5 Bachelorette Party Activities to Try in Palm Springs
The ring is on, and the date is set! Now, it’s time to party with your ladies! Palm Springs is a natural choice for many future brides-to-be in California (and beyond). Not only does the city offer beautiful landscapes and pool-side fun, but it also has a nightlife that is brimming with excitement.
While many bachelorette parties usually include some bar hopping and sashes, there are many other things you can do to celebrate this big occasion. Check out these 5 different bachelorette party activities to try in Palm Springs before your big day.
Sing the Night Away
Bring the ladies and enjoy the night with a crowd of people ready to hear your lovely (or not so lovely) voice. Karaoke is a great way to get loose and in the mood for fun. RetroRoom Lounge is the premiere spot for bachelorette parties to enjoy crowding around a microphone and belting out the notes to your favorite songs. Add in some delicious drinks, and you’ll have a blast celebrating the bride-to-be while also reminiscing about songs that are a huge part of your adolescence.
Take in the View
Round up your gal pals and take in the beautiful view from one of the most popular spots in town! The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway hoists you into the air over the Chino Canyon cliffs. The tramcar ride travels over 2.5 miles along the canyon and offers breathtaking views of Mt. San Jacinto State Park. Once you get to the top at Mountain Station, enjoy some grub at one of the two restaurants available, as well as hiking trails, a museum, and more spots to take in the spectacular view.
Try a Pole Dancing Class
Looking for a way to have fun and burn off some calories? Pole dancing has made its mark on the fitness world and is a great activity to do for a bachelorette party. Hot Yoga Plus in Palm Springs offers pole dancing and trapeze party options for bachelorettes. Private parties are available that include instruction, light refreshments, and time in the steam room and shower areas.
Hit the Spa
There is nothing like relaxing in the spa to melt away all of that wedding planning stress. Choose from multiple spas in the Palm Springs area to get a massage, facials, or aromatherapy. Palm Springs Spa Massage offers mobile spa services that will come to you and the girls. Beautiful Spa Massage is also well known for its amazing deep tissue massage. If money isn’t an issue, consider splurging at The Well Spa at Miramonte Resort or the Palm Springs Yacht Club at Parker Palm Springs for an unforgettable experience.
Paint a Picture
For those bachelorettes who are a bit more creative, consider booking a class at Pinot’s Palette in Palm Springs. The paint and sip option allows guests to follow along in painting a picture all by yourself! It requires no previous experience and is a fun way to spend time with your girlfriends. You can join a class open to the public or book your own private class as well. Taking home the painting is a bonus and can remind you of your fantastic bachelorette trip to Palm Springs.
