Keeping aside the actual wedding, the next most important bridal milestone for a bride is her bachelorette party. With the wedding season on, bridesmaids are going ape shit crazy zeroing in on the dates, choosing the destination, getting a house that accommodates everyone, all while making sure the bride is blissfully unaware of the celebration that awaits her.
We may not be able to help you with all that planning, but if Goa happens to be your crew's choice of poison, we have a couple of amazing bachelorette pads for the bride and her tribe. We have taken special efforts in picking out properties that have an attached private pool, because what's a bachelorette without a pool!
