Bachelorette vacations are the hottest bridal trend. Here, four fun ways for you and your friends to have a fabulous girls' getaway.

Walk into The Borgata hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on a Saturday night, and you’ll see right away how big the traveling bachelorette party phenomenon has become. Everywhere you look, women are moving about in groups, led by one decked out in a veil and, often, a boa. They’re primping in the spa, they’re in line for the nightclub and they’re trying their luck at the slots.

And it’s not just casinos to which brides-to-be are flocking—cities, beaches and spas are popular, too. In fact, hotels everywhere are now catering to groups of women by creating packages, largely offered year-round, that include rooms with two double beds, so bridesmaids can double up and save money, and fun extras like drinks and movies. Have a dream spot in mind? Call a few hotels to look for package deals, or let these trips inspire you.

1. Urban Escape

Hot bars, great restaurants, fabulous shopping…you get the picture. Cities make great destinations because they offer so much to do. They’re also easily accessible by air and car—a bonus if your pals are scattered across the country.

Check It Out: The Ritz-Carlton Chicago’s “Girls Will Be Girls” package includes makeup applications at nearby Saks Fifth Avenue, Cosmopolitans at the hotel bar, and popcorn and a movie rental back in the room. Think of it as your last slumber party before you get married—and don’t forget the Mad Libs! For more information visit ritzcarlton.com.

2. Spa Seduction

With all the yoga and fresh-fruit drinks, health-conscious women find spa vacations restful. Plus, aerobics classes and steam-room sessions provide great opportunities for bonding.

Check It Out: Tempted by the clear waters of The Bahamas? The Westin Our Lucaya’s “Girls’ Getaway” package includes three nights of accommodations, a daily spa treatment and unlimited fitness classes for each person. Best of all, everyone gets to take a swim with dolphins! For more information visit ourlucaya.com.

3. Fun in the Sun

From lounging on the beach by day to clinking frozen drinks at a waterfront bar under the stars, spending a warm, sunny holiday with your buddies is a fantastic way to celebrate—and get a healthy glow for the big day.

Check It Out: The Hotel Oceana Santa Monica’s “Bachelorette Party” package includes a one-night stay in a double room—and each room comes with a convertible, for driving around L.A. in style. The package also includes VIP treatment at the nightclub of your choice, so you can dance until the sun comes up! For more information visit oceanahotelgroup.com.

4. Casino Glam

Play poker and make mischief in one of America’s gaming towns (think Las Vegas, Atlantic City, New Orleans or Biloxi). Pack your sexiest outfits and your highest heels—and get ready for some round-the-clock fun.

Check It Out: At Las Vegas’ swank Bellagio hotel, the “Bachelorette Party” package includes dinner at Fix, the resort’s American restaurant (think smoked salmon “poppers” and sea bass in lobster sauce), drinks at the Caramel Bar and VIP access to Light, the hotel’s trendy nightclub, where your names will be on the guest list.
