It's all well and good spending time with the boys; but every now and then, girls just have to get together, shake off the testosterone ties and get some good old girl power going on! But what are the options for girly getaways? Whether it's a sister, mother and daughter holiday, or a gap year girls' getaway, hooking up with other members of the fairer sex makes for a great trip.

Perhaps one of the most common differentiating factors between males and females is the love of shopping. Whilst most men prefer to minimise their time spent trawling around shops, preferring to get in and out as quickly as possible, girls know that shopping therapy is a cure for almost any ailment. A weekend of shopping with female friends is therefore a great way to have fun, exchange some buying advice, and most of all, enjoy showing off the latest purchases!

If you've recently come out of a relationship, or perhaps are just looking for some holiday romance, then getting together with the girls, donning your finest threads, and strutting your stuff on the dance floor may just be what the love doctor ordered. A beach holiday destination, such as Turkey, Spain or Greece is an ideal place for a man hunt, as well as some fun in the sun with the girls - and, of course, a chance to work on that tan!

For those that prefer adrenaline to Amaretto, an all-girls activity holiday is an ideal option. There are many dedicated 'girls only' activity weeks that are run by and for girls, which include a variety of sports, from swimming to snowboarding. These offer the advantage of being surrounded by other girls, in a supportive environment, without having to worry about competitive males spoiling the fun. Women tend to find that they progress and learn much quicker when in an all-female environment, as there is a greater sense of camaraderie than in a mixed sex group.

If you're out for pure relaxation, then pampering yourself with a health spa break is a guaranteed way of de-stressing and detoxing from everyday life. There are a huge range of spa breaks to choose from; try exotic herbal steam cleansing, a flotation tank experience, or a deep tissue massage. Or why not take a class in yoga or eastern wellbeing, where you can learn elements of T'ai Chi Chikung, daoyin energy work and Indian head massage?

Getting away with the girls is an ideal way to have some good girly fun, whether it's a shopping break, hotel spa break or something more adventurous. So, next time you need a break, ditch the guys and get with your girls. After all - who needs men anyway?
