fragrance. It's less about doing everything and more about doing exactly what feels good—with a view.
Paris, France
Paris needs no introduction. It’s the epitome of effortless chic, and the beauty scene here is just as iconic. From the high-end boutiques of Champs-Élysées to the charming perfumeries hidden in Le Marais, Paris is brimming with iconic beauty finds. Stroll through the Jardin des Tuileries, grab a fresh croissant, and head to your favorite skincare store for a little shopping spree. Whether you're indulging in a facial at a luxe spa or simply enjoying the art of people-watching in a cozy café, Paris will make you feel like your most chic, sophisticated self.
Tulum, Mexico
Tulum offers that perfect mix of bohemian charm and beachfront luxury.

Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona is the perfect mix of culture, art, and laid-back beauty. The city’s vibrant energy pairs perfectly with its stunning visuals— just picture yourself Cheetah Girls style. Spend your mornings exploring stylish boutiques and sipping cortados at sunny sidewalk cafés, then unwind with a rooftop spa treatment or a stroll along Barceloneta Beach. Barcelona’s beauty scene leans toward effortless, glowing skin and fresh Mediterranean style—think lightweight skincare, natural ingredients, and just the right touch of glam.
Ibiza, Spain
Ibiza is where you go to let loose, glam up, and party ‘til sunrise (responsibly, of course.) It’s the ultimate destination for girls who want it all: luxury beach clubs, world-renowned DJs, and the kind of sunset views that deserve their own mood board. But beyond the nightlife, Ibiza offers moments of calm and beauty too—think boho spas, coastal yoga sessions, and clean beauty boutiques tucked into whitewashed villages. Whether you're dancing under the stars or sipping cocktails by the sea, Ibiza is about embracing your bold side without compromising your glow.
Each of these spots brings something different to the table. Whether it's the slow, sunkissed mornings, the local beauty rituals, or the kind of nights you’ll be talking about for years. What makes these places special isn’t just the location—it’s the energy they bring out of you and your friends. It's about discovering somewhere new while feeling totally at ease in your own skin. Wherever you land, let it be a place that reminds you how good it feels to take up space, have fun, and live a little louder. Make sure you add these places to your bucket list!
