Beaches Friends Forever 
Girls' Getaway

Did you say Girls' Getaway? We were recently invited to Beaches Resorts Turks & Caicos to experience Beaches Friends Forever Girls Getaway, and we are excited to share with you the highlights of our time there!


Beaches Resorts Turks & Caicos hosted our publishers for the purposes of this review. All thoughts and opinions are their own.


Beaches Resorts Turks & Caicos is an all-inclusive luxury resort, that features a 45,000 square-foot Pirates Island water park, 5 pools, gourmet dining at 21 restaurants, 12 bars serving premium spirits, and luxury five-star Red Lane Spa. 

Accommodations include four magnificent villages uniquely designed to reflect the architecture and ambiance of Italy, France, the Caribbean, and Key West. They feature lavish rooms and suites accommodating everyone from couples to large families. 

What steals the show at Beaches Turks & Caicos though? The 12-mile white sand beach of Grace Bay is surrounded by clear turquoise waters.

From sailing a catamaran with Island Routes, enjoying world-class entertainment, indulging in a champagne soirée, and making new friendships, we made great memories for years to come.

We enjoyed the ultimate friends' vacation with activities that included sunrise yoga, self-discovery sessions, beach cocktails, and adventures throughout. The perfect amount of relaxation, bonding time, and opportunities for us to try something new. 



During Baubles & Bubbles, we gathered over cocktails with Project Runway Designer Amanda Perna to create one-of-a-kind tassel earrings with our BFF.




At Beads & Besties Happy Hour we created friendship bracelets that were tied with intention by visionary artist, jewelry designer, and author Tia Crystal.

One of the ways Beaches BFF pampers you and your bestie is by providing you both with gifts and swag throughout your entire stay, including a $200 credit to the Red Lane Spa, an outing with Island Routes Caribbean Excursion, a Sanitas Skincare Kit, and a professional photo.

Sail with Island Routes 

Our catamaran ride with Island Routes, the world's leading Caribbean Attraction Company, was one for the books with lots of laughter, dancing on the boat, stopping to take photos in front of Drake’s house, and even spotting a dolphin swimming next to us! Sailing across the turquoise water in Turks & Caicos needs to be on everyone’s bucket list!

Heaven on Earth massage

With our Red Lane Spa Credit, we took advantage of the Tropical Paradise Massage, a 90-minute couples (besties) massage on the beach with gorgeous natural surroundings and the gentle sounds of the ocean. We loved the genuine signature treatments, laid-back sophistication, and oceanfront tranquility of this wellness experience, giving our minds and bodies time to receive the full benefits of our massages.

Beaches BFF: The Ultimate Girls' Getaway Weekend

As MacKID besties who have worked and supported each other from across the U.S., we have deepened our connection with each other every time we have the opportunity to travel together.

When we were invited to attend Beaches sold-out Friends Forever “BFF” Getaway at Beaches Turks & Caicos, we were really looking forward to a relaxing and rejuvenating long weekend connecting our friendship from Pittsburgh to Scottsdale via Turks and Caicos.


Besties from the beaches of Punta Cana in 2021 to Beaches Friends Forever at Beaches Turks & Caicos 2022

What we DIDN’T expect was to meet so many other kind and beautiful women that we would instantly hit it off with.



Enjoying authentic British cuisine and cocktails at the Cricketers Pub on our first night with our new besties we met on the shuttle ride to Beaches Resort.

It’s crazy how you can meet someone on an island more than 1,000 miles away from where you live, but they can make you feel at home and like you’ve been friends forever. Within hours, you’re talking, laughing, and bonding like friends who are meeting up for an afternoon lunch. When the trip is over, you’ve exchanged contact information and already have a zoom date scheduled.

We hit the jackpot with the women that became our instant BFFs before we even got off the shuttle from the airport.

So pack your bags, grab your girlfriends and get ready to experience the ultimate girls' getaway with us next year at the Beaches Friends Forever Girls Getaway!


Thanks to Beaches BFF Girls Getaway for hosting us for this 2022 trip!  We very much appreciate how thoughtful, kind, and gracious our hosts were during our stay!
