The Ultimate Guide to Planning a Hen Do in Marbella
☀️ Why Marbella is the Perfect Destination for a Hen Do
Planning a hen weekend for someone truly special? Marbella is where sun-soaked glamour, Mediterranean beauty, and curated experiences come together effortlessly.
With over 320 days of sunshine, golden beaches, and a reputation as the jet-set capital of southern Spain, Marbella isn’t just a destination — it's a lifestyle. For brides who dream big, and for bridesmaids who want to get it right, this city offers the perfect blend of chill and chic.
Why Marbella?
✈️ Just a short flight from the UK — easy to coordinate.
🌴 A unique mix of Old Town charm and modern beachside luxury.
🍸 A playground for VIP experiences: think private yachts, sunset dinners, and rooftop cocktails.
💃 Nightlife that blends elegance with wild energy — no touristy chaos here.
🥂 Ideal for groups seeking polished fun with zero stress.
🛥️ Top Luxury Experiences for Your Marbella Hen Do
Let’s talk about what really makes your weekend shine — experiences that impress.
🚤 Private Yacht Hire
Float into the Med with style. A private yacht cruise offers not just sea views, but space to toast the bride with champagne, blast your favourite playlist, and maybe even catch a dolphin or two. Choose a sunset slot for maximum wow-factor and golden photos.
What's included: Captain, drinks, Bluetooth sound system, shaded areas, and optional swim stops.
🍑 Cheeky Butler Service
A Marbella classic — but done right. Our butlers aren’t just a photo-op, they know how to energise the group, break the ice, and keep the rosé flowing. Whether it’s a villa brunch or a surprise appearance, they’re your secret weapon for laughter and unforgettable memories.
🍖 Private Chef & Villa BBQ
No taxis. No waiting for the bill. Just your own private chef preparing Mediterranean magic while you enjoy cocktails poolside. Perfect for a welcome dinner, a recovery brunch, or a closing-night feast under the stars.
Bonus: Set up a luxe table, playlist, candles, and let the chef take care of the rest.
🍸 Cocktail Masterclass
A classy crowd-pleaser. Bring a mixologist to your villa and learn to shake, stir and sip like pros. It’s interactive, fun, and lets everyone loosen up before the night out — with delicious drinks included.
🏡 Where to Stay in Marbella for a Hen Do
Accommodation sets the tone. These are your best bets for luxury and convenience:
🏠 Private Villas with Pools
If you're serious about quality time, this is your move. A villa means freedom, privacy, space for games, pool parties, and no noise restrictions. Bonus: You control the vibe.
🏨 Boutique Hotels in Marbella Old Town
Perfect for smaller groups or brides who want style with authenticity. Picture whitewashed streets, artisan cafés, and a slower rhythm just a few steps from luxury.
🛏️ Puerto Banús Apartments
If you're here for glamour and nightlife, this is your zone. Skip the taxis and stay walking distance from beach clubs, rooftop bars, and yacht ports.
Pro Tip: Hen season peaks between April and September — book at least 2–4 months ahead for the best villas and rates.

💡 Hen Do Planning Tips (for the Maid of Honour)
✨ Planning luxury doesn’t mean stress. Here’s how to stay sane:
🧭 Start early: Book 2–4 months ahead for top-tier options.
📲 Create a group WhatsApp: Share Google Docs, budgets, and reminders in one place.
🧮 Clarify the budget: Agree early on what’s covered — especially if the bride is not paying.
👯 Assign roles: Have a photographer, playlist queen, accountant, and good vibes manager.
🧘♀️ Don’t overplan: Leave breathing room. The best moments are often the unplanned ones.
✨ Final Thoughts: A Hen Do Worth Talking About
A Marbella hen do isn’t just about palm trees and pink cocktails — it’s about intention, experience, and connection. It's the moment where your bride-to-be gets to feel celebrated, relaxed and elevated — surrounded by her favourite women in a place designed for pleasure.
Forget stress. Forget awkward coordination. Plan smart, and enjoy harder.
