When done right, a girls trip can be transformative. For each individual as well as the group dynamic. One thing to get right when planning a girlie getaway is the hotel. In fact, we steadfastly believe that picking the right hotel is half the battle won.
These five hotels – The Lana Dorai Dubai, Joali Being Maldives, MO Tokyo, Raffles Doha, and Plaza Athénée Paris – are the crème de la creme of girlie getaway hotels: decadence dialed to 11, with design that dazzles and service that spoils.
The Lana Dubai – The sultana’s playground
Perched above Marasi Bay Marina, The Lana offers 225 spacious rooms and suites, the UAE’s first Dior Spa (they have the softest pillows, btw), an infinity rooftop pool with skyline views, and eight restaurants serving global and regional cuisines.
Seamless service, curated city experiences, and wellness offerings make it girlie getaway unlike any other. Go here if you want a Dubai stay that balances city buzz with personal pampering. Think skyline selfies from sky-high terraces, shopping sprees via chauffeured Bentleys to the Dubai Mall.
JOALI BEING Maldives: The joy of living well
Overwater bliss meets biohacking at JOALI BEING on Raa Atoll – Maldives reimagined for girl gangs craving kale smoothies and kinetic sand playlists. Custom “Being” journeys blend cryotherapy with coconut scrubs; rooftop yoga flows into private sandbank picnics. Laugh over lobster beach BBQs, then debrief life post marine biologist accompanied snorkels. It’s wellness that isn’t preachy, but leaves its mark in the form of radiant skin, stronger bonds, and turquoise horizons that make every other group chat jealous.

Mandarin Oriental Tokyo: Neon nightlife
High above Nihonbashi, Mandarin Oriental Tokyo makes the city’s vastness feel gracious. Rooms and suites are calm, and offer views across Tokyo’s shifting skyline. Dining spans seasonal sushi to pizza (Hello, The Pizza Bar on 38th!) Steps from Ginza and minutes from museums, markets, and temples, the hotel also connects directly to the Tokyo Metro.For the ultimate girlie getaway, Mandarin Oriental Tokyo delivers one of our favorite cities electric energy in a boutique package – bold, bubbly, and brilliantly unfiltered.
Raffles Doha: Qatari Queen Vibes
In the new seaside city of Lusail, the Katara Towers rise like crossed swords, Qatar’s national emblem made real in steel and glass. Inside one crescent-shaped tower, Raffles Doha comes with spectacular design and impeccable taste, offering all-suite rooms, six signature restaurants, a rooftop bar, a holistic spa, and a fantastic library with rare first-edition books. Dramatic lobbies, curated art, and world-class service turn every corner into a discovery. Go here if you appreciate design, flawless service, and a stay that makes Doha unforgettable.
Plaza Athénée Paris: Haute Couture Hideaway
Paris’s Plaza Athénée on Avenue Montaigne is girl getaway catnip – Eiffel Tower twinkles from Dior-pink balconies, with Michelin-starred menus for endless toasts. Haute couture fittings at nearby ateliers; private Seine cruises with champagne sabering. Spa Dior pampers post-shopping hauls; afternoons dissolve into patisserie crawls and Louvre whispers. For best friends, it’s the eternal city of lights at its most indulgent – chic, champagne-drenched, and conspiratorially fabulous.
