What is it that you really want from a Hen Do? Do you want relaxation? A beautiful beach with some beautiful scenery? How about some scorching sun and all the sangria you can stomach? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then you are the sort of person who would absolutely love the beachside beauty of a Benalmadena Hen Do.
One of the Costa Del Sol’s most popular destinations, Benalmadena has been growing in popularity as a hen do destination for years. It has the perfect balance of conveniently located accommodation, beautiful weather, and enough entertainment to please even the fussiest of hen parties. Located just down the coast from Malaga and Torremolinos, it offers a slightly more sophisticated but equally lively alternative to its neighbours.
To make planning your weekend easier, we have curated exclusive packages that combine the best activities with accommodation.
1. The "Party on the Waves" Package
This is the ultimate way to experience the Costa Del Sol. It includes 2 nights in central accommodation, return airport transfers, and tickets to the legendary
Party Boat. You'll enjoy a sunset cruise with music, drinks, and a swim stop. It is the perfect way to kick off your celebration.

We’ve already mentioned that the accommodation is always brilliantly located, ensuring that you are nice and close to the Marina or the nightlife square. But what types of accommodation are there for you?
The good news is that there’s plenty of choice. For most groups, the perfect option tends to be Apartments. These usually sleep at least four of you in each unit, giving you plenty of living space to relax between beachside sessions. They are often located near the marina, meaning you can walk to the bars in heels without needing a taxi.
Other options are available, of course. If you are looking for something a bit more luxurious, we can arrange a posh 4-Star Hotel with a spa. Or, for the ultimate experience, book one of our Luxury Villas in the hills, offering total privacy and stunning views over the coast.
There are so many popular activities to choose from. Obviously, being on the Costa Del Sol, the watersports options are huge – none more so than the Catamaran Cruise. This will see you and the girls relaxing on one of the poshest boats you’ve ever seen, with a drink in hand, enjoying the views and the boiling hot sun.
Alternatively, if you’d really like to embrace the Spanish culture, why not book a Salsa Dancing Lesson? Take to the dancefloor to see which of you has the best moves and sultriest posture to infuse this passionate dance with the atmosphere it deserves.
Another popular option is the Waterpark. Famous for its adrenaline-inducing slides, this destination will keep you enthralled while keeping you cool in the Spanish sun. Other activities often added to packages include Cocktail Making (a perfect hen do activity wherever you are), Fly Boarding for the daring, and the Buggy Safari for those who want to explore the mountains behind the coast.
In the evening, you’ll be spoilt for choice. A night out on a Benalmadena Hen Do can incorporate so many different things. Whether you want to go to a nice restaurant at the Marina to eat fresh seafood or just grab a quick bite before painting the town red, the options are varied.
Then you can head out to some of the most high-energy bars and clubs you’ve ever visited. The centre of the action is 24 Hour Square (Plaza Solymar), which is packed with bars, clubs, and late-night venues. It’s loud, lively, and perfect for a big night out.
One of the most popular options included in any package tends to be a Guided Bar Crawl. Exploring a new town is always better with a local expert. They will show you the best places to drink, arrange a free shot or two, and ensure your night concludes at one of the popular nightclubs where you can dance until the sun comes up.
Flights to the region are plentiful, available from more than twenty UK airports. Getting to Malaga Airport (the closest airport to Benalmadena) is nice and easy.
Once you arrive, the transfer to Benalmadena takes less than twenty minutes by train or taxi. We highly recommend including Airport Transfers in your package for a seamless door-to-door experience. It means you can be sipping sangria by the pool within an hour of landing!
A Benalmadena Hen Do offers great value for money, plenty of sun, sea, and sand, and a welcoming atmosphere.
