The coronavirus pandemic has put countless weddings on hold, as well as many of the events that lead up to the big day. As everyone adjusts to celebrating special occasions in new ways to maintain safety standards, we wanted to provide our take on how to make your bride-to-be feel special, while also keeping your girl gang healthy! We put together our list of destination ideas with this in mind. 

 During these times, we love to work with our clients on an individual basis to ensure we create trips that are both unforgettable and also navigate the tricky waters of this pandemic. Our team offers concierge services, providing a one-stop-shop for curation of custom itineraries, including private chefs and boat rentals as well as many other activities.

Isle of Palms, South Carolina

Only 30 minutes outside of Downtown Charleston, you can spend the day out in the sun and then drive into Charleston for dinner outdoors at night. The islands surrounding Charleston are known for their beautiful beaches, charming downtown area, endless shopping and the BEST food! 

We recommend renting a gorgeous beach-front home on Isle of Palms near the famous Front Beach. Here, you’ll find shops, restaurants and plenty of southern ice cream. No need for Uber, as entertainment and fine dining are only steps away. Kick back in your private swimming pool or on an expansive deck to enjoy your day and night with the background of the mesmerizing South Carolina sunset. 

Pro Tip: If you wake up after a wild night in Downtown Charleston craving carbs, we recommend ordering in a spread of Callie’s Charleston Biscuits and setting up a lavish mimosa or Bloody Mary bar. 

Activities:

Allow Andiamo to book an authentic low country boil on the beach, where a catering company will cater a delicious combination of shrimp, sausage, corn on the cob and potatoes. A southern delicacy that is TRULY Instagram worthy!

If you feel comfortable leaving your beach-front pad and wandering into town for some bar-hopping, we recommend the following intimate and never crowded cocktail lounges:

• Hotel Bennett Champagne Bar 

• Restoration Hotel Rooftop 

• The Darling Oyster Bar

The Hamptons, New York

Sweeping white sands, celebrity clientele, beautiful boutiques and fabulous restaurants make The Hamptons one of the best bachelorette party destinations in The USA.   

We recommend renting a large home for your girls, such as this classic Dutch Colonial home sitting on 3 private acres. This ideal Hamptons hideout is home to a private pool house, tennis court, pool and hot tub, so that you and your girlfriends can soak up the sun in luxury. With a house like this, you will never have to leave, with its rooftop terrace, private gym and sauce, and ultra-modern fire pit. If you do want to go out into town, this spectacular location is just a 10 minute drive into downtown Sag Harbor.

Activities:

Allow Andiamo to hire an experienced tennis coach to set up a group lesson or a personal chef to curate an incredible culinary experience. 

Blend your beach-side adventures with a food and wine tour around The Hamptons. The Hamptons is home to some of the most sophisticated vineyards you can find outside of Napa Valley. We recommend a party bus or limo to take you to The Wolffer Estates Vineyards, where their sprawling gardens and opulent wine tasting room will make your wine tour one to remember.  

During the day, charter a boat for you and your girls to unwind for the day. Spend the day exploring the sights of Montauk, head to Southhampton for lunch, and sail to East Hampton for a lavish dinner. These charming boat charters are the best way to get around The Hamptons in style, while avoiding the traffic and crowds.  

Napa Valley, California

Wine taste your days away in Napa with your closest gal pals. Napa is a great destination for a bachelorette party because you can social distance deep in the vineyards in your own private villa or estate, take a private limo to wine tastings, and spend nights in cooking dinner and playing bachelorette games together. Napa is perfect for west coast chicks who don’t want to travel on a plane to get away for the weekend. 

Our pick for a home rental is a stunning six-bedroom home situated on a working vineyard and is located in beautiful Calistoga within Napa & Sonoma Valley. The open concept design makes it easy to enjoy Calistoga’s beautiful scenery. If you’re planning to spend nights cooking in, a state of the art kitchen is a MUST to allow your girlfriends to bring out your inner Master Chef, while you cook up delicious meals with your own desired wine pairings. 

For an additional fee, allow Andiamo to pre-stock your kitchen with the yummiest snacks and cocktails prior to your arrival. Additionally, we’d love to set up a private chef to cook for you and your girls each night. When you’re not in town or enjoying private tastings, kick back pool side on your private terrace equipped with a swimming pool, hot tub and two fire pits. 

Activities:

Wine tasting, of course! Allow Andiamo to rent a private party bus or limo service for the day to safely take you to the following wineries:

• Castello di Amoroso

• Chateau Montelena

• Domaine Carneros

• Turnbull

• Duckhorn

We also recommend a private hike thorough California’s Petrified Forest, where guests are encouraged to wander through trails alongside some of the world’s oldest and largest redwood trees. 

Lake Geneva, Wisconsin

The gem of the Midwest, Lake Geneva has become a go-to destination for Elite travelers looking to experience the fine dining, lake-front mansions, and beautiful views of the majestic Lake Erie. Named the best small town for adventure by USA Today, Lake Geneva is a great spot for Midwest girls looking for a bachelorette location with a beach experience without the flight.

Our rental pick would be a 6-bedroom luxury beach house sits on the south shore of Lake Como in Lake Geneva. With access to two different private beaches and your own private dock, this is the most convenient setup for a boat rental for the weekend.

Activities:

Allow Andiamo to book this boat for you to keep at your personal dock. Many rentals come complete with kayaks, inflatable rafts, and yard games for you and your girls to enjoy.

With many restaurants on the lake, including one of the best pizza parlors in all of Lake Geneva, you can pick up your pizza by boat! No need for Uber, Lake Geneva is all about biking and boating. Many beach houses are a short bike ride into town. We can either arrange bike rentals or many homes come with complimentary bikes!
