FTG's Ultimate Girls Trip Guide: Hello Arizona
Throughout our time planning weddings, one of our favorite things has been chatting with our lovely brides when they gush about their unforgettable bachelorette adventures! From fun nights out to serene spa escapes, we’ve heard it all. What always stands out, though, are the themes, the must-do activities, and those “we’ll-laugh-about-this-forever” moments with their best friends.
When it comes to planning a stateside bachelorette or girls trip, Arizona is always high on the list—and for good reason. Whether you're craving relaxation, adventure, or a little bit of both, the Grand Canyon State offers something for every vibe. Think luxury resorts, dreamy desert backdrops, and an incredible food scene. So whether your crew is into hiking, hot tubs, or hot pink matching outfits, Arizona delivers.
Ready to plan an unforgettable escape with your favorite girls? Here are a few of our top recommendations for where to stay, what to do, and the must-have treats to top it all off.
FTG’S Favorite Places to Stay
Where you stay sets the tone for the whole trip, and Arizona does not disappoint. Whether you’re after desert serenity or mid-century modern glam, these spots are perfect for your girls trip:
Enchantment Resort – Sedona
Nestled in the heart of red rock country, Enchantment is ideal for a more tranquil, spa-meets-nature type of trip. Picture waking up to stunning canyon views, indulging in world-class spa treatments at Mii Amo (more on that below), and sipping cocktails under the stars. It’s peaceful, it’s luxe, and it’s totally Instagram-worthy.
Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows
Chic, modern, and just the right amount of playful, Andaz Scottsdale is made for a vibrant bachelorette crew. With bungalow-style rooms, a lively pool scene, and a location close to Old Town Scottsdale, this resort hits all the right notes.
Things To Do
Arizona is the kind of place where you can start your day with a sunrise hike and end it with a sunset massage. Here are a few must-dos to sprinkle into your itinerary:
Mii Amo Spa – Sedona
This world-renowned wellness retreat offers luxe spa treatments in one of the most calming, spiritual settings in the U.S. If your group is looking for relaxation, healing energy, or just some serious self-care, Mii Amo is a must-visit.
Monument Valley
This iconic landscape feels like stepping into a movie (literally—a lot of Westerns were filmed here). Monument Valley is a bit more remote, but if you're up for a scenic road trip, it's an unforgettable experience. Ideal for the adventurous crew who loves epic photo ops.
Grand Canyon
It’s a bucket-list destination for a reason! Whether you opt for a quick day trip or plan a full tour, seeing the Grand Canyon in person is something you and your girls will never forget. Pro tip: sunrise and sunset views are absolutely magical.
A Little Treat
Swig – Dirty Sodas Galore!
No girls trip is complete without a fun little treat run, and Swig is just the spot! This Utah-based chain has made its way into Arizona and brought its cult-favorite dirty sodas with it. Think soda + flavor shots + creams = highly addictive. It's the perfect pick-me-up between spa sessions and shopping.
A Few Extra Tips
Outfit Themes: Arizona’s backdrop is stunning, so don’t forget your coordinated outfits for that sunset photoshoot!
Hydration is key – It’s the desert, after all. Always keep water (and sunscreen!) on hand.
Mix It Up: Combine poolside lounging with at least one adventure—whether it’s a hike in Sedona or a jeep tour through the desert.
