Scottsdale Girls Trip

A Scottsdale girls trip is pools, spas, and sun — private-pool houses, resort spa days, brunch, and Old Town shopping and bars. Here's where to stay, what to do, a sample weekend, what it costs, and how to split it.

Where to stay for a girls trip in Scottsdale

Old Town to walk to shops and restaurants, or North Scottsdale for a big private-pool home. See Scottsdale rentals for large groups.

What to do in Scottsdale

The Scottsdale girls-trip lineup:

  • A private-pool house day — the main event; lounge, float, and set up a bar.
  • A resort spa afternoon — massages, a soak, and a quiet reset.
  • A boozy brunch and Old Town shopping and bars.
  • A sunrise hot-air balloon over the desert or an easy Camelback hike.
  • A wine-tasting or a group dinner to close the night.

A sample Scottsdale girls-trip weekend

  • Friday — arrive, a group dinner, then Old Town bars.
  • Saturday — a slow brunch, a pool-house day, a spa afternoon, and dinner.
  • Sunday — a sunrise balloon or a short hike, one more brunch, then fly out.

Plan it in the girls trip guide and pack with the girls trip supplies list.

Cost & when to go

Excluding flights, budget roughly $500–$1,000 per person for a weekend — the private-pool rental and a spa day are the big line items. Split it with the cost splitter. Spring and fall are pool-perfect; midsummer tops 110°F (a private pool and early mornings still make it a cheaper option); winter is peak and pricey.

Plan it and split the cost

Lock the date and headcount, set a per-person budget early, and book one big rental with room to hang. Plan a couple of anchors (a dinner, an activity) and leave the rest open — see the full girls trip planning guide. Then split the cost with the cost splitter.
