Anantura Si Kao Resort – Krabi, Thailand

Bachelor Sean Lowe took his ladies to the Andaman coast, next to the Hat Chao Mai National Park an hour from Krabi.

The Bachelor package includes both dates, a three-night stay, breakfast, transfers and daily bottles of wine.

The gang also enjoyed perks like spa treatments, a sports center and an array of restaurants at this village-style resort with views of the sea and Elafiti Islands.

W Scottsdale – Scottsdale, Arizona

Ashley Hebert married J.P. Rosebaum in an event that was (of course!) televised. Included were scenes from the couples’ joint bachelor and bachelorette parties at the stylish W Scottsdale.
