Sure, a bachelorette celebration consisting of all-nighters in Las Vegas seems great in theory, but with all of the wedding planning stress sometimes all a bride-to-be and her bridesmaids really crave is a weekend away with lots of rest, relaxation, and rejuvenating activities. Luckily for the Southern California bride, there are many nearby destinations that boast a wealth of wellness offerings to unwind and recharge before the ring. Just a few days at one of these five sundrenched havens and you and your bridesmaids will emerge feeling healthy, energized, and more glowing than ever.
