Sip, Stroll, and Stay Awhile: A Girls’ Getaway in Tupelo

Say goodbye to long lines, overbooked schedules, and the pressure to “see it all.” Instead, Tupelo invites you to breathe a little deeper, linger a little longer, and reconnect with yourself, your girls, and embrace the simple joy of sisterhood. From downtown strolls and Saturdays spent at the Tupelo Farmers Market at The Depot to rooftop dining and shared laughter beneath the warm glow of spotlights illuminating live music, Tupelo is positively the place for your next girls' getaway.

Start your getaway at Hotel Tupelo, a stylish boutique hotel in the heart of downtown, featuring subtle Elvis-inspired decor and an energetic local vibe. Be sure to visit Jobos, the onsite restaurant and bar featuring a handcrafted cocktail menu and a creative twist on modern coastal cuisine.

For some retail therapy, explore Tupelo’s three shopping districts, Downtown, Midtown, and Barnes Crossing, each offering unique charm. Discover quaint boutiques, curated vintage finds, artisan goods, and stylish Southern staples, perfect for picking up one-of-a-kind treasures or that spontaneous matching accessory you didn’t know you needed. It’s the kind of shopping that feels more like wandering with laughter, coffee stops, and plenty of “you have to try this on” moments.

When the mood calls for fresh air, lace up your sneakers and head out to the Natchez Trace Parkway trails. Discover serene paths that wind through picturesque woods, offering the perfect backdrop for unhurried conversations and quiet reflection. Whether you’re in the mood for a scenic overlook, a gentle hike, or just a spot to sit and breathe, the Natchez Trace Parkway delivers the kind of natural beauty that fills your lungs and refreshes your soul.

No trip to Tupelo is complete without visiting Queen’s Reward Meadery, Mississippi’s first and only meadery. Cozy up with your girls in their inviting tasting room and sample a flight of handcrafted meads. It’s the perfect way to sip, unwind, and toast to a girls’ getaway done right.
