You’ve been given the honour (or challenge!) of organising the bride to be’s last weekend away as a single girl, and you want it to be special. But there’s a snag – the hen party falls in winter time, and the prospect of battling the UK’s cold and wind all weekend doesn’t exactly appeal.
So why not give the hen an amazing weekend and go abroad for some winter fun in the sun instead? Tenerife is the perfect choice for winter sun hen weekends between December and May.
Tenerife is the party capital of the Canary Islands, with great restaurants, shops, bars, nightclubs and activities to enjoy. As Tenerife is further afield than many other popular hen party destinations in Europe (flight times are around four hours), it’s a great excuse to stay for three nights and turn your weekend away into a mini break in the sun.
To see how fun and action-packed a long weekend in Tenerife can be we’ve put together a sample itinerary to help you on your way. Take a look!
Featured Itinerary: Tenerife
Thursday
Noon
As soon as you touch down in Tenerife, you will meet your personal tour guide who will be on hand throughout your stay. Transfer to your resort, unpack and get ready for the first activity of the weekend – a trip on a private luxury yacht.
What better way to get to know this gorgeous island than by sea? Your captain will steer you out to sea where you can enjoy stunning views of Tenerife’s coastline, look out for dolphins and sip champagne whilst soaking up the sunshine with your best mates.
PM
Feeling relaxed and refreshed after your luxurious yacht trip, learn to make your favourite cocktails in one of Tenerife’s premier cocktail bars. A professional bar man will teach you all the basics and maybe a bit of flair bar tending too!
Night time
If you’re feeling tired after all that mixing and shaking, now you can leave it to the pros! Glammed up and ready to hit the town, you’ll head to a fabulous bar for a night of champagne cocktails, tasty tapas, waiter service and live music until the early hours.
Friday
AM
Enjoy a chilled out morning after all the fun of the night before. Grab some breakfast, stroll over to the hotel’s pool and enjoy a refreshing dip whilst you and your mates swap stories from last night.
PM
Treat your hen to a fun pole dancing lesson. Professional teachers will show everyone how to pole dance in style, look elegant and have fun too. Pick up a few tips for looking sexy and confident for your night out later on and enjoy a well deserved glass of champagne after your session.
All of that dancing is bound to make everyone starving, so after getting your glad rags on, you’ll head to one of Tenerife’s many fantastic restaurants for a delicious meal. Eat as much as you like – you’ll need all your energy for the night ahead!
Night time
Get your night off to a fantastic start by stopping off at some of Playa de las Americas’ top bars. Your own personal guide can show you the spots with the best drinks, music and atmosphere. Then, with free entrance into one of Tenerife’s hottest clubs, a glass of bubbly for everyone and your own dancefloor booth, everyone can dance and feel like VIPs all night.
Saturday
AM
If all goes to plan, you could well be out partying in Playa de las Americas until six or seven in the morning. So, when you get back to the hotel, just head straight to bed and we’ll see you in the afternoon.
PM
It’s time for some serious pampering! Enjoy a girly afternoon of relaxing in saunas, steam rooms and heated pools as well as being pampered with indulgent massages and facials. We guarantee you’ll leave feeling refreshed and ready to take on Tenerife for one last night on the town.
Night time
For the last night of your weekend, why not make the most of the great nightlife in Playa de las Americas with a brilliant bar crawl? Your guide will take you to some of Tenerife’s hottest night spots where you can enjoy shots and drinks, cheeky party games and even your own VIP areas.
Finish your hen weekend in Tenerife with full VIP treatment in one of the island’s best clubs. With your own VIP area, champagne and free drinks for the hen, you’ll have a brilliant time dancing ‘til you drop in an exciting party atmosphere.
Sunday
AM
You may need to be up early to catch your flight home. But if you have some time to spare, take a quick trip to the Plaza las Americas shopping centre to pick up a souvenir of your great trip before it’s time to head home.
