Pamper girls trips, fresh nails, old friends and nowhere to be

The real reason you want a girls weekend is to lie down with a drink while somebody else does all the work. We hear you. Manicures, a pamper team that comes to you and a long catch up with your feet up, with somewhere to stay for all of you.

Why the girls keep picking a pamper weekend

Where the shoulders finally drop.

Your lunch break happens at your desk. Your coffee break happens in the car, and your idea of a proper break is sitting in the driveway a little longer before you walk in the front door. The spa weekend has been floated so often it’s become a running joke, complete with a saved folder of places nobody got around to booking.

This is the one break that belongs to all of you at once. Somebody else does the hands and feet, the drinks get poured and the gossip carries on without missing a beat. The great colour debate takes longer than any decision all year, and everyone ends up choosing exactly what they always choose.

Being looked after side by side with the women who know you best isn’t an indulgence. It belongs with the essentials. One by one the shoulders that arrived up near the ears come back down where they belong.

A break is a whole lot better when everyone takes it together, and these are the women worth taking it with.

What happens on a pamper girls weekend

Robes on, polish out, feet up.

A pamper girls trip with My Ultimate is a manicure at a beauty bar or a professional pamper team at your own apartment, built into a whole girls weekend with somewhere to stay, food, drinks and nowhere you need to rush off to.

  1. Four friends in white robes laughing and toasting at the apartment

    The couch fills from end to end.

    Bags down, the playlist on, and the old polish comes off around the coffee table in a group effort that’s mostly gossip, while someone reads the colour names out loud like a wine list.

  2. A manicurist painting nails at the table with polish lined up

    The great colour debate.

    Classic red, barely there nude or something that seemed like an excellent idea after the bubbly arrived. It is the longest decision of the weekend, and definitely the loudest.

  3. A friend in a robe smiling through her manicure in the apartment

    Then somebody else takes over.

    At a beauty bar in Melbourne, or at your apartment in Sydney, Brisbane and on the Gold Coast, where the pamper team sets up in the living room and nobody has to go anywhere.

  4. Two friends laughing and showing off freshly painted nails after a pamper session

    Hands stretched out to dry.

    Fresh nails get compared all along the couch. Opening the next bottle becomes a group project involving elbows. Nobody breaks a nail, which counts as a miracle.

  5. Five friends posing and winking with drinks under pink neon

    Out for dinner, or not.

    Share plates under the neon in Brisbane, rooftop bubbles above Melbourne, or a night in with grazing in Sydney and on the Gold Coast. Every hand that reaches for the plates is freshly done.

  6. Three friends in pyjamas toasting with coffee mugs the next morning

    The morning, in no hurry.

    Coffee at the kitchen bench, every hand laid flat in the daylight while the colours get ranked one last time.

Four ways to do a pamper girls trip

Pick your city, pick your colour.

Each one is a whole girls weekend with the pamper built in: somewhere to stay, the food, the drinks and where to next, already in an order that works. Each city’s page has it alongside every other girls weekend there.

Prices are from, per person, for a minimum of six. Accommodation can cost more on busy dates such as school holidays, so we confirm the price for your exact dates.

What kind of girls group a pamper weekend suits

Everyone who has been carrying the year.

It works for the group that wants to lie down with a drink, and for the friend who has already picked her colour.

Three friends in white robes pulling faces for a selfie with bubbly at the day spa

The group that’s been running on empty.

Flat whites and other people’s calendars. This weekend the one job is choosing a colour.

The ones who keep saying ’spa weekend’.

The saved folder finally gets used. The running joke becomes a plan.

The friend who’s already picked her colour.

Hands up. She’ll still change her mind twice at the table.

A milestone that wants to slow down.

A birthday or a big year, celebrated with feet up instead of a big night out.

Mums who could do with a sit down.

Not a single lunchbox, school run or load of washing all weekend.

Friends from different chapters.

School friends, work friends and somebody’s sister, all with their hands out to dry on the same couch.

What pairs well with a pamper weekend

The rest of the weekend, sorted around the polish.

Every pamper weekend already works on its own. These are the things that sit beautifully beside it, and a few of them can be added to the weekends above.

Something to pick at while the polish dries. Already in the Melbourne, Sydney and Gold Coast weekends, and an extra on the Brisbane one.

Booking a nail appointment, or a whole girls weekend

Same polish, a very different weekend.

Plenty of groups book a nail bar and have a lovely afternoon. Then comes the bit after: where to eat, who’s booking it, and everyone heading off in separate directions just as the catch up gets good.

A pamper girls weekend with My Ultimate has the apartment, the food, the drinks and where to next already lined up around the pamper, so the colour review happens on the couch, feet up, with everyone there.

Somewhere to stay, already in it.One living room for the polish, the drying time and the morning coffee.
One front door at the end of the night.Everyone heads home to the same place, nails intact.
You’re in the photo.Hands out with the girls, not on your phone working out where dinner is.

Still deciding? See what pairs well with a pamper weekend, or pick your city and see the weekends.

What’s in the pamper?

In Melbourne, a deluxe manicure at a beauty bar. In Sydney and Brisbane, a pamper team comes to your apartment with a manicure and pedicure each, or a hand and foot pamper for anyone already wearing gels. On the Gold Coast, a manicure or pedicure each plus a seated neck and shoulder massage.

How much does a pamper girls trip cost?

The four pamper weekends start from $429 per person in Brisbane, $449 on the Gold Coast, $479 in Sydney and $549 in Melbourne, with somewhere to stay included, for a minimum of six. Accommodation can cost more on busy dates such as school holidays, so we confirm the price for your exact weekend when you check availability.

Do we have to leave the apartment?

Not in Sydney, Brisbane or on the Gold Coast, where the pamper team comes to you. In Melbourne the manicure is at a beauty bar, then it’s back to a luxe stay with a pool, spa and sauna.

Can we add a pamper to a different weekend?

In Melbourne and Sydney, an In-Room Mani Pedi Pamper is an extra on several other weekends, from $99 per person. Each weekend’s page shows the extras it can take.

Your own apartment or a luxe stay, then food and drinks: rooftop bubbles in Melbourne, a rooftop lunch and grazing in Sydney, dinner under the neon in Brisbane, and a waterfront lunch and grazing on the Gold Coast.

A pamper with My Ultimate comes inside a whole girls weekend, with somewhere to stay. Pick your city to see the weekends in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and on the Gold Coast.

How many of us do we need?

All four pamper weekends start from six. Fewer than that? Let us know how many of you there are. We cater for groups of many sizes.

What goes well with a pamper weekend?

Grazing, a night in, tarot readings, a rooftop, a massage, brunch or a VIP booth. Some are already in the weekends and some can be added; each city’s page shows what’s in each one.

Is a pamper weekend a good idea for a birthday?

It’s a beautiful one. The birthday girl gets first pick of the colours, and nobody has to rush off anywhere.
