But whether it\u2019s a quick weekend away or a week-long blowout in the tropics, there\u2019s nothing better than a holiday with your best girlfriends. Here are 18 reasons to lock yours in.<\/p>\n<p>1. The fun starts before you leave home. The wild plans, the excited group chats, the ever-growing list of things to eat, drink, see, and do. Not a lot of things are fun to organise, but holidays \u2013 especially with friends \u2013 sure are.<\/p>\n<p>2. You\u2019ll laugh so hard your sides ache and your face is sore for days.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16457 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-www-wotif-com\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/-17\" alt=\"4 young women sitting at a swim up poolbar\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<p>3. All the late-night deep-and-meaningfuls you just don\u2019t have time for in real life. You\u2019ll get into all of life\u2019s highs and lows, safe in the knowledge that it\u2019s getting locked in the vault.<\/p>\n<p>4. Friends let friends take naps, especially on holiday. Poolside naps. After-lunch naps. Pre-dinner naps.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16430 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-www-wotif-com\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/-4\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<p>5. Holiday snaps! You\u2019ll take hundreds of pics with people you know would never post a bad photo of you.<\/p>\n<p>6. Call it self-care or reconnecting if you want, but holidays with friends are basically just grown-up slumber parties. Staying up all night with your girls, chatting and laughing \u2013 you\u2019ll feel like a kid again.<\/p>\n<p>7. Group spa days. Feel fancy and \u2728 relaxed \u2728 together<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16450 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-www-wotif-com\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/-14\" alt=\"3 mature women in robes with a glass of wine, relaxing by the pool\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<p>8. But also wine and chocolate. \u2018Cause time with friends isn\u2019t all clean living \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>9. Brunch is the most important meal of the day, every day. And with your whole friend crew in attendance, you\u2019ll have plenty of people to share dishes with. That means you can have savoury AND sweet \ud83d\ude0b<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16432 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-www-wotif-com\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/-6\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<p>10. You don\u2019t have to go far to have an amazing time. When you\u2019re with your friends, just two nights in a luxe stay in your own city can feel like a total escape.<\/p>\n<p>11. Getting ready together. Remember when this was the best part of going out? You\u2019d all go to someone\u2019s house and have drinks while you mucked around with your hair, mused over accessories, and spilled all the tea. Well, when you holiday together, those nights are back with a vengeance!<\/p>\n<p>12. Poolside relaxation. Lying next to each other for three hours without exchanging a single word. That\u2019s togetherness.<\/p>\n<p>13. Learning to love You as much as your friends do. Your girls know you\u2019re awesome \u2013 and they\u2019re not going to let you forget it.<\/p>\n<p>14. You won\u2019t need to buy anyone gifts, \u2018cause all your favourite people will already be there with you \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16454 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-www-wotif-com\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/2024\/06\/-16\" alt=\"3 women walking along the beach\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<p>15. Your ride-or-die would never question or judge your need to souvenir all the toiletries. If anything, they\u2019ll look for extras you\u2019ve missed.<\/p>\n<p>16. Travelling in a group means there\u2019s usually at least one person who\u2019s keen to do the same thing as you, no matter how niche. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wotif.com\/things-to-do\/gold-coast-indoor-skydiving-experience.a4533441.activity-detail\">Indoor skydiving<\/a>, anyone?<\/p>\n<p>17. Dessert after EVERY meal. Even if you\u2019re feeling full, \u2018cause you\u2019ve always got someone to share with.<\/p>\n<p>18. IT\u2019S A HOLIDAY! Whatever your real life looks like, you\u2019ll leave it all behind when you\u2019re kicking back with your friends.<\/p>\n<p>Are you overdue for a girls\u2019 trip? Get that group chat happening!
