A trip with your girlfriends or your guy friends tends to want different things from a resort than a mixed group — here’s where each works well.

Best Girls’ Trip: Excellence or Secrets

Excellence and Secrets properties offer swim-up suites, strong spa facilities and reservation-free dining — genuinely good fits for a girls’ trip built around pool days, cocktails and a nice dinner rotation.

Best Guys’ Trip: Los Cabos Golf

Los Cabos’ championship golf courses and lively nightlife make it a strong pick for a guys’ trip built around a mix of golf, beach time and going out.

Best for Either Group: Punta Cana Villas

A private villa in Punta Cana works well for either group, offering more space and privacy than a standard resort room block, plus easy access to beach clubs.

How to Choose

Consider whether your group wants a relaxed pool-and-spa pace or something more activity-driven, and whether a resort or a villa rental better fits your group size and budget.
