For many brides today, the perfect bachelorette party means going away for the weekend. Picking the right destination for a group of women can be a bit overwhelming, especially if you want to do something a little out of the ordinary. When most people think of bachelorette party getaways, they picture the flashing lights of Las Vegas or the nonstop clubbing scene in Miami Beach. Both are great, of course, but what if you want your weekend to be about more just drinking and partying?

Planning a bachelorette party around something more relaxed might require a bit more effort, ironically, but in the end, it will be worth it. Below are a few bachelorette party destinations that are ideal for the bride who doesn’t want to spend the entire weekend drinking.

This desert town in Arizona is quickly becoming more of a popular bachelorette destination thanks to the gorgeous views and the beautiful spas that are all over. Brides who love to be outdoors will especially love this location, as there’s plenty of exploring to be done. You can plan a weekend where you can spend one-day hiking and another day hanging out at a spa (Mii Amo has a great reputation with plenty of options). If you want to make things really unique, go on a hot air balloon ride to really see some gorgeous views.

Go glamping at Ithaca Firelight Camps in New York.

If you want a more rustic, chill weekend that isn’t totally void of luxury, head to Ithaca Firelight Camps in New York for a truly awesome glamping experience. The platform tents have king or queen sized beds, hardwood floors, furniture, and private balconies, so it definitely isn’t your typical camping experience.

The campgrounds offer locally-sourced food at fantastic restaurants, and they’re close to beautiful hiking trails and waterfalls. At night, sit by the campfire and make s’mores.

If you’re a bride who wants to be able to hang out at some chill bars without doing anything too crazy, Savannah could be perfect for you. You can stay in a beautiful old home, admire the trees (which really are that beautiful in person), shop, take a drive out to one of the beaches, and do something like a ghost tour, which offers historical fun.

At night, the downtown area comes alive with a bar scene that is a lot of fun without being too over-the-top.
