Miami’s best bachelorette weekends embrace the city’s signature vibrancy—and if you plan well, this can mean a little more style and a lot less cliché. To evade destination bachelorette burnout, skip the overcrowded party spots and opt for experiences that feel celebratory without being predictable. Think shared, elevated-yet-affordable boat charters that make Miami’s glittery skyline feel like it belongs to your group, with sunset views (and a perfect playlist) curated for the bride. More often than not, meals turn into ridiculous celebrations, from lively brunches where napkins swirl in the air to dinners that melt into late-night revelry—because in Miami, the lines between eat, stay, and play are always blurred. It’s always time to play, making it one of the most fun cities in the US for any bride’s bachelorette party.

Like so many modern couples, Gabriella Lourie and GT Svanikier met first on a dating app. It was the summer of 2020 in Brooklyn, and COVID-19 was ravaging the city, so their first date was spent outdoors. Their “big pandemic love story,” as Gabriella puts it, was sealed with an engagement on New Year’s Day 2023. But they faced a problem as they began to plan—their families and friends were scattered around the world: Gabriella has lived in Massachusetts, Washington, DC, and New York, while GT was born in Ghana and also has lived in DC and New York. Their guest list included folks on the West Coast of the US as well as in Europe, so “it made sense to bring everyone to a neutral territory, a place we knew relatively well,” says Gabriella. “We knew a lot of our friends and family wanted to go to Turks and Caicos at some point, so the stars aligned,” for a destination wedding.

My driver at Geneva airport opens the car door for me—a routine gesture, but one that saves me having to face one of my biggest ongoing struggles: communal door handles. Filthy, and potentially evil. After decades of living with contamination OCD, I’m now being driven along sharply winding Alpine roads to Clinic Les Alpes, a medically licensed rehab facility in the Swiss mountains, to address my obsessive thinking.

Today was the first day I had to grab a hoodie on the way out the door for my early morning walk with my dogs. That crisp air caught me by surprise.
