Curator’s statement
With miles of stunning beaches, the iconic Intracoastal Waterway, and scenic sandbars perfect for boat days, plus just minutes from a vibrant downtown filled with nightlife, Fort Lauderdale is the ultimate destination for your dream bachelorette party. As a South Florida native who’s experienced multiple bachelorette celebrations—including my own—I can confidently say this city offers the perfect place for any group of girls looking to make unforgettable memories.

Day 1: Arrive & relax

I recommend arriving at the hotel as early as possible to maximize your day. You can leave your luggage with the front desk until your rooms are ready. After a morning of travel, lunch is calling! Head to the beach and try Coconuts for delicious food paired with stunning views. If you’re craving something quicker and more casual, grab a pizza at Primanti Bros. Then, take a leisurely stroll around the beach area or relax by the hotel pool.
Once you’re able to check in, consider placing an Instacart order from Publix with your favorite snacks, wine, and liquor. Settle into your room and get ready for the evening. For your first night, keep it relaxed with a beautiful beachfront dinner at either S3 or Takato. After dinner, explore some beach bars like Elbo Room or Blondies, or head back to the hotel for a cozy game night.
Day 2: Boat day

Sleep in and start your day with breakfast delivered right to your door. Try the delicious bagel sandwiches from Bagels & Co, or if your hotel is nearby, Panther Coffee on the beach is a great spot for a fresh, local brew.
Today is a boat day! Choose from a variety of boats available for charter, whether you want a few hours or the whole day. Cruise along the scenic Intracoastal Waterway, then drop anchor at a local sandbar for swimming and sunbathing.
After your boat adventure, unwind by the hotel pool or relax in your room before gearing up for a fun night out. Tonight, call a few Ubers and make your way to the iconic Hard Rock Hotel, home of the famous Guitar Hotel—just about a 20-minute drive away.
Dinner options here are endless, with something for everyone: choose from upscale Italian, premium steaks, or flavorful Asian cuisine. After dinner, try your luck at the casino or dance the night away at DAER Nightclub.
If the Hard Rock vibe isn’t your scene, no worries—head to Las Olas for dinner and drinks instead (see Day 3 for recommendations).
Day 3: Final day in paradise

After a fun night out, a relaxed brunch is a must. Make a reservation at Wild Thyme on the beach and don’t miss their signature brunch boards. After brunch, take the rest of the day to recover and soak up the sun. Whether you prefer lounging by the pool or on the sand, grab some beach chairs, take a dip, and enjoy some well-earned downtime with your girls. It’s the perfect way to recharge and enjoy each other’s company in paradise.
Tonight, the group will head to Las Olas for dinner and drinks. For a quieter Italian dinner, Caffe Europa is ideal, while Moxies offers a livelier atmosphere. Post-dinner, there are several bars within walking distance to explore. Check out Howl at the Moon for an energetic live piano show, Rooftop @1WLO for stunning views, or Tin Roof and The Wharf for a lively crowd and great music.
Need to know
I recommend flying into Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), though Miami International Airport (MIA) and Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) are also nearby options. Another fun and unique way to explore the city is by hopping on the Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi. It’s a scenic and relaxing way to get around while taking in the waterfront views.
While not part of the main itinerary, Fort Lauderdale also offers plenty of opportunities to stay active. Enjoy a peaceful walk along the beach, rent bikes for a ride down A1A, or explore one of the city’s many scenic spots—it’s a beautiful place to mix in a little movement with all the fun.
