His & Hers Getaways in Fort Myers
When friends get away together, it usually ends up in the biggest laughs and the greatest memories. Whether you’re reconnecting with your lifelong best friends, celebrating a special event or carving out child-free time together, adults-only vacations are a timeless tradition. Enjoy the freedom to relax, have fun and make the most of every moment with these Southwest Florida–inspired friends trip ideas.
Ladies-Only Traditions
The classic girlfriend getaway is the gift that keeps on giving. We’re a top spot for bachelorette parties with lively places to wine and dine. We’ve always been a haven for wellness and rejuvenation (long before menopause vacations became a trend!). Our islands, beaches and neighborhoods are welcoming to LGBTQ+ travelers, and if you’re in the mood for nature, culture or a culinary adventure it’s all easy to reach.
From the moment you arrive, just drop off your bags and head straight to the beach. Stretch out on the soft sand and take a dip in the calm blue waters. Lunch by the water is a perfect way to usher in vacation mode and raise a toast to your much-needed girlfriend getaway. An evening walk around the brick-paved River District shows off Fort Myer’s top art galleries, boutique shops and trendy bars and restaurants.
Throughout your stay, active outings are everywhere you look, from island-hopping adventures and manatee spotting to sunset cruises with a champagne sendoff. Spend a morning on the golf course or try yoga by the river at the Edison and Ford Winter Estates. We love a hearty meal around here, whether from a cozy coffee shop, a menu filled with delicious Southern favorites like Ella Mae’s Diner in downtown Fort Myers or a seafood feast overlooking a canal in Cape Coral. Cap off your day with an evening of local culture at the theater or a live music performance.
Great Guys Getaways
Catch up and cut loose. A guys vacation can be as simple as a night on the town or a multiday vacation where you can accomplish all of your favorite activities.
This region of Southwest Florida is renowned for its world-class craft beer scene, a tradition that began with Fort Myers Brewing Company and has expanded to several local breweries creating their own special brands. Take a tour of the facilities, try a tasting in the tap room, or just sit back and enjoy a pint over games and great conversation.
Golfing is such a beloved pastime around here that you could try a different course every day and never get bored. The Nicklaus-designed Old Corkscrew Golf Club intertwines beautifully with its natural surroundings, and the Stoneybrook Golf Club in Estero is one of the longest in Southwest Florida. Want to kick up the friendly competition? Try an evening of mini golf, cocktails and cuisine at PopStroke Fort Myers or practice your swing in side-by-side bays at TopGolf with a full menu of food and beverages.
Nothing beats bonding outdoors, and this area was built for those adventures. Charter a fishing boat to access some of the best local spots, and even try your hand at catching one of the kings of Fort Myers: the mighty tarpon. If staying on land is more your style, wildlife hikes and nature walks will take you deep into lush forests and shimmering wetlands.
Want to mix and mingle? All of these activities and more are perfect for getaways of all sizes and interests. From date night ideas to group-friendly outings, just get the group chat started and make this Fort Myers vacation a reality.
