A bride’s last ride in Scottsdale, Arizona is the perfect way to celebrate the bride! A bachelorette party in Scottsdale is easily becoming a new hotspot because of its nightlife options, quaint cityscapes, hiking trails, and luxurious spas.
Scottsdale has everything you need to create the bachelorette party of your bestie’s dreams. Whether you want to discover the desert on the back of a horse, soak up the sun at a pool party, or party bike through Old Town, there’s something for everyone. I can vouch because after extensive research, multiple messages to other bachelorettes and friends, and a little trial-and-error I’ve narrowed down our list to only the best of the best for your bride tribe.
Here was our itinerary for the weekend which, in my opinion, was the perfect amount of rage and chill to curate the top bachelorette experience.
Scottsdale bachelorette party’s should be:
Before I get into the nitty gritty, Scottsdale definitely has a vibe about it. If the lady you’re celebrating loves a little rage and the great outdoors, she’ll be thrilled to spend a weekend in the Arizona desert. Scottsdale is perfect for brides and bachelorettes who:
- Love a good pool day
- Enjoys an outdoor experience
- Appreciates a good bar hop experience
Where to stay:
We had 13 ladies in for the bachelorette weekend in Scottsdale. We decided to book an Airbnb since it was the most cost-effective option, but it needed to meet a few qualifications. We needed to have a pool in the backyard, it needed to be close by that rideshare’s weren’t going to cost us $30 a ride, and, hello, it needed to be freakin cute! The maid of honor nailed the spot and we ended up staying at Local Saguaro. It was 1.5 miles from Old Town, had a heated pool, and was soooo cute.
Honestly, y’all, Old Town Scottsdale is where the party is. With multiple walkable restaurants, shops, and bars, it’s easy to see why party people opt to stay in Old Town.
