Albufeira hen do

It's time for a hen party in Albufeira!

Big enough to get fantastically lost in the maze of cobbled streets, but small enough to hop from bar to beach to bistro in a matter of minutes, an Albufeira hen do easily leads the laid-back way as one of GoHen's favourite picks in Europe.  With more hours' sunshine per year than California, over 200km of glorious sandy beaches and crystal clear seas just a stone's throw from your accommodation, hen weekends in Albufeira are about as close to paradise as you can get!  Fun-packed days melt into mellow evenings, castle towns give way to glitzy marinas and when darkness falls over Albufeira, the heady mix of classy, chic and super-club makes for some of the liveliest nightlife on the continent!  And the great news, girls - it's all just a two hour flight from English shores!

Why celebrate with an Albufeira hen party?

Well... there are the shoes for starters...!  Not only is Albufeira stonkingly famous for its balmy climate, chilled-out way of life and stunningly beautiful surroundings, but Europe's sunniest locale proudly boasts to anyone who'll listen that 'Portuguese shoes are the sexiest in Europe'!  And considering Rihanna's superb collections have walked the world from their Portuguese roots, we think they might be onto something!  But step outside the fashion boutiques, ladies, and you'll soon see why Albufeira is a favourite holiday haunt of celebs the world over.  Spend lazy days on the beach, crazy nights in the lively clubs (don't forget VIP Nightclub Entry and skip the queues), shop till you drop among the vibrant market stalls and let your hair down with fun and frolics on the water!  And when it's time to rest sleepy heads, your luxury accommodation in Albufeira is just a few minutes away from that final cocktail beneath the stars.

Albufeira hen party adventures...

The fantastic fusion of chic, calm, crazy and impossibly cool that makes Albufeira so universally popular offers up an incredible selection of hen do activities in Albufeira to fill your Albufeira hen do days.  Banana boats and ringos always promise a few giggles out on the water (leave your dignity back at the hotel though, girls!) and nothing says luxury like a glass of vino on the deck of a suitably sleek yacht.  Portugal has acres of lush greenery, mountain trails and dense woodland to explore, so why not take the muckiest route possible (of course!) with a mud buggy safari, before heading to the spa to unwind in style?  And if you're looking for that something extra special for your fab bride-to-be, then a dolphin cruise has to be one of the most magical experiences you'll ever be privileged enough to enjoy.  Laid-back, action-packed or downright classy, hen weekends in Albufeira have it all!

Shopping in Albufeira

Between traditional open-air markets, funky beach stores, quirky boutiques and whopping great malls full to the brim with the mainstream brands we all know and love, you'll have plenty of opportunity to indulge in some well-earned retail therapy on your Albufeira hen do!  The Forum Algarve at Faro and Algarve shopping centre in Guia each boast a fantastic selection of high street names like Mango, Zara and H&M, as well as an abundance of restaurants and cafés perfect for you to regroup over a quick bite to eat.  But the jewel in the modern shopping crown has to be the impressive Aqua Portimao. With an incredible 35,000 square metres and well over 100 shops to explore, we're pretty sure you won't be leaving empty-handed! 

Where Albufeira hen parties head after dark...

From Montechoro's infamous 'strip', packed to the hilt with some of the region's liveliest bars and clubs, to the vibrant waterfront at Albufeira, glamorous Vilamour marina and cobbled streets of Old Town, Albufeira hen nights can be as big and bold, or chic, classy and chilled-out as you like!  Beachside bars, buzzing clubs, cocktail lounges, gourmet cuisine - when balmy evenings give way to cool Portuguese nights, you'll have the pick of a brilliantly friendly, diverse and dazzling nightlife.  Why not raise a final bubble-filled glass with a delicious slap-up meal at one of the region's finest eateries?  Or get glammed-up to the nines, put your best poker face on and head to the casino for some glitzy high-rolling fun?  Enjoy VIP access to the hottest clubs in town with our fab q-jump priority, dance till dawn to fresh summer sounds and sip cocktails under warm starry skies.
