Go Best Friend! Celebrity Girlfriends Who Vacation Together

By Niki McGloster · Updated October 23, 2020
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

Issa fact: Once you vacay as BFFs, trust, you’ll leave your destination as sisters. Catching R&R in the sun and sand, swapping right-swipe woes while burning sage in the desert, and throwing impromptu dance parties in faraway five-star hotels has a tendency to solidify true-blue friendships. Between moms-only trips, baecations and birthday extravaganzas, these 13 celeb girlfriends are steady catching flights to spend some QT with their fave ladies.

 

01
Bozoma Saint John & Yvonne Orji Accra, Ghana
What says friendship more than bringing your badass BFF home for the holidays? The two spent this past Christmas in Accra outfitted in colorful prints and perfect-for-melanin hues. As Saint John pointed out, the trip certainly solidified their newfound “sistership.”

Solange & Melina, Shionat – Joshua Tree, CA
These three made glamping way cooler when they set out to Joshua Tree. For a New Year’s getaway they dubbed #TurnUpTeepee, Solo and her cohorts got in touch with nature while outfitted in the most fashionable threads a desert has ever seen. If that ain’t BFF goals, we don’t know what is.

Toya Wright & Lena Huggs – Miami
Beach day with the babies can be just as relaxing as a weekend without mommy duties. Wright and singer RL’s wife, Huggs, enjoyed a mommy’s day out where they connected over strollers and sandcastles.

Kandi Burruss, Toya Wright & Rasheeda Frost – Bahamas
Birthdays are when besties show up, show out and show love! And that’s just what happened for Kandi Burruss’ 40th extravaganza. Her fellow reality show clique pulled up for a celebration that doubled as a girls’ trip and family vacay.

Lori Harvey & Teyana Taylor – Cabo San Lucas
Lori and Teyana pose for the ‘Gram and soak up the Cabo San Lucas sun for Harvey’s 21st birthday. The legal AF duo are more like sisters after flexin’ in cute bikinis on ATVs and white sand beaches.

Eniko Hart and Eudoxie Bridges w/ hubbies – Cabo San Lucas
Couples’ trips are just as lit as girls’ only escapes. With Kevin Hart and Ludacris in attendance, we can assume Eniko and her boo’d up besties enjoyed great convo and belly-aching laughs

Oprah, Gayle King and Ava Duvernay – Fiji Islands
The perks of being best pals with Oprah? Vacationing in paradise with her and her loved ones. The Laucala Island Resort was the backdrop for this tropical girls’ trip-turned-family vacay, where it’s easy to fall in love with your girls over clear water and blue skies.

Ciara and Kelly Rowland
Throwing a mini dance party with your girls is the quintessential bonding activity for besties. For a girls weekend in Sin City, Ciara and her squad celebrated not only friendship, but also the “Promise” singer’s nuptials.

Gabrielle Union, Savannah, Jada w/ hubbies – Ibiza, Spain
Real-life basketball wives Gabby and Savannah bonded over banana boat rides and their boys. When your hubbies are BFFs too, it’s a no-brainer to spend quality time with your fav girl.

Janelle Monae & Tessa Thompson in Mexico
This pussy pants-loving pair kicked up their feet for a bit of R&R to celebrate Monáe’s 30th birthday back in 2015. Reportedly the two hung with a gang of close friends while relaxing poolside and posing for the ‘Gram. Can you say #VacationGoals?
