Where to Have a Hen Party in Spain
Choosing where to go is probably going to be your first big decision, because Spain has so many completely different options. If your bride wants city glamour, Barcelona is an easy one to look at. You can spend the day wandering around the Gothic Quarter, checking out Gaudí’s famous architecture, stopping for tapas and cocktails, then head towards the waterfront or one of the city’s nightlife areas once the sun goes down. Barcelona combines the Mediterranean with shopping, sightseeing, restaurants and a huge choice of bars and clubs, so you can pack quite a lot into one hen weekend.
Tenerife is made for a girls’ getaway when you want sunshine, cocktails, beach days and nights that don’t finish early. Head south to Playa de las Américas or Costa Adeje and you’ll have gorgeous beaches, pool bars, beach clubs, restaurants and nightlife all within easy reach. Spend your afternoon soaking up the sun, book a boat trip along the coast or grab a round of cocktails before everyone gets glammed up for the evening. Then it’s time for dinner, drinks and dancing. Tenerife’s got that holiday feeling from the moment you arrive, so you can turn the hen weekend into a proper escape without running out of things to do.
If your girls are after a hen do with big nights, sunny days and a seriously good choice of bars, Benidorm deserves a place on the list. You’ve got the huge sweep of Levante Beach for daytime fun, loads of restaurants and bars around the resort and nightlife that’ll keep you busy long after dinner. Get the girls dressed up, head out for cocktails and see where the night takes you, or add in a boat trip, cabaret show or one of the many group activities on offer. Benidorm doesn’t do boring, so it’s a great shout for a hen party that wants to laugh, dance, drink and enjoy a judgment-free atmosphere.
Then there’s Marbella, which is perfect if your bride has visions of poolside cocktails, dressing up and a little bit of luxury. You can explore the whitewashed old town during the day, head towards Puerto Banús for its marina and restaurants, and make the most of the Costa del Sol sunshine. It’s a great excuse to bring the big sunglasses, the floaty dresses and the heels you’ve been saving for something special.
And if the bride says she wants to party hard, Ibiza needs no introduction. This is the place for serious nightlife, famous clubs, DJs, cheeky entertainment and very late nights. Spain’s official tourism site highlights Ibiza as one of the country’s major nightlife destinations, with clubs attracting visitors from around the world. It’s just as good as people say!
Things to Do on a Spain Hen Do
Spain is packed with hen party activities and experiences that’ll get everyone involved, whether you’re after something relaxing, glamorous, boozy, competitive or frankly hilarious. A boat trip is an obvious choice for a sunny Spanish hen party. Get the girls together, grab your sunglasses and spend a few hours out on the water with drinks, music and views of the coastline. You can even have a swim stop!
You could also book a cocktail making experience, head out for a tapas tour, try a Spanish cooking class or book a spa session when everyone needs a bit of downtime. If your bride is a foodie, tapas is practically made for groups. Going out for tapas in Spain often means moving between bars, trying different little dishes and ordering drinks as you go, rather than sitting down for one huge meal. It’s fun, relaxed and gives you another excuse to keep the drinks flowing.
For something a little more glamorous, get everyone dressed up for a rooftop bar, book a fancy dinner or organise a photoshoot around the city with a stunning backdrop of Spanish scenery. What’s not to love?

So, girls, grab your besties, get the bride involved and start choosing your destination. Spain is calling, the sangria is waiting and that hen weekend isn’t going to plan itself.
