"Girlfriend Getaway Package

Craving quality time with your gal pals? Our Girlfriend Getaway package promises some serious bonding over gourmet fare, heavenly spa treatments and scenery so breathtaking it can make a gaggle of grown women cry. Whether you're looking for a break from the kids or an ideal spot for a stagette, The Sidney Pier Hotel & Spa was made for estrogen escapism.

Your getaway kicks off with a welcome cocktail in Haro's Lounge (try the Pier Royale or Raspberry Mojito). Then, it's off to the girlie den, a Signature Two-Bedroom Pier Suite, for a girl-talk session. Wake to a fully stocked breakfast pantry (if the late-night gossip calls for a leisurely lie in), or venture downstairs for a seaside breaky in Haro's Restaurant.

Then, it's off to the Haven Spa for a 1-hour facial or massage (warning: spa services have been known to loosen lips in moments of bliss). Spring Girlfriend Getaway package rates start from $229 per person for a Signature 2-bedroom Pier Suite, based on quadruple occupancy.

Reservations can be made by calling 1-866-659-9445.
