For Wellness Seekers: Colorado Springs, CO

If your dream bachelorette or bachelor weekend involves scenic treks and spa treatments over hangovers, Colorado Springs has you covered. Tucked at the base of Pikes Peak, just 20 minutes from its own regional airport (or an easy 90-minute drive from Denver), this wellness‑centric city combines postcard‑worthy landscapes — think towering red‑rock canyons, hiking trails, and sweeping mountain vistas — with a surprisingly elevated self‑care scene (see what we did there?). Toast the happy couple with fresh-pressed juice after hiking the otherworldly red rock formations at Garden of the Gods on a guided walking tour, and soothe sore muscles with a steam in the himalayan salt room or sauna.

Where to stay

Just a mile from its namesake park, the gorgeous Garden of the Gods Resort and Club pairs panoramic red rock views with luxe rooms, wellness programming, and a serene spa for treatments and lounging in style (and serenity). Spend the morning on the yoga lawn, cheers with mimosas on the terrace, or book a group meditation with singing bowls before a celebratory dinner overlooking the Rockies.

For Nature Lovers: Lake Arrowhead, CA

Roughly two hours from Los Angeles, Lake Arrowhead feels more like a true mountain escape than a casual weekend road trip. Tucked into the San Bernardino Mountains, it’s a quieter, less scene-y alternative to Big Bear — perfect for bachelor or bachelorette groups craving fresh air, easygoing adventure, and actual downtime. Paddle across the lake at sunrise, hit the pine-scented hiking trails in the afternoon, or rent bikes and explore hidden forest paths. You can even book a group fishing charter or take a dip in the alpine-fed waters — nature’s version of a cold plunge. Come evening, the vibe shifts to cozy: cabin cocktails, fireside games, and absolutely no pressure to dress up or go out.

Where to stay

For rustic-chic comfort right on the water, look no further than Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa, which boasts lodge-style rooms, sweeping lake views, and a full-service spa perfect for post-hike massages. Go stargazing, explore the water on a 45 minute guided kayaking tour, post up by the private beach reserved exclusively for hotel guests, or enjoy an al fresco soak in one of the hot tubs.

For Beach Bums: Bermuda

Just a quick flight from East Coast hubs — just about two hours from New York — Bermuda might actually be closer than a weekend in the Hamptons or the Jersey Shore (and you won’t spend hours stuck in traffic getting there). With blush-pink sand, turquoise water, and a laid-back, British-Caribbean vibe, this idyllic island is perfect for bachelor or bachelorette groups craving sun sans the spring-break energy. Spend your days snorkeling shipwrecks, biking the scenic Railway Trail, or taking a boat out for a golden-hour cruise, or simply lounging by the beach or pool with a round of rum swizzles. Bonus: There'll be no group texts about who’s driving.

Where to stay

Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa offers not one, but four private beaches, allowing your group to spread out, lounge, and soak up the sun in total peace. Start the evening with tropical spritzes at Breezes, the resort’s open-air bar, where the cocktails flow as easily as the conversation. Then, hit the hotel’s dockside tavern, Sunken Harbor Club for a memorable meal, or make it extra special by arranging a private candle-lit group dinner.

For Wine Lovers: Woodinville, WA

While it’s just 30 miles outside of Seattle, Woodinville feels worlds away from the city’s bustle. Think of it as Washington’s low-key answer to Napa, with all the charm and cuvées, less of the crowds. With more than 130 wineries and tasting rooms spread across four winemaking districts—each with their own distinct personality and style—this low-key wine hub is ideal for a relaxed, celebration-worthy weekend. Walk between pours, pair them with chef-driven plates, and wrap up the day around a fire pit at Fireside Lounge.

Where to stay

Willows Lodge blends rustic-luxe charm with modern comfort—think in-room soaking tubs, cozy fireplaces, and spa treatments that pair perfectly with a post-tasting nap. Just steps from many of Woodinville’s best wineries, it’s the kind of spot where you can sip, stroll, and celebrate without ever needing a designated driver.

For Laid-Back Luxe: Paradise Valley, AZ

Just 5 minutes from Phoenix or 10 minutes from downtown Scottsdale, Paradise Valley seamlessly blends desert serenity with mid-century cool design and sweeping mountain views. This low-key luxury enclave is perfect for bachelor or bachelorette groups looking to celebrate in style, sans the scene. Start the day with a sunrise hike up Camelback Mountain, then unwind with in-room massage treatments, a round of golf, or a leisurely breakfast or lunch on a sun-drenched patio. As the sun sets, settle in for craft cocktails and long desert shadows — the kind of golden-hour glow that makes every toast feel a little extra special.

Where to stay

For groups looking to unwind in style, Mountain Shadows Resort pairs mountain views with midcentury charm and a relaxed, upscale vibe. Lounge by one of twopools with a round of prickly pear margaritas, take a complimentary group aqua aerobics or pilates reformer class, or challenge your crew to a round on the par-3 golf course.
