No matter your age, there is nothing more fun than a getaway with your best friend. You can take the time to spend quality moments with each other, having a laugh and just forgetting about the stresses of work and home life. You don’t need to do any chores and can just enjoy yourselves together. There are so many reasons to have a getaway, but what are some things that can really ensure you enjoy it? If you aren’t one for planning, it can feel like a bit of a minefield, but these tips can help. Keep on reading to find out more and get inspired.
Think of what sort of break you want it to be
Do you want it to be a fun, clubbing night away? Where you can start the night with a glass of prosecco, pop on your nicotine products to curb any cravings, and head out for a night on the tiles? Or do you want something more low key like a spa break? Talk together to decide what you want from your trip and find somewhere that suits both of your visions.
Decide how far you want to travel
For your getaway, do you want to whizz off somewhere like Ibiza, Greece or another place in Europe, or do you want somewhere closer to home? You can get some great deals if you go abroad, but if you want to just go for a night or two it might not be worth it. You should think of things such as if you have childcare you need to sort back home, how much you want to spend and what you want from your break. If you stay in the UK you could look into something like a luxury hotel or a lodge in the forest with a hot tub.
Consider your budget
Budget can play a big part in your getaway with your best friend and you want to make sure you’re both on the same page. Chat about what you want to spend on everything from where you’re staying, to your activities and the food when you are away. You probably won’t be able to get an exact figure, but just a rough ballpark can make it a lot easier!
Plan your itinerary
Before going away, sit down and plan your itinerary together. It doesn’t need to be too detailed, but get things in there that you really want to do, such as booking in a massage or if you want to do a more high-adrenaline activity. This way you won’t miss out on anything when you’re there and are likely to get the best price too.
These are just a few tips to ensure you and your best friend have the best possible getaway together. Whether you’re looking to spend some days in the sun abroad, have a staycation or do a night in a spa, you’re spoiled for choice and are sure to love it.
