Planning the Perfect Bachelorette Party in Austin

It’s no wonder Austin, Texas is a hotspot for bachelorette parties these days. This city explodes with culture and really offers a bit of everything: a great bar scene, plenty of live music, and tons of outdoor exploration. It can be overwhelming to plan a bachelorette party, especially for a large group with different interests. We’ve put together all the things we love about this city to help make planning a bachelorette party in Austin a little easier, and hopefully even make it fun.

Where to Stay

No area of Austin lacks character, which is to say you really can’t go wrong when choosing a neighborhood for your bachelorette weekend. You may want to consider renting a house if your party is large. From lakeside mansions to in-town bungalows, Austin has all kinds of homes and villas for rent that offer plenty of amenities for your group to spread out and enjoy the weekend. For smaller parties, we’d recommend a fun hotel walkable to bars, restaurants, and shopping.

South Congress Street offers hip boutiques, ample live music, and a great view of the Texas State Capitol. The South Congress Hotel is a favorite of locals and visitors alike, featuring a rooftop pool, multiple restaurants onsite, as well as a juice and coffee shop. Hotel Ella also resides nearby. An Austin icon, Hotel Ella is named for a historic Texas socialite, Ella Wooten, who lived in the mansion in the 1800s. Today, Hotel Ella is the perfect mix of old charm wraparound verandas and new comfort courtyard pools.

If downtown is more your scene, we love the Proper Hotel for a bachelorette party in Austin. It’s a bit of east coast chic with southwest inspiration, complete with signature dining experiences, multiple cocktail bars, a fifth-floor pool and just 24 guest suites for a boutique hotel experience. You also can’t miss the Fairmont Austin, stretching 37 stories into the sky. Located near popular Rainey Street, the Fairmont offers total luxury with classic Texas vibes for you and your party.

What to Do

The weather stays rather mild all year, but summer months reach temperatures in the 90’s. To beat the heat, grab a towel and head to Lake Travis. Consider chartering a party pontoon or yacht for up to 20 people (some with top decks and water slides!) and a driver to ensure your party stays safe on the water. Your group could also pack a cooler and swim all day at one of Austin’s many natural pools, like Barton Springs or Deep Eddy. There’s also the Lonestar Riverboat for daytime or sunset cruises.

Live music is rampant in Austin. Swing by Antone’s or the legendary Continental Club to watch local performers do what they do best: entertain! Austin also offers many live music pub crawls, pedal bars and walking tours if that suits your group. We’d also recommend shopping on Music Lane for vintage stores and unique boutiques.

Where to Eat & Drink

You can’t celebrate all weekend without the perfect food and drink lineup. To start the day, grab coffee from Revival, a locally owned shop where everything is pink. Then, don’t miss your reservation for brunch at Irene’s! Irene’s is a classic Austin spot that offers a special package for bachelorette parties, including a reserved table, popcorn, jello shots and dessert for less than $20 a person.

After you’ve enjoyed Austin for the day and are ready for something refreshing, have a drink on the roof at 77 Degrees, a three-story patio bar that also offers tapas. If you’re planning on dinner for a big group, we recommend arranging a private room ahead of time. Il Brutto is a neighborhood Italian restaurant with plenty of options for small and large groups, like a private wine bar and large backyard patio. Enjoy their house limoncello and affordable private dining options. Or, if Italian doesn’t hit the spot, head over to Comedor for upscale Mexican food, served family style.

Now that you and your party have fueled up for the night, we recommend starting the party on Rainey Street or West 6th Street. You won’t have any trouble finding lively spots for music, drinks, and dancing. You’ll probably find other bachelorette and bachelor parties, too! To find the best spot for your crew, keep in mind that Rainey Street is known for being a bit more laid back than 6th Street, but a good time can be found anywhere in Austin. Oh, and if late night dancing is your thing, consider Barbarella or The White Horse after 10PM for a true Texas dance hall experience.

Your five-star treatment includes two incredible restaurants on the premises as well as a wine selection from the hotel’s vineyard.

Unique Places to Stay in Costa Rica

Costa Rica is covered in mysterious beauty. Whether you prefer to stay among the trees or down by the ocean, this destination offers endless opportunities to hike through miles of luscious forest, relax by the beach, or spend your days observing wildlife. Whenever you’re ready to head off the grid to an eco-friendly destination, check out our roundup of ten unique places to stay in Costa Rica.

Photo: Zocha Group

─ In The Trees ─

You’ll feel like you’re flying at Hotel Costa Verde’s 727 Fuselage Home. Inside a refurbished 1965 Boeing 727 airframe, you’ll find two bedrooms outfitted in hand-carved furniture from Indonesia and 360-degree views of the ocean and gardens. There’s even a terrace outside the aircraft to get even closer to the Costa Rican jungle.

Photo: Zocha Group

Finca Bellavista Treehouse Community

Finca Bellavista is 600 acres of community-run land. Created by two friends with a dream that came true with the help of the people around them, this land has been salvaged as a place for travelers to enjoy what makes Costa Rica so special. Accommodations are rustic but comfortable, and community living is at the forefront of this venture. Enjoy wifi, yoga, and zipline tours and more at Finca’s basecamp community center, or simply enjoy nature from your own treehouse.

Photo: Zocha Group

La Carolina Lodge

Go off the grid at this lodge designed with your relaxation in mind. La Carolina is buried among lush tropical forests with wide patios to watch the river float by, yoga and massages offered on the premises, and miles and miles of jungle to spend the day exploring on horseback or by foot. La Carolina Lodge is easily one of the most beautiful, relaxing and unique places to stay in Costa Rica.

Art Villas Resort

Five egg-shaped pods have been resurrected in the middle of the Costa Rican jungle for, as Lonely Planet puts it, “brave people who like to feel as if they’re up amongst the trees.” Though they’re also near the ocean, these were designed to have a tree house vibe and make you feel immersed in the environment. There’s a shared pavilion where guests can enjoy massages, a sauna, spa, fitness room and more.

Topos Tree House

You’ll feel totally at peace at Topo’s Tree House. Nestled high up in a rubber tree, this lodging in Cahuita is one-of-a-kind. Enjoy wildlife from one of three spacious decks, make a meal in the fully equipped kitchen, and watch parrots fly by from the outdoor shower. There’s no shortage of photo-worth opportunities up among the trees.

─ By the Water ─

The only hotel in the world made entirely of shipping containers, the El Faro Beach Hotel in Manuel Antonio is one of the most unique places to stay in Costa Rica and beyond. Proof that a little creativity goes a long way, the rooms are modern and airy, offering sunset views that overlook the pool and ocean. El Faro has a spa onsite as well as restaurant, coffee bar, pool bar, guided tours, and 24-hour reception.

Ocho Artisan Bungalows

With seven luxury bungalows and two beachfront villas, Ocho Artisan Bungalows is your key to experiencing the heart of Tamarindo. The surroundings are rugged but your accommodations are comfortable, making this the perfect option for days spent laying on white sand and evenings at the pool bar.

Photo: Zocha Group

Igloo Beach Lodge

Sustainability and luxury go hand in hand at Igloo Beach Lodge. These dome-shaped cabins use 50% less energy to heat and cool than other typical lodgings, but the best part is that they’re situated on beautiful grounds in Manuel Antonio and just a minute’s walk from the beach. Also on the premises is a luxury beach club and Casa Planta, the resort’s restaurant and bar.

Photo: Zocha Group

Cielo Lodge

See the sea from the sky. At Cielo Lodge, an infinity pool overlooks the ocean and mountains. The resort describes itself as modern, minimalist and eco-friendly, inviting guests to comfortably coexist with nature. They offer complementary excursions like a dolphin tour, mangrove tour, waterfall hikes and more to get you as close as possible to the magic of Costa Rica.

Tortuga Lodge & Gardens

Note that Tortuga Lodge & Gardens is only accessible by bus, boat, or small plane, but going the extra mile is worth it for this unique lodge. Located on a beautiful canal, 27 spacious guest rooms invite you to settle in and relax before heading out to see rare sea turtles, touring the gardens, or exploring the town of Tortuguero.

The Bride Guide: Planning a Honeymoon in Turks & Caicos

Plan a Dream Honeymoon in Turks & Caicos

Getting married is one of the most exciting seasons of life, but planning a wedding can also be stressful and challenging. That’s why your honeymoon should be a time to truly unwind and enjoy uninterrupted time with the person you love. Turks and Caicos is one of our favorite honeymoon destinations because of its tranquility, beauty, and wide array of options for lodgings and activities. It’s also a relatively easy tropical destination to fly into and out of. If you’re planning for a honeymoon in Turks and Caicos, here are some of our top recommendations.

─ Where to Stay – Resorts ─

Amanyara

Unique and tranquil, Amanyara is easily one of the top luxury resorts in the area. It’s eco-friendly and perfect for the couple who plans to stay at the resort full-time instead of adventuring around the islands.

COMO Parrot Cay

Located on the private island of Parrot Cay, it doesn’t get much more intimate than COMO. Villas and houses have their own pools, while suites and rooms offer priceless ocean views.

Wymara Resort & Villas

This 5-star resort is set on the picturesque Grace Bay beach, but it’s also close to town for couples who want to explore. If not, take advantage of Wymara’s luxury spa and trademark dining options.

Grace Bay

The Grace Bay Resort is a true icon in Turks and Caicos. The oldest resort on the islands, Grace Bay began as an exclusive boutique hotel and has now expanded into three resorts to become the lively and luxurious fixture we know today.

Seven Stars

Seven Stars is for the couple who wants a bit of everything. It’s pure luxury and relaxation with white-glove service, amazing wellness offerings and exquisite dining options, but there are also plenty of opportunities for fun and exploration.

─ Where to Stay – Villas ─

Sentosa

For the couple who never wants the wedding festivities to end, there’s no better choice than the Sentosa villa. With eight bedrooms, we’d recommend booking a smaller stay for a couple of nights as newlyweds, and then moving over to Sentosa with family and friends to keep the party going. Enjoy an in-house gym, luxury infinity pool, and 1.4 acres of your very own beachfront paradise.

Beach Kandi

This sleek, modern villa offers two bedrooms and a pool that steps right out onto the beach. Huge windows in every room make it feel like you never miss a moment in the sun. Like every villa on our list, Beach Kandi also includes a 24-hour concierge service (think: chef, housekeeper, and butler) so you’ll want for absolutely nothing.

Sugar Kube

Sugar Kube is a true tropical oasis for two. This one-bedroom villa is the right balance of cozy, modern, and luxurious. Enjoy a cocktail on the upstairs patio lounge and read a book on a daybed by the perfectly sized pool. You’ll be in your own little world.

Beach Shack

Don’t let the name fool you—this is no shack. Having undergone recent renovations, the Beach Shack’s interior is fresh and bohemian with wood-paneled ceilings and stone walls. Enjoy privacy in what feels like a private cove and relax knowing you don’t have to lift a finger.

Beach Cake

The Beach Cake is an architectural wonder. This 3-bedroom “upside down house” features the pool and main living spaces on the second floor. It’s also walking distance to some fun dinner spots for the couple who loves to explore. During the day or to stargaze at night, enjoy a sun deck on the very top floor, an amazing outdoor bath and shower, and a view of the ocean no matter where you choose to lounge.

─ Bars & Restaurants ─

Coco Bistro

Located within walking distance from many resorts in the Grace Bay area, Coco Bistro strikes the perfect balance between local fare and luxury cuisine. Enjoy tuna tartare, West Indian shrimp curry, and a full list of wine from around the world.

Photo: Zocha Group

Coyaba

Coyaba makes sure that any given night on your honeymoon is a special event. Offering fine dining in Turks and Caicos for over twenty years, this spot is a fixture for seasonal menus and ever changing nightly specials.

Ifiniti at Grace Bay Club

As the premier oceanfront restaurant and raw bar in Providenciales, you can’t get fresher or finer fare than Infiniti at Grace Bay Club. The ambience is romantic and tropical, and we recommend stopping at Infiniti bar (the longest bar in the Caribbean!) for a drink before dinner.

Sui Ren at Shore Club

There’s nothing like sushi by the ocean. Using the freshest ingredients possible, Sui Ren takes a unique approach to sushi, bringing Peruvian and Japanese influence to the table. Located inside the Shore Club, your meal at Sui Ren will have a beautiful backdrop.

Provence

If you’re in the mood for something different, Provence is your spot. With a mix of French and Italian inspiration, this is a fine dining experience you can enjoy at the chef’s table, in the dining room, or outside on the patio.

Bay Bistro

Located inside the beautiful Sibonné Beach Hotel, Bay Bistro is a nice yet low-key spot to enjoy a meal by the water. Stop in for brunch, lunch, dinner or a drink!

Mudjin

Located on Middle Caicos, Mudjin Harbor is known for being one of the most beautiful beaches in Turks and Caicos. Naturally, Mudjin Bar & Grill offers the best view of the blue water and white sand. It’s a little off the beaten path, but worth it for a cocktail in paradise.

Da Conch Shack

If you’re visiting Turks and Caicos, this laid back restaurant is a must-visit spot for conch prepared in all kinds of ways. Plus, the rum bar gets busy later at night if you’re in the mood to dance!

─ Activities ─

Yacht Charter

The best way to see Turks and Caicos is by yacht. Many islands make up this stunning destination, and you deserve to see as many of them as possible! We recommend chartering a private or small-group yacht outing for beach hopping from island to island. Some yacht charters also offer off-shore fishing, snorkeling and diving, and even meals and wine on the water.

Photo: Zocha Group

Horseback Riding

Long Bay Beach is the best place for horseback riding if you’re looking for a less-developed stretch of beach. Take it slow and allow yourself to be led to the islands’ most beautiful sights from the back of a horse—no previous riding experience necessary!

Photo: Zocha Group

Enjoy Nature

Visit Salt Cay for a good chance at seeing whales, and even hearing their songs! You’ll also spot wild donkeys on Salt Cay. Taking a trip to North Caicos is a good way to see dolphins, and we also highly recommend snorkeling off any island.

Photo: Zocha Group

Golf, Tennis & Watersports

Turks and Caicos is the right destination for the couple who loves to stay active. There are beautiful golf courses open to guests, including the award-winning Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club on Grace Bay. There are also tennis courts with lessons available so you can learn something new together. We also recommend kitesurfing, waterskiing, and even simply swimming in crystal clear waters.

Photo: Zocha Group

Hands-on Exploration

Take a pair of jet skis for a spin, go kayaking on calm waters, or see Turks and Caicos from a parasail! You could also consider renting a Jeep or 4×4 to see areas of the islands that are closed off to most. No matter your mode of transportation, there’s so much to see in Turks and Caicos!
