The Ultimate Hen Party Guide to Mallorca
From cocktail masterclasses and hip beach clubs, to some of the island’s not-so-sophisticated party hotspots – and a much-needed pampering the morning after – there are plenty of ways to give a bride the ultimate send off in Mallorca. The easy part is partying with the hens, the more difficult may be remembering where you left your handbag. Just remember: What happens in Magaluf, stays in Magaluf…
BH Mallorca
One of the most electric nights (or days) to be had on the island is at BH Mallorca, a hotel that happens to have a huge outdoor stage, an adults-only waterpark and a lively beach club. With a packed summer schedule, this is one of the best places to catch internationally renowned DJs, and experience live music from the chart topping likes of Tinie Tempah, Craig David, Chase and Status, David Guetta and Steve Aoki. The atmosphere here is buzzing, with an amazing sound system, light displays and fireworks to boot. Alternatively, head here for a bit of Sunday daytime partying and dance in your bikini around the pool with a friendly, up-for-it crowd.
Pampering Spa Day
Whether you want a pamper day to get yourself party-ready, or you need to soothe your weary feet after the night before, unwinding for a day at one of Mallorca‘s top luxury spas is a hen party essential. The Talise Spa, part of the five-star Jumeirah Hotel, is built into the cliffs above the Port of Sóller and is bound to impress. After one of the many beauty treatments on offer, head to the outdoor infinity hydrotherapy pools, chilled Cava in hand, and admire the breathtaking mountain and port views. If heady saunas and eucalyptus steam rooms are more your thing, the candlelit and intimate Hammam Arab Baths in Palma may be more appealing.
Magaluf
No worthy hen party is truly complete without a day spent in the lively resort of Magaluf. Splash out on a VIP group Bali-bed and drinks package at shorefront Nikki Beach Club or Oceans Beach Club for a day partying with your whole group. The music is loud, the people are pretty and the pool is equally inviting. A pop-up Vaker Mallorca hairdressers is also onsite throughout the summer season at Nikki Beach to keep the girls happy with blow-drys and haircuts by talented stylists. As sophisticated day turns to raucous night you’ll all be prepped, primed and sufficiently sauced to hit the strip in style.
Cocktail Masterclass
Head to the popular Stereo Bar in Magaluf for a spot of team bonding and a sure fire way to get things going. Spend 90 minutes with the girls rustling up your favourite Cosmos and Mojitos under the guidance of the bar’s resident mixologist. With a welcome glass of Cava, a few cheeky shots and a discounted VIP table at the club thrown into the mix, there are bound to be a few sore heads the next morning.
Beach Clubs
Spend a luxurious day lounging at one of the island’s more remote and sophisticated beach clubs. Purobeach boasts two locations on the south coast, both gorgeously designed with chic clean lines and white beach beds under sheer canopies. Dip in and out of the black tiled pool, enjoy some ambient music from the DJ booth and indulge in cocktails to your heart’s delight. Similarly, Gran Folies is an easy place to enjoy yourself for a whole afternoon in the blazing sunshine. The club’s exclusive bayside location offers spectacular views of Cala Llamp’s turquoise waters whilst chilling on Bali-style sun loungers around a lovely refreshing pool.
Palma Bar Crawl
Why not spend an unforgettable night cruising around one of the hottest cities in the Med with your hens in tow. Start off the evening in true Spanish style along the tapas route in the Sa Gerreria district, tucking in to some local nibbles whilst sipping on vermouth aperitifs. As the sun goes down, work your way towards the trendy Santa Catalina area where the crowds spill out of the lively bars along Calle Magi. If your heels can handle the walk, finish off on the dancefloor of the super swish Tito’s nightclub along the Paseo Maritimo.
