For The (Coachella) Valley Girls

This Galentine’s Day, grab the girls and head to Miramonte Indian Wells Resort & Spa: a desert oasis in the heart of Coachella Valley.

Pack your weekend tote and selfie sticks and head 80 miles east of Seattle to Suncadia Resort on the sunny side of the Cascade Mountains, a perfect locale to celebrate Galentine’s Day on February 13th. Cozy up with spiked hot chocolate and your best ladies at one of the many fire places or fire pits located throughout the property where you can roast marshmallows al fresco. Stay at the adults-only 18 room Inn for some grown-up fun or rent one of the large luxury homes and live it up like a local, both offer direct access to the more than 40 miles of exploratory trails that surround this sprawling property.
Las Lagunas Boutique Hotel
For Queens of the Jungle
Destination: Peten, Guatemala
Picture this… you and your girlfriends indulging in an eco-luxury retreat in the magnificent jungle of Peten, Guatemala. Just a short drive away from the magnificent Tikal, Uaxactún and Yaxhá ruins, check one off the bucket list at Las Lagunas Boutique Hotel, where a girl’s getaway will start off settling into one of the hotel’s 19 bungalow luxury suites, each boasting a private balcony with a large jacuzzi to dip in as a welcome celebration — delicious wine or crafted cocktails in hand. The next morning, embark on a boat ride to Monkey Island where you’ll come face-to-face with wild (yet friendly) spider monkeys, or hike the top of the lesser known Yaxhá ruins to catch the most incredible sunset you’ve ever seen offering an experience of a lifetime for all to enjoy.
Tabacon Thermal Resort & Spa
For Thermal Spa Seekers
Destination: La Fortuna, Costa Rica
This Galentine’s Day, opt for an off-the-grid escape with the girls at Tabacon Thermal Resort & Spa — a tropical paradise spread across 900 acres of lush rainforest near the base of Costa Rica’s Arenal Volcano, with hot springs and cascading waterfalls naturally heated by the volcano’s magma. After soaking in the award-winning thermal springs, grab the girls and venture off-property for a group experience horseback riding through Arenal Volcano National Park or embark on a Chocolate Rainforest Tour and discover the ancient secrets of the cacao tree and its importance to Costa Rican culture.
For The Glamour Girls
Destination: Fort Lauderdale, Florida
For a glamorous Galentines getaway with the girls, W Fort Lauderdale hotel has the essentials for the ultimate bash following a $55 million renovation last year. Free daily butt-busting beach bootcamp & sunrise yoga let the girls stay on their fitness regime, but must be followed by homemade Poptarts at onsite Stephen Starr restaurant, Steak 954 (also great for dinner – raw bar, short ribs, steaks & sides of all kinds, and photos with the resident 100+ purple jellyfish). VIP pool cabanas by the rooftop WET Deck are the must-do day activity, while carefully crafted cocktails in the Living Room start the night off right.
