Issa fact: Once you vacay as BFFs, trust, you’ll leave your destination as sisters. Catching R&R in the sun and sand, swapping right-swipe woes while burning sage in the desert, and throwing impromptu dance parties in faraway five-star hotels has a tendency to solidify true-blue friendships. Between moms-only trips, baecations and birthday extravaganzas, these 13 celeb girlfriends are steady catching flights to spend some QT with their fave ladies.

Bozoma Saint John & Yvonne Orji Accra, Ghana
What says friendship more than bringing your badass BFF home for the holidays? The two spent this past Christmas in Accra outfitted in colorful prints and perfect-for-melanin hues. As Saint John pointed out, the trip certainly solidified their newfound “sistership.”

These three made glamping way cooler when they set out to Joshua Tree. For a New Year’s getaway they dubbed #TurnUpTeepee, Solo and her cohorts got in touch with nature while outfitted in the most fashionable threads a desert has ever seen. If that ain’t BFF goals, we don’t know what is.
