You’re looking at the calendar and you know the BIG 4-0 is lurking around the corner. Maybe for you, your sister, your besties. What are you going to do? Hide and pretend it’s not happening, or embrace and celebrate this next decade of your lives? We vote for that latter. Be 40! Be fabulous!
There are so many great “Girls Get Away Now” mini vacations to choose from. A few of our picks are easy to get to and easy to plan. You just need to decide which is right for you and your posse.
Perhaps you want to shop until you drop, see Broadway shows and dine at some great hot spots. Celebrating 40 in The Big Apple is definitely for you. Closer to home but without the shows? Charleston of course.
Some girls may not want to be on the go all day. This bunch would rather lounge all day and party all night, so Las Vegas or South Beach are great choices for you. For those girls that love fitness, hiking or yoga, but also want relaxation and rejuvination, Canyon Ranch Spa should be your top pick.
For something a bit more exotic, Mann Travels suggests a 40th Birthday Girls Getaway to the white sand beaches of the Riviera Maya or Punta Cana in the Caribbean.
Caribbean
In the Riviera Maya, the adults Secrets Resorts & Spas Capri Riviera is a great option. This striking all-inclusive resort for adults was designed in the style of opulent Spanish mansions and Mexican haciendas. Located in the heart of the Mexican Riviera, this romantic hideaway for couples and singles features spacious guestrooms and suites with views of the water and plenty of options for relaxation. You’ll be surrounded by extraordinary splendor, with acres of lush tropical grounds and more than 1,000 feet of powdery white sand. Relax your cares away in the world-class spa with spa garden.

If you want to step it up a notch on the Riviera Maya and go to a 5 star resort, head to the Royal Playa Del Carmen. This resort is also conveniently located right next to 5th Avenue. The clear blue sea and the white sand beach run parallel to the shopping avenue. There are an abundance of vibrant cafes, restaurants, souvenir shops and a few specialty shops. There are even couple of bars where you can quench your thirst with a dos XX, Corona, or a margarita…when in Rome… And if your girls are seeking a bit more of a livelier night life, Cancun is not too far away.

Punta Cana is a bit more tranquil in setting and a true R&R destination. Paradisus Punta Cana is a Mann Travels recommendation, where you can experience the many pleasures of Unlimited-Luxury®, with most everything is included. Every gourmet meal, every fine wine and cocktail, every daytime activity and nighttime adventure. Plus, of course, your elegant suite with 24/7 room service.

Or amp it up and stay at the Hard Rock Punta Cana in the adults-only sections. This property is most definitely for the livelier bunch who like gambling, fantastic nightlife and crazy culinary options. Of course all you find here will be infused with their famous rock and roll vibe.

The white sand beaches of the Riviera Maya, and Punta Cana in the Caribbean are at the top of the “HOT Places To Go†list. Beautiful all-inclusive properties are cost-effective and just so easy. One phone call, one booking and you’re on your way. These resorts have it all. Gourmet meals, swim up bars, fruity umbrella drinks, wine – yes wine!, tranquil beaches, spas (usually extra $$ for services though) and elegant accommodations.
You want to know the best part? No, it’s not just the endless food and alcohol, it’s the no children rule. Children are not allowed at these adult only destinations. We do all love them, but even mommies need a break to be better mommies.
