Galentine’s Day Getaways: 10 Destinations Made for Besties

Galentine’s Day is the friendship holiday that deserves a real itinerary. Celebrated on February 13, it was popularized by Parks and Recreation and has become an excuse to book the girls’ trip you have been talking about for months.

Whether your crew wants spa robes, rooftop cocktails, cute cafés, or a full send weekend, these destinations deliver.

Charleston, South Carolina

Charleston is peak bestie energy with its charming historic district, standout restaurants, and dreamy walking routes that make every outfit feel like it belongs.

Come for Lowcountry cuisine, waterfront views, and boutique shopping that turns into “just one more stop.”

Sedona, Arizona

Sedona is the move when your group wants a reset. Think sunrise hikes, spa treatments, and wellness vibes, surrounded by red rock scenery that makes your camera roll look edited, even when it isn’t.

New York City, New York

New York is the Galentine’s Day playground for friends who want options. You can go full glam with Broadway, rooftop drinks, and fancy dinners, or keep it cozy with museums, cafés, and a shopping day that turns into a shopping weekend.

Napa Valley, California

For the “we deserve this” trip, Napa wins. It is equal parts wine tasting, spa time, and farm-to-table meals, all set against vineyard views that make slowing down feel like the whole point.

Bonus if you visit during the Napa Lighted Art Festival, which runs January 17 to February 15, 2026, with illuminated art installations across downtown.
