The chance to explore an exciting new destination — or revisit a favorite spot — with your pals is one of the great joys of travel. How to coordinate a group vacation depends on your group's interests, but virtually any place has the potential for a great vacation with friends. That being said, some spots are just inherently better suited for a fabulous group trip, and that can take many forms. It might mean lively nightlife, stellar restaurants with space to accommodate your entire crew, loads of activities, or wide sandy beaches for everyone to sprawl out in the sunshine.
Ibiza, Spain

Many people consider Ibiza to be the ultimate group trip destination. That's because this Balearic Islands paradise is famed for its nightlife. Of course, it's not all about bar hopping and beach clubs. Pals who prefer to relax instead of party can visit secluded coves, traipse around the chiller villages, browse the artisan shops, or just make the Six Senses Ibiza vacation HQ. Ibiza also brims with natural beauty and hosts many yoga retreats throughout the year.
Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

Searching for the perfect place to surf, do yoga, and chill with your pals? Santa Teresa is a laid-back beach town on Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula with beautiful beaches, great food, and a relaxed pace. It has an international dining scene with cuisine to please any palate, spirited bars right on the sand to watch the stunning sunsets, and lovely local boutiques to pick up souvenirs. ATV excursions, hiking, and zip-lining, meanwhile, offer plenty of opportunities for adventure.
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

For some groups, the stress of planning a holiday overshadows the excitement of actually escaping somewhere awesome. That's when a luxury all-inclusive resort comes into play. If you'd rather hit "book" and let the rest unfold in easy, breezy vacation style, consider jetting off to Punta Cana for a few days of oceanfront bliss, great food, and fun with your buddies at the top-rated Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana on beautiful Juanillo Beach.
A Cruise

A cruise with your friends or loved ones is a great way to catch up and spend unforgettable moments together. Along with witnessing the scenic beauty and exploring foreign lands, you can also reap special perks on cruises like free rooms, complimentary drinks, etc. Check out some of the benefits of a group cruise.
Favorable group rates: Group cruises are often priced lower than regular rates. This is perhaps one of the best benefits of booking a group cruise.
Special perks: When you book multiple cabins, you get added perks like onboard credits, complimentary specialty dining, drink vouchers, etc.
Discount for kids: Some cruise lines offer discounted rates for third or fourth passengers along with two full-paying guests. Other cruise lines offer free cruises for two children when they share a cabin with two full-fare adults.
