POV: You’re single and thriving, and honestly? Galentine’s deserves more than just a dinner reservation. Get the getaway out of the group chat and you could be swapping sip and paint for sunshine, small plates and spritzes – as if you needed any more reasons to book a Galentine’s getaway this year.  

Palma 

When you say Palma, we think sipping cocktails on chic rooftop bars, getting group shots outside the La Seu Cathedral and sunbathing side by side on Can Pere Antoni Beach – dreamy. Don’t sleep on the Old Town either – it's here where you can cheers to your friendship, get stuck into chocolate covered churros and drink fruity vino. Yep, Palma’s proof you don’t need romance to fall head over heels. 

Morocco 

Colour and culture top of your list? You and the gang will love Morocco. Think getting lost in the souks, rooftop riads with mint tea on tap and golden-hour pics that don’t need a filter. One minute you’re sharing tagines and flatbreads, the next you’re bargaining like a pro and ending the day under the stars. We hope you’ve got plenty of space in your suitcase!

Porto 

If you’re a group of foodies and serial brunchers, Porto might be a bit of you. Get set for gossiping over pastel de natas, Insta pics on tiled streets and rooftop cocktails with a side of panoramic views. Everything about this city is colourful – from the riverside houses of Ribeira to the wine cellars lining the Douro, it’s the kind of place where eating and drinking your way through the day is the only plan you need.  

The Algarve 

Another sunshine pick – the Algarve’s a Galentine’s dream! Days here are for boat trips and coastal swims that’ll leave you feeling refreshed. Come evening time, wine-fuelled dinners are the way forward followed by, “should we stay out?” moments, seaside bars and laughing until your face hurts.  

Tenerife 

If the gals are leaning towards something more sand than city, Tenerife is the destination. Think lazy days down by the beach, long cocktail lunches and endless tapas dishes that just keep on coming. And if you’re craving a night of clubs and kebabs, Las Americas’ buzzy bars are ready to oblige.
