A girls weekend away
We sometimes just need a weekend away with girls no guys just lots of gossip, shopping, drinking and dancing the night away…
So where are the best places for some great girly fun..
Here are some choices from a few of the places I have been with my gang of girls..
London..
London has everything you need for a truly amazing experience some of the best nightclubs in the country , hit the fabulous streets of London for some great shopping opportunities such as Oxford and Regent Street and of course plenty of hot men to tempt you on your weekend break. Soak up some culture with a visit to the London Eye here you can admire the wonderful sites of London or relax on a Thames river cruise where you can casually see the sites of London whilst enjoying a glass of wine or town. London has some of the best nightclubs in the country why not head to the super cool and super glamorous Pacha Nightclub for some great music and a great atmosphere. After partying the night away you may want to relax and rejuvenate before heading back to work on Monday so why not take a visit to the Elemis Day Spa where you can indulge in one of the many de stress treatments available why not try a hot stone facial or a well being massage what better way to spend the afternoon.
New York City..
Why not do it in true Sex in the City style and visit the city that never sleeps.. Flight times from the UK are around 5 hours and a weekend here is certainly one for the ladies.
For some great shopping you really must take a trip to Bloomingdale’s one of the best places in New York where you will be able to get some great bargains and plenty of good clothes another great place that is full of good bargains is the Chelsea Market which is located on the Ninth Avenue. For some exclusive shopping then visit Fifth Avenue there’s nothing like maxing out your credit card with your favourite friends. For some first class pampering then head to one of the finest health places in New York the Eden Spa here you can have any kind of massage that you want and relax in style. In the evening you can hit the town and there are thousands of bars to choose from who not try the 55 Bar which is on Christopher Street here a group of girls can enjoy a great evening whilst gossiping in style. If its something a bit more lively that you are after then why not try the famous Karaoke Bar known as Karaoke One located on West 17th Street why not get up and give the song of a lifetime !! After all the singing and dancing what better way to spend the day with a horse carriage ride around Central Park or why not book yourself a place on one of the Sex in the City Tour a perfect way to finish a girly weekend away..
Barcelona
Why not visit the beautiful city of Barcelona with its amazing Gothic architecture and beautiful streets… Take a walk along the lively streets of Las Ramblas before making your way to the wonderful beach of Barcelona which is lined with great beach bars where you can enjoy a large jug of Sangria whilst watching the guys play volleyball on the beach. Head to the Spa at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel which caters for day visitors and relax with their wonderful heat and water therapies and and have a soak in the
beautifully designed 12 metre vitality pool. Barcelona has a great nightlife scene however do remember that the Spanish like to eat late and party late and don’t be surprised if the clubs don’t get busy until around 02:00am why not try the Razzmatazz nightclub which is 5 clubs under one roof here you will find everything from disco to trance and punk..
Ibiza
If its just fun and partying you want then why not try a weekend away in the beautiful Isle of Ibiza.. Flights are reasonable cheap to the Island and here you an sit back and chill out on the beach at Cafe del Mar and watch the sun set and then party away all day and night in one of the major clubs such as Amnesia or Pacha there is a huge choice of clubs and you will be spoilt for choice. After a wild night out why not relax on the beach whilst sipping a cocktail. Ibiza also has some fantastic shops and night shopping in the Old Town of Ibiza should not be missed and if your lucky enough to be there when the hippie markets are on then you will find plenty of bargains..
Swansea
Many people head to Swansea for a great weekend away.. Here you have everything located in on place.. Swansea may be a City but its a very small city and you can drive the length of it in about 10 minutes…Swansea has some great shops and head to the Mumbles where you can get great local products as well as lots of surfy style clothes.. If its pampering you are after then you can visit the Towers Hotel and Spa. Here you can enjoy a great range of treatments and take advantage of the Jacuzzi and swimming pool. Do take a walk along the beach whilst enjoying a bag of fish and chips before heading out for the evening. Start your evening in the Morgans Hotel in Swansea Marina the boutiques hotel in Swansea .
