Asian’s very own Sin City has much to offer bachelorette groups in terms of nightlife and shopping.

Come nightfall, let your inner party animal out at any of the city’s renowned nightclubs which offer everything from ladyboy cabarets to your regular karaoke bar.

Dubai
Go big or go home is the motto to live by when in Dubai. This oasis in the desert is full of amazing activities for the girls to enjoy. Go on guided camel rides or challenge each other to a spot of sand dune racing - if your entourage is the sporty type that is. In the evening, hit up Dubai’s night spots, and since you’re in Dubai, be sure to check out Armani Prive, for a mesmerizing party experience in the world’s tallest tower, the Burj Khalifa.

Hong Kong
For a quick Asian getaway filled with shopping, good food and a spot of partying, Hong Kong is the place to do it all.

Las Vegas
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, right? This city is your green light to go all out and celebrate your last days as a singleton with some of the world’s best spas, world class restaurants, glittery casinos, endless shopping and of course, the hottest nightclubs in town. Treat the bride to some of the best shopping in the world before dancing the night away in the strip’s many nightclubs, knowing that you’ll spend the day after recuperating poolside before you try your luck at the casinos later on. Whatever you choose to do, boredom is sure to be a word that won’t escape your lips in the glittering oasis of Sin City.
6/10
Macau
For a Las Vegas experience closer to home, it doesn’t get better than Macau. The city is truly the Las Vegas of the East and is a perfect destination for the budget conscious bachelorette party. With 4 of the 5 largest casinos in the world, Macau is no small player to dismiss easily. Amidst the neon lights and pulsating beats of the city’s nightlife, the cobbled back streets, baroque churches, stone fortresses and art deco buildings lend a European charm to Macau.
7/10
Maldives
The Maldives might be popular as a honeymoon spot but after all the hard work of planning a wedding, the bride and her entourage could certainly do with a tranquil getaway. Kick back and be pampered with the best massage and spa treatments in the world and if you’re up for it, try out the adrenaline rushing water sports activities on offer. One thing’s for sure, when it comes to the Maldives, it’ll be hard to top a destination as beautiful and memorable as this.
8/10
Ibiza
For a final fling before the ring, there’s no better place to do it than Ibiza. The island is a Mecca of the hippest bars and hottest dance clubs, drawing legions of party goers with its pulsating beats every summer. The world’s best DJs are constantly playing here and don’t be surprised if you find yourself bumping shoulders with a few celebrities.
9/10
Goa
Sun, sea, sand and never ending parties, we can’t think of a better destination to bid adieu to the single life than the Indian town of Goa. With non-stop music, free-flowing drinks, and incredible beach parties, Goa is the perfect place to let your hair down with your BFFs and make crazy decisions you’ll look back on with fond memories for years to come.
10/10
Bali
With equal parts nightlife, good food, spa time and beach lazing, this Indonesian island certainly ticks off a long checklist of must-haves in a typical bachelorette party. Bali has a myriad of villas you can rent for your own private shindigs and when the sun goes down, the places you’ll want to see and be seen at include Potato Head, La Favela and Hu’u Bar. But first, you’re going to want to fuel up at any of the world-class fine dining establishments that serve everything from Italian to Asian fusion. On your last day, treat the girls to some spa time to recover from the wild revelry of the days before.
