Best destinations for a group trip

Group trips break on three things: accommodation that fits everyone, restaurants that seat you, and enough variety that the beach person and the museum person both get a day. These places handle all three.

How these were picked

  • Apartments and villas that sleep six or more affordably
  • Restaurants that take group bookings
  • At least one activity that's better with a crowd
