What makes a good group trip destination
The hardest part of a group trip usually isn't the destination itself — it's finding somewhere with enough range that nobody in the group feels shortchanged. These three cover different versions of that.
Dubai — for range
Dubai works for groups because it doesn't force everyone into the same activity — some of the group can shop and see the skyline while others head to the beach or the desert, then everyone reconvenes for dinner.
Mexico — for resort-based groups
The Riviera Maya's resort options are genuinely built for groups — larger villas and all-inclusive-style stays that suit a group wanting one shared base rather than splitting up across the city.
Istanbul — for groups who want to explore
A denser, more walkable option for groups who'd rather wander markets and neighbourhoods together than split off in different directions.
