What Is a Good Group Getaway for a 30th Birthday?
Turning 30 can be a big deal for many people. It's the first big milestone of middle age after the younger milestones of turning 16 to drive, turning 18 to vote and turning 21 to legally drink. Women sometimes take it more seriously than men, who tend to look at the age of 40 as a tipping point. Either way, a 30th birthday party getaway can help friend celebrate together the fact that they're still young enough to have fun but old enough to enjoy more mature elements.

Spa Weekend

A birthday isn't just a time to cut loose; it's also a time to relax. Many women enjoy spending several days being pampered in a spa setting. These luxury spas can be found in most cities, or they can be remote getaways, but most people live relatively close to one. Search the Internet for regional spas and inquire about package deals. Many spas offer group rates and discounts, and some also offer packages designed for a milestone birthday celebration.
Travel Destinations

A birthday getaway usually centers on a major destination that offers entertainment and excitement for the celebrants. Popular destinations for such travel include places people often save up for, like Hawaii or another tropical location. Check with your local travel agency for package deals and group rates on airfare and hotel stays. When traveling to a tourist area like Hawaii, book special events like a luau or day cruise.

Las Vegas
-
One of the premiere adult getaway destinations in the U.S. is Las Vegas. Because of its legal gambling, open container laws and adult-oriented stage shows, Las Vegas is ideal for a group of adults looking for a getaway. Many of the major hotels on the Las Vegas Strip offer package deals, and some also offer birthday packages for milestones like a 30th birthday. Because most 30-year-olds have friends that are older than 21, a variety of entertainment is available to the entire getaway party.
Wine Country
-
For a slower, more relaxed getaway, consider visiting a local wine country. However, the choices do not end with the Napa Valley. Many regions of the U.S., including the East and the Midwest, have areas with local wineries that offer tasting events and festivals. For a relaxed wine country getaway, consider a bed and breakfast rather than a hotel. This gives a more relaxed and inviting atmosphere, and often these locations also offer group rates and discounts.
Theme Weekends
-
For the more adventurous traveler, there are plenty of themed weekend getaways. One option is to go relatively high end with a Disney vacation at one of their resorts. Disney parks offer package deals and birthday celebrations. This is a good option for a group getaway for families that have younger children. Other options for theme weekends include resorts and destinations that offer an Old West experience. Again, most theme locations can accommodate birthday celebrations, or they have their own package deals for milestone birthdays.
