1. Location, Location, Location
First things first – think about the location. Whether you're planning a city break, a countryside retreat, or a beach getaway, make sure the accommodation is close to your chosen activities. No one wants to spend half the night figuring out transport! Check the distance from key spots like restaurants, bars, and activities to keep travel time minimal and fun time maximized.
2. Space for the Whole Squad
Hen parties come in all sizes, from intimate getaways to full-on party weekends. Choose accommodation that comfortably fits your group – both in terms of sleeping arrangements and communal spaces. Whether it’s a cosy cottage or a spacious villa, make sure there’s enough room for everyone to relax, get ready, and – most importantly – have a good gossip!
3. The Vibe and Aesthetic
Let’s be honest, half the fun is snapping some Insta-worthy photos! Choose a place with a stylish, beautiful vibe that matches your hen party theme. Think rustic cottages with fairy lights for boho brides, or chic apartments with modern decor for city hens. A stunning backdrop makes those group photos even more memorable!
4. Amenities and Extras
Little touches make a big difference. Look for places that offer those extra perks like a hot tub, a well-equipped kitchen, or even a private garden. Some venues offer party packages with decorations or prosecco on arrival – perfect for kicking off the celebration in style. Check if there’s enough seating, mirrors (a must!), and enough bathrooms to avoid any morning chaos.
5. Hen-Approved Facilities
It might sound boring, but double-check the practical stuff too. Parking, Wi-Fi, and late checkout options can make or break your weekend. Always read reviews to see what other hen parties had to say, and don’t hesitate to message the host with any specific questions.
6. Budget-Friendly Options
While luxury can be tempting, it’s important to stay within budget. Split costs among the group and factor in any additional charges like cleaning fees or damage deposits. Often, booking directly with the venue can save on third-party booking fees – just make sure you’re still protected by their cancellation policy.
Final Thoughts
Choosing the right accommodation sets the tone for the whole weekend, so take your time and do a little research. Keep your group size, vibe, and budget in mind, and you’ll find the perfect spot to make your hen party unforgettable!
Happy planning!
