Marbella
Golden beaches meet glamorous nightlife on Spain's most sophisticated coast where luxury feels effortless and celebrations flow seamlessly from day to night. Marbella delivers Costa del Sol charm with style.
Marbella is where Costa del Sol glamour meets sophisticated luxury — Spain's ultimate destination for hen celebrations that demand both style and substance. This is the playground for those who appreciate the finer things: golden beaches with exclusive beach clubs, Puerto Banús offering world-class shopping, and sunsets that feel like VIP experiences. The city strikes that perfect balance between traditional Andalusian charm and international luxury destination. Marbella's beach club scene rivals Saint-Tropez, while the old town offers authentic Spanish culture that grounds the luxury in genuine local character.

HOTEL
The Golden Mile and Puerto Banos operate on different schedules - Golden Mile beach clubs peak 2-8pm, while Puerto Banos nightlife doesnt start until 11pm. The luxury villa shortage means groups often split between multiple smaller properties. Book restaurant tables at Puerto Banos for 10pm - any earlier and you dine alone.
Marbella’s chicest beach club, where day beds turn into sunset sessions. Think flowing white curtains, live sax, and lobster pasta for lunch. You’ll want to dress up.
La Plage Casanis
Loud, glam, and unapologetically Marbella. Book a VIP bed, sip giant mojitos, and enjoy the DJ-led day party. Bridal bikini and oversized sunglasses? Essential.
NAO Pool Club
Charter a catamaran or yacht for the ultimate “just us girls” moment. Swim stops, cava, sunset views — it’s luxury in motion. Ask for the party playlists.
Marbella Private Boat Charter
Beachy and boho with incredible food and a side of tequila. More relaxed than Nikki Beach but just as stylish. Great as a Saturday warm-up.
Day Activities

Spanish dining is a little different. Lunch happens at 2pm, dinner never before 9pm, and the evening aperitivo is sacred. Embrace the rhythm, and you'll dine like locals rather than tourists.
Liverpool's evening energy is infectious in the best possible way. The night begins with cocktails in venues where music history lives in every brick, continues through bars where every local has a story to tell, and peaks in clubs that understand celebration better than anywhere else in the UK. This is a city that treats every hen night like it's the most important party happening that evening.
Something Different
Night Activities
Your evening starts with champagne at Puerto Banús where superyachts provide the backdrop, continues through exclusive venues where dress codes are taken seriously, and culminates in clubs where bottle service is standard and the energy is intoxicating.

Nikki Beach
Late-night cocktail club with live acts, DJs and golden interiors. Marbella's answer to Soho House — moody, vibey, and surprisingly intimate.
Enzo at Mogli
For a barefoot-on-the-sand vibe. DJs play until late, and the energy is more chill than clubby. Come here for the final night wind-down.
Sonora Beach
About 25 mins from Marbella but worth the trip for its Mediterranean views and luxe beach bed vibes. Great for a day-to-night crossover.
