A Perfect Girls’ Getaway in Carlsbad, California
By. Shelly Harris
Once a year, I host a retreat where I invite all of my closest girlfriends to take a break from our busy schedules and come reconnect with each other for a few days as we enjoy a little relaxation and a whole lot of fun at one of our beautiful resorts.
With its coastal beauty and laid back atmosphere, Carlsbad is the perfect place for a well-deserved “empty nester” girls’ trip, with multiple Grand Pacific Resorts properties to choose from located there. Whether we’re out on the town or kicking back at the resort, there’s so much to do in this beautiful beach destination.
Here are my top favorite activities while on a girls’ getaway in Carlsbad:
Enjoy the Beautiful Beaches:
Carlsbad has a pristine coastline that stretches for miles where we love to take strolls on the sand as we soak up the sun and enjoy the gentle ocean breezes. We also like to rent bikes and cruise along the boardwalk.
Relax with a Spa Day:
Who doesn’t love a rejuvenating day at the spa? Carlsbad has many luxurious spas that offer soothing massages, facials, and therapeutic treatments. You can also have a fun DIY spa day in your condo!
Indulge in Retail Therapy:
Shop ‘til you drop at The Carlsbad Premium Outlets, with over 90 designer stores featuring brands like Coach, Michael Kors, and Kate Spade where you can find the perfect additions to your wardrobe or gifts for loved ones.
Discover Carlsbad’s Cultural Gems:
Carlsbad has tons of interesting local museums, art galleries, and antique shops to explore. You can also enjoy live performances like plays, musicals, and concerts at the Carlsbad Village Theatre.
Delight Your Taste Buds:
Carlsbad’s dining scene offers delicious cuisine like farm-to-table and fresh seafood. During a girls’ getaway, everyone brings a dish or bottle of wine to share. I also like to invite a private chef to come cook for us right in our condo’s full kitchen!
Kickback at the Resort:
Sometimes it’s nice to just hang out at the beautiful resort and enjoy all of its amazing amenities from the incredible pool area, to hosted arts and crafts, to fun happy hours where you’re sure to make lifelong memories with your favorite girlfriends.
Carlsbad, California provides an exceptional girls’ getaway experience. With its beautiful beaches, luxurious spas, and diverse dining options, this charming coastal town has everything you need to create lasting memories with your favorite gal pals.
