Guys Trip Ideas & Destinations
A great guys trip — or guys vacation — fits the crew, whether that's a Vegas or nightlife weekend, a golf-and-pool trip, or a cabin-and-outdoors escape. Here are guys weekend ideas by activity, the best destinations by vibe, and how to plan it.
Guys weekend ideas (by activity)
Start with what the crew wants to do — the activity picks the destination:
- Golf trip — a stay-and-play at Scottsdale, Myrtle Beach, or Palm Springs; the most popular guys weekend.
- Lake or boat weekend — a lake house with a pontoon (Lake of the Ozarks, Tahoe, Table Rock).
- Ski / snowboard trip — a cabin near Breckenridge, Tahoe, or Park City; see how to plan a group ski trip.
- Vegas weekend — casinos, pools, golf, and nightlife in one place.
- Brewery-and-BBQ city trip — Austin, Nashville, Denver, or Asheville for beer, food, and bars.
- National-park or cabin escape — a big cabin, hikes, fishing, and fire-pit nights for a lower-key crew.
- Sports-and-steak weekend — a pro game, a steakhouse, and a cigar bar in a big city.
Anchor the weekend with one or two of these and leave the rest open.
