LITTLE ROCK, AR--(Marketwire - August 18, 2009) - When it comes down to it, making memories
are what girlfriend getaways are all about. In Arkansas, respites can take
the traditional form of spas, shopping and dining, as well as unique
package deals that can include cooking, art and the outdoors. With that in
mind, Arkansas has launched a new Web site:
http://www.Arkansas.com/GirlsGetaways.
Girls Spa Getaways
Eureka Springs and Hot Springs are quintessential spa towns that pamper
women with massages, facials, body wraps, pedicures and more. Both spa
cities are known for shopping opportunities galore, great food, and
nighttime entertainment venues. In Hot Springs, you'll also find horse
racing at Oaklawn Gaming and Racing from mid-January through mid-April and
simulcast racing and electronic games of skill throughout the year.
Shop, Wine, and Dine
Girls looking for a little "Sex and the City" glam can head to cities like
Little Rock or Fayetteville to shop and dine,
then find a piano bar, sing karaoke, or dance the night away to a live
band.
At an Arkansas vineyard, girls can uncork some fun while savoring more than
picturesque scenery. Five wineries in the Arkansas River Valley offer tours
and tasting rooms. In Eureka Springs, located in the northwest Ozarks,
Keel's Creek Winery offers tastings amid an art gallery.
Both Winthrop Rockefeller Institute near Morrilton and Nibbles Academy of
Cooking in Fayetteville offer recreational cooking classes for private
parties.
For Outdoor
Enthusiasts
With more than 250 hiking trails in The Natural State, outdoor enthusiasts
can choose from day hikes to extended backpacking excursions. Some trails
are legendary among mountain bikers, others among horseback riders. At
Stonecreek Ranch Resort near Mountain Home, special women's retreats
involve learning good horsemanship and rejuvenation of the mind, body, and
soul. Numerous streams, like the Buffalo National River, are popular for
canoeing, kayaking and rafting, and have outfitter services.
For girls groups whose interests lie a little more on the sporty side, golf
shoes are welcome at all 13 Arkansas Golf Trail courses as well as at other
diverse links across The Natural State.
