In the summer, you and your boys will realize that your city is too small for your big crew of outlaws. In that case, you need to take your party somewhere outside the city limits and into the unknown where you can enjoy a whole new world of excitement and adventure. Maybe even lay low for a bit and relax while you recharge your batteries, who knows. If you don’t know any of the destinations perfect for a mancation, here are a few ideas to keep in mind for your next getaway with the boyz:
Surfing in Costa Rica
Costa Rica is one of the most sought-after destinations today. This country has everything—amazing beaches, beautiful nature, great food and plenty of exciting activities for guys. Splurge on a forest mansion that overlooks the ocean and spend your days practicing your surfing skills. If you and your buds are new to surfing, there are 7-day programs that include surf coaching as well as private chefs, organized jungle hikes and lux accommodation. Everything will be taken care of for you (laundry, food, drinks, etc.) and all you need to do is focus your attention on improving your surfing skills and having tons of fun with the guys.
Racing in Germany
Are you and the boys itching for some serious speed and adrenaline? Pack your bags for Germany and hit Nordschleife—the legendary race track where you can drive all the best supercars. If you book a BMW M Power Experience, you can enjoy various lessons on racing and learn things like seating, steering, handling and beating the clock. To get the most authentic experience, stay in Lindner, a local hotel that offers great views of the track. When in the country, you can also try to get into some of the famous raves of the country and party with the locals. Their raves can last for days, so let’s see if you can keep up.
Hunting in Wyoming
Is there anything more manly than a hunting trip, even if you’re not exactly interested in killing anything. Every hunting trip requires some training and preparation, so sharpen up your shooting skills and arm yourself with a few necessities. If you’re organizing the trip, you can surprise your buds with matching automatic knives and ensure they always have a sharp tool up their sleeve for emergencies. Wyoming can be unforgiving and cruel, but as you haul a huge elk through the forest, you’ll feel completely reborn, centered and humbled by the power of nature you just managed to tame. It’s a great activity and boding opportunity for all men to experience at least once.
Scotch tasting in Scotland
If you prefer to spend your time indoors instead of hiking in the woods, you can fly to Scotland and try their signature drink—quality Scotch Whisky. There are various tasting experiences in Scotland such as the Scotch Whiskey Experience in Edinburgh, the Glengoyne Distillery in Galloway and Dumfries, and the Tomatin Distillery in Inverness-shire. All of these tours include distilling process explanations, whisky tastings and amazing food degustation. Before you go to your tasting and tour of the whisky cellars, you can play a round of golf. After all, Scotland is the birthplace of this game so it would be a shame to miss the chance to experience a round in some of the most scenic courses in the world.
Gambling in Vegas
We really tried, but it’s simply impossible to have a mancation destination list without Las Vegas. Sin City is simply perfect for a guys trip because you can find so many activities catered toward men, from sports car tests to gambling and partying in crazy nightclubs. Your mancation can be filled with activities such as racing supercars, partying at EDM festivals, winning big at casinos, playing golf, horseback riding, kayaking at Hoover Dam, shooting machineguns and assault rifles, etc. And if you and your buddies are very outdoorsy, don’t think you can’t have fun in Vegas. Take an excursion to Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon or Monument Valley or go exploring some of the most amazing sites in Southern Utah.
Manscaping and self-care in Napa Valley
When people talk about mancations, they usually imagine guys getting dirty, sweaty and muddy and washing it all with a ton of beer. However, that’s just an unhealthy stereotype. If you and your best buds need relaxation, de-stressing and self-care, head to Napa Valley and book a spa program for the boys. There are programs that cater specifically to men and offer treatments such as Organic Male Facials, Mud masks, geothermal pool baths and massages in vibration chairs. You can finish every day with Michelin-star dinners and of course, some amazing wine. When you get home, your group will look and feel better than ever. And there’s nothing more attractive than a well-groomed man who knows a bunch about self-care and wine.
There you have it—some awesome ideas for your next mancation. From surfing to hiking, hunting and basking in luxury, you’ll find all the activities your gang enjoys, and you’ll experience many new things and bond with the bros like never before. And when you come back, you can all go back to being leaders and alphas thanks to your newfound strength and energy.
