Ibiza

Best for: The Bohemian Bride-To-Be

Ibiza or the ‘White Isle’ as it is affectionately referred to is the ideal place to go for a luxurious hen weekend abroad.   A hen do here would best suit a bohemian bride who loves to party in stylish bars and clubs.  We recommend spending the day sunbathing at one of the Islands luxurious beach clubs – perfect with a cocktail in hand.  Take a trip to either Salinas or Playa Den’ Bossa, here you can enjoy the beautiful stretches of beach and party with the beautiful people.

By night head to Ibiza Town and enjoy the hustle and bustle of the cobbled streets which are alive with boutiques, cocktail bars and restaurants, a great way to start your evening.

Finish off the night at one of Ibiza’s renowned super clubs where you can rub shoulders with the rich and famous.

Brighton

 

Best for: The Party Loving Bride-to-Be

Brighton is said to be one of the most popular British hen party destinations and we couldn’t agree more. ‘London by the Sea’ offers all of the excitement and fun of a city with an eclectic seaside twist; it is a hen party haven with a diverse choice of places to stay and things to do with stylish apartments, fabulous shopping, boutique hotels and opulent luxury hotels.

Las Vegas

Best for: The Extrovert Bride-to-Be

The bright lights of Vegas are perfect for a hen weekend especially if you are looking for an indulgent, unforgettable once in a life time experience.  The city is full of iconic casinos, ultra trendy clubs, famous pool parties, amazing shops and a 24/7 party culture. So if this sounds like your kind of weekend then look no further. It may seem a little excessive hopping on a 10 hour flight for your hen but why not, the experience will be worth it!
