Upmarket Weekends for High-class Hens


Planning your hen weekend in Spain? How does a short flight to a lush destination sound? You’ll still have the sun, but the fun will fall into the classy category and the scenery will be lush rather than desert-like, with pine carpeted mountains tumbling into rich, cobalt waters that sparkle in the sunshine. Just imagine: your Spain hen weekend with a difference on the Costa Brava.

If you’re the kind of girl who likes to spend quality time with your friends then you’re probably also the kind of girl who demands quality in everything else: especially on your hen weekend! If so, read on for Aunty Andrea’s top picks for the best refined and relaxing hen activities.


Hens on Horseback

Imagine cantering through peaceful, unspoilt forest; relax as your steed sweeps into the cooling shade amidst stately trees, where twilling birdsong is the only thing you’ll hear over the contented braying of your mount. Whether you’re an experienced rider or totally new to this wonderful experience, you and the girls will be in your element on this upmarket Costa Brava hen activity.

Cave Swimming Quest

Glass-like clear waters beckon as you dive off Aunty’s boat and follow a captivating torch lit passage into the enchantment of a real life smuggler’s cave which just decades ago was a hive of contraband activity. Exciting, enthralling and something totally different to anything you’ve done or will ever do anywhere else, Aunty’s cave swimming adventure will have you talking for months afterwards about the fascinating atmosphere and amazing sights you witnessed as you swam through this Costa Brava cave.

Scuba Diving Dream

There is a whole living empire of dramatically coloured fish and captivating sea life below the sublime waters of the Costa Brava, a place well recognised amongst seasoned scuba divers. If getting beneath the surface and taking in the breathtaking beauty that surrounds you is something that gives you goose bumps, ask Aunty about her special all inclusive hen scuba diving activity which has been especially designed for those of you who have always wanted to give this a go, but never took the leap.

Hot Air Ballooning

It’s up, up and away on this spectacular Costa Brava hen weekend activity to witness the truly stunning scenery of northeast Spain. If you’ve never been in a hot air balloon before you will literally be blown away by the experience; when do you ever get to witness a bird’s eye view like this with nothing but warm air between you and the view? As warming thermal currents caress your face, you’ll sweep gently over luscious tree tops and rugged mountains; watching the waves lap at hidden beaches you’d never have known were there and witnessing wild animals dart from forest thickets. And all of this followed by one of Aunty’s divine champagne breakfasts: what could possibly be better for your Spain hen weekend?

How about these upmarket Spain hen activities ladies: high class enough for you? Combine them with posh nosh and a heavenly hotel, all organised by Aunty of course, and you’ll be in hen weekend paradise: just where you deserve to be!

POSH NOSH, FANCY FROCKS AND PAMPERING HEN WEEKENDS ON THE COSTA BRAVA


Are you a stylish kind of girl who simply adores designer labels and spa treatments galore? Then your hen weekend in Barcelona awaits: and it’s set to be a super posh time!

Aunty Andrea also loves the finer things in life: shopping for handbags and shoes is one of them (much to her husband’s dismay) and being pampered in the best health spas Spain has to offer is another. Fancy a bit of this yourself? Then allow Aunty to make a few suggestions for destinations and venues that are a mere hour or so away from the UK…


Designer Dreams!

If you’re a hen that desires quality and designer labels then a Barcelona hen weekend is what you need. Barcelona is the ideal place to splash cash says Aunty; slip on your Jimmy Choos and head to the Roca Centre Village to add to your already exclusive collection. Whatever labels you are looking for, you will find them here; from Levis and Hugo Boss to La Perla, Burberry and Diesel. La Roca is possibly the chicest and hippest place to be!

Posh Nosh!

All that shopping can give a girl an appetite; time to refuel! And at La Roca, that’s really a walk in the park. Why not visit Café & Té, a delightfully traditional café where you can be tempted by custom made coffees and teas, together with sweet and sticky cakes, pastries, pancakes or one of the many indulgent ice creams available for that much needed sugar rush: it’s only what you deserve ladies!

If you’re craving a savoury snack then Andreu espai Gastronỏmic will present you with the ultimate Spanish deli experience. With their wide variety of delicious cheeses, additive-free hams, fresh salads and energy inducing pasta, you can be sure to tantalise your taste buds and indulge your need for a decent feed!

Looking for something more substantial? If you’re a lady of luxury then Sant Pau is the one place you have got to visit says Aunty. With no less than three Michelin stars and an exquisite reputation, you can be sure to have a dining experience to remember! This sumptuous Catalan restaurant specialises in mouth watering fish and seafood, all fresh and totally local. Read more!
