Between milestone birthdays, bachelorette parties, sisterhood reunions, and much needed vacations, there are plenty of reasons to gather your gal pals and get out of town! Here are 7 ways to have the best girls getaway ever in Savannah!
1. Stay somewhere cute
Atmosphere is everything, which is why having the perfect place to stay is totally essential. Modern ladies can crash at sleek and fashionable boutique hotels like The Brice or The Cotton Sail Hotel. Into more of a rustic or vintage feel? Stay at a homey bed & breakfast like the The Gastonian or The Presidents’ Quarters Inn. Have a large group and want an entire house to yourself? No problem! The Whitman on Forsyth Park has six gorgeous bedrooms with plenty of space for the biggest bunch. The pad options are endless – you might end up staying somewhere different every night!
2. Pedal through town on a traveling bar
Get a cardio workout while you bar hop in this totally unique contraption! Savannah Slow Ride offers a traveling bar top powered by a 15-person bicycle! A professional tour guide acts as your personal conductor and DJ. Sing, drink, tour and pedal your way through Savannah.
Hey Savannah 2. Brunch it up
Brunching with your gal pals is an absolute must while in Savannah! Bloody marys and mimosas, shrimp and grits, waffles with fresh berries, smashed avocado on toast – need we say more?

☀️3. Plan a beach day
Savannah’s beach, Tybee Island, is only 20 minutes away from the historic district! Grab your bikinis, hats and beach blankets and spend a day soaking up the sun. Grab frozen daiquiris, chow down on fresh seafood and dig your toes into the sand! Don’t feel like driving? Ride on the shuttle bus! Having a beautiful beach day has never been so easy.
4. Get ready for serious photo-ops
Bright sunshine, Spanish moss, and historic buildings are a recipe for the perfect Instagram backdrop. Get underneath the tunneled trees at Wormsloe State Historic Site. Go down to River Street along the waterfront. Get immersed in greenery and bright azaleas in one of Savannah’s 22 historic squares. You’ll have endless opportunities to practice your poses, get together for group photos and “smize” like Tyra Banks – no filter needed!
5. Sip the day away at a brewery
Savannah is becoming quite the brew spot! Tour brewing facilities like Southbound Brewing Co., Coastal Empire Beer Co. or Service Brewing Co. while sipping and sampling craft beer. Sometimes, the breweries host events like live bands and outdoor games. Moon River Brewing Co. has a wonderful beer garden, so you can sit, sip, sample and relax in the sun. Some Saturdays, Southbound Brewing Co. hosts ‘Pints & Poses,’ – so you and your girlfriends can have a little yoga with your beer!

Boutiques, vintage shops, art galleries, famous designers – no matter what you’re looking for, you’ll find it in Savannah! Shop at Satchel for a Savannah-made leather bag. Wander through The Paris Market for French themed knick-knacks. Check out one-of-a-kind glass jewelry at Liquid Sands Glass Gallery. You’ll have your friends back home asking, “Where did you get that!?”
7. Dance, dance, dance!
The best part about a girls getaway? No judgment! It’s time to show off all of the dance moves you’ve been practicing! Head over to Elan for club music and neon lights or Savannah Smiles for dueling pianos and old-school classics. On the weekend, go to City Market and boogie to live music under the stars. You’ll be moving and shaking your way through Savannah!
