Want a trip centered around rest and relaxation? Head to the Berkshires, which is home to two top wellness retreats: Canyon Ranch and Miraval. Both properties are equipped with luxurious lodgings, world-class spas, as well as expansive indoor and outdoor fitness offerings. With so many options, each stay is essentially a choose-your-own-adventure. (The Miraval also has a ropes course, if your bridal party is in need of some bonding.)
Plus, you can sign up for all-inclusive packages—meaning there’s no need to keep an Excel spreadsheet of who-needs-to-Venmo-what. Or, if you’d rather rent an Airbnb nearby, each property offers a day pass. Another added bonus? The Berkshires are within driving distance of both New York and Boston. —E.T.

Want a blowout beach bachelorette and have no budget? Lucky you: St. Barths, the Caribbean island known for its high-end beach clubs and lively nightlife, is an option. Rent a villa—through Wimco or Le Collectionist—and book lunch tables at Gyp Sea, Nikki Beach, Shellona, and Petit Plague. For dinner, Le Ti is the place to get rowdy (and, as the night gets later, they also have costumes you can get dressed up in). —E.T.
