Plan The Perfect Girls Getaway in Eastern Connecticut

To start your weekend off on the right note, book a spa treatment at the Spa at Norwich Inn in Norwich. They offer a variety of treatments - ranging from massages to fancy manicures and pedicures to facials and body wraps. The great thing is, once you've booked a treatment, you automatically gain spa access for the day. This includes a private indoor pool, a jacuzzi, a hot tub, a "relaxation room," and optional hydromassages for an additional charge. There's also a bar that serves freshly squeezed juices, smoothies, mimosas, wine, light bites, and other libations. For the ultimate relaxation trifecta, wear the decadent cozy robe the inn provides, grab yourself a cocktail, and cozy up with a good book under a blanket on one of their ergonomic chairs in the aforementioned relaxation room.

After you've relaxed for a bit, get ready for a night out at Mohegan Sun, one of the state's best casinos, right across the street from the spa. Grab your girls and head to Sol Toro for some Mexican and margs or Tao for some Asian Fusion. In the mood to party? Avalon Nightclub's got you covered. You can also catch a live show or attend one of the casino's lively events. 

Rest your head for the evening at the locally owned Villa Signor, which is conveniently on the grounds of the Spa at Norwich Inn. Featuring its own private pool (in the summer months) and cozy villas with their own kitchens, an outdoor space and more, you'll be sure to have a quality stay.

On day two of your girls trip, head to nearby Mystic (around a 25 minute drive from Norwich) for breakfast and some downtown strolling. Stop at Sift Bake Shop for coffee and a sweet breakfast treat. Many locals love their chocolate croissant, but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu! After, head to Olde Mistick Village for a shopping spree. 

End your perfect weekend with a glass of local wine and some live music at one of three vineyards in nearby Stonington. Jonathan Edwards Winery, Stonington Vineyards, and Saltwater Farm Vineyard all offer tastings and often have food trucks onsite. Check their schedules online to know before you go!
