Make time for brunch and mimosas

Start your day off right with a delightful brunch, relaxing, laughing, and sharing stories before diving into the day’s activities. Sarasota boasts numerous brunch spots where you can enjoy everything from classic eggs benedict to avocado toast. Don’t forget the mimosas! Some local favorites include Station 400 (local fare served in a restored train depot circa 1852), Libby’s (seasonal cuisine in a stunning space), and Boca (farm-to-fork dishes with an extensive wine list).

Plan a spa day

No list of bachelorette party ideas in Sarasota is complete with the quintessential spa day. Planning a wedding can be stressful, so why not unwind at a luxurious spa? Sarasota offers a variety of top-notch spas like La Chíc Bohème, where you can pamper yourselves with massages, facials, and other rejuvenating treatments. A spa day is a wonderful way to bond, relax, and feel your best before the big day.

Get creative with some DIY crafts

If your group loves to get creative, consider hosting a DIY craft party. Whether it’s making personalized jewelry, custom wooden signs, or decorating wine glasses, a craft party is a fun and unique way to spend time together. Plus, you’ll have adorable keepsakes to remember the special day. We love Board & Brush in nearby Lakewood Ranch for the ultimate paint-and-sip experience (they have beer and wine available for purchase in studio) — perfect for a private party!

Go on an outdoor adventure or horseback ride

For the nature-loving bride, Sarasota offers a range of outdoor activities. Kayaking through the mangroves, paddleboarding, or exploring the local parks and trails provide a refreshing break from the typical bachelorette festivities. For animal lovers, C Ponies in Bradenton and the Tampa Bay area features beautiful horseback riding excursions through the bay and local trails — sunset beach rides are especially popular! It’s an excellent way to enjoy the beautiful Florida scenery and create unforgettable memories.
