If you’re dreaming of a sun-soaked, fun-filled getaway for a big group, Fort Lauderdale is the perfect blend of beachy relaxation, waterfront adventure, and exciting nightlife. Check out our guide to throwing the best large bachelorette party this Summer of 2026.

Why Fort Lauderdale Works

With its beautiful beaches, boat-friendly waterways, and walkable entertainment districts, Fort Lauderdale makes planning a large bachelorette group surprisingly smooth. You’ll get stunning ocean views, relaxed coastal vibes, and nightlife that ranges from beach bars to rooftop lounges. There’s something for every personality in your crew.

It’s also conveniently accessible via Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), and still close to Miami if you want to mix in a quick day trip.

The Bad Girls Yoga Experience

Fort Lauderdale is the ideal backdrop for balancing celebration with a little bit of upbeat fun. A Yoga and Pilates Party is a perfect way to kick off your weekend and get the trip going with movement, laughter, and connection blended with coastal breezes.

Your instructor comes directly to your rental, hotel, rooftop, backyard, or even the beach, with mats, music, and a feel-good flow tailored to your group. Expect a mix of energizing movement, deep stretch, and the signature rosé toast that keeps everything fun.

Choose the Right Home Base

Fort Lauderdale has several neighborhoods that work especially well for big groups:

Las Olas

Trendy, walkable, full of boutiques, bars, and restaurants. Great for groups that want nightlife and convenience.

Fort Lauderdale Beach

Ocean views, daybeds, tiki bars, and bigger hotels. Perfect if your group plans to spend a lot of time at the beach or pool.

Wilton Manors

Colorful, lively, and LGBTQ-friendly. Fantastic for fun bar-hopping and drag shows.

Lean Into Fort Lauderdale’s Boat Culture

Fort Lauderdale is literally called The Venice of America; using the water is a must-do activity when you visit. Some ideas are:

Book a catamaran for swimming and sandbar parties
Do a sunset champagne cruise
Reserve a pontoon or tiki boat for a more relaxed vibe
Try the classic Water Taxi for a hop-on, hop-off sightseeing day

Big groups love these because you get a private space, amazing photos, and a built-in activity.
