5 great hen weekend ideas in Europe.
Taking the hen party out to a European city is perfect for those with a sense of adventure, and can be just as affordable as a weekend break in the UK. Here we bring you a choice of popular destinations and some great ideas for keeping the girls amused while you're out there. Remember: what goes on tour stays on tour!
When you're revving up at the mini Grand Prix with between 10 and 40 petrol engined go-karts, who says boys have to have all the driving fun? These toys go up to 45mph, and leave everyone with a full tank of adrenaline. Once the champagne's been spilt then it's off to the luxury hotel (you can choose your appropriate level of decadence from a wide range of accommodation options) for a delicious dinner and an evening spent carousing the night away in several of Amsterdam's infamous night spots. There are no shortage of bars and night clubs so this is an easy choice for the hen weekend organiser!
2) Sailing hen weekend in Galway
Out on the water on a summer's day you'll feel a million miles from your cares and worries. Under the expert supervision of a crew of able bodied seamen, you'll take to the high seas for an unforgettable day's sailing on the Atlantic Ocean. Later on, set course for Galway's thriving club scene where you can regale the locals with tall tales of your adventures on the high seas. Your VIP entrance has already been arranged so you can party in style or head back to the late bar at the centrally located hotel, where a full English breakfast is also included.
3) Pampering and Partying in Ibiza
Ibiza represents the pinnacle of party pleasure on the planet. No other destination can top it for sheer decadence, superstar DJ line-ups and clubbing excellence. So when you add a day-long programme of pampering and relaxation in a fully equipped leisure club, you'd be forgiven for thinking you've died and gone to heaven! Your 3 or 4 star hotel with swimming pool is located a short walk from San Antonio, and provides a perfect retreat after the night's excesses.
For the more adventuresome hen party, a 2 day break on the pristine slopes of Alpe D'Huez in the French Alps is a very affordable yet spectacular alternative to the more traditional cheesy hen weekend options. Your group will stay in well appointed self-catered apartments, all of which boast panoramic views. The skiing is excellent, with good snow conditions throughout the winter season and remarkably good off-piste trails too. Access to an indoor ice skating rink and a heated outdoor swimming pool gives you plenty of options for après ski relaxation.
5) White water rafting weekend in Krakow
An exhilarating ride down the rip-roaring rapids of a Polish river is one sure way to get the adrenaline pumping and the hens screaming for more. The full complement of safety gear is included, but we know no safety belt can hold you back from the night of partying that awaits you afterwards in one of the biggest clubbing capitals in Europe! You can tailor your accommodation options to the size and budget of the group, and all local transfers are included.
