There is no better place for a party day-and-night than South Beach in Miami, where good looking people abound at ever turn. If you’re looking for pleasant sights for the eyes, hit up South Beach or book a stay at the Standard Hotel (www.standardhotels.com) for a killer pool scene, not to mention a co-ed hammam or open-air mud lounge.

If you’re looking for something a little more thrilling than your average spa getaway, then look to the island of Kauai in Hawaii for the ultimate adventure girl’s getaway. Learn how to surf, fly through sharp cliffs and canyons on a helicopter, zip line through tropical forests, go horseback riding, try your hand at ATVing, and way, way more.

#6. Escape to Nature
Get in touch with Mother Earth and head to the Canadian Rockies in Alberta for a way to really get in touch with nature for some skiing, camping, hiking, ice or rock climbing, caving, horse back riding, canoeing, and etc. When you’re among the towering mountains of Banff, life seems to make more sense. If you’re not ready to rough it out, companies like Classic Journeys (www.classicjourneys.com) offers luxury camping accommodations, known as “glamorous camping” or “glamping.”
#7. Ultimate Self-Discovery
What better way to discover yourself than to do it confidently and in the nude? From Mexico’s Temptations Resorts to Jamaica’s Hedonism Resorts and Mardi Gras in New Orleans, there are tons of places to go nude or topless. Read up on our list of the Top 10 Places to Get Naked on Vacation (in photos).
#8. Exotic Beach Escape
Take off like Bridget Jones to Thailand for the ultimate girl’s beach getaway to exotic Phuket or Krabi. Sip cocktails while you relax on pristine white beaches with the girls and look out into clear blue waters that stretch for eternity beyond towering limestone cliffs.
#9. Wellness Getaway
There’s spa pampering and then there’s wellness getaways that focus on more than just on your body, but also your mind and spirit. One of the hottest wellness destinations today is Scottsdale, Arizona, where the Sanctuary Spa at the Sanctuary Camelback Mountain (www.sanctuaryoncamelback.com) offers eastern therapies to bring you to a new kind of Zen.

#10. Culinary
Just like Elizabeth Gilbert in Eat, Pray, Love, if you’re looking for somewhere to eat, then head to Italy for a fantastic culinary girl’s getaway. Hunt for Rome’s best gelato or Naples’ best pizza while downing local Italian wine in street-side eateries or country restaurants.
