In charge of the hen do? You’re about to go down in history as the greatest chief bridesmaid of all time with our Magaluf hen do planning guide.
When you’re planning the perfect Magaluf hen do, one experience that consistently tops the list is the unforgettable Magaluf Boat Party – a lively daytime cruise with DJs, drinks, swim stops and non-stop party vibes that sets the weekend off right. For full details on tickets, schedules and what’s included, check out our definitive guide to the Magaluf Boat Party.
Magaluf, a resort on the stunning island on Majorca, is an elite choice for hen parties – it ticks every box.
Crazy nights, lazy beach days, fun activities, excellent vibes – what more could you want from a hen weekend?
Let’s get into it.
1. Visit at the right time of year
Knowing when to visit can make or break your hen.
Magaluf comes alive from May to September, with the peak party vibes happening around July and August. If you love to be in the heart of the action, go then.
If you prefer a great atmosphere that’s ever so slightly more chilled, May, June, and September are a great shout.
The main thing to know is that it’s not a year-round destination like Tenerife (which pretty much enjoys 365 days of sun) or Barcelona (where the party never ends!).
2. Book Magaluf hen party-friendly accommodation
Okay, so you won’t necessarily spend a lot of time there, but picking the right hotel matters. The last thing you want is a long taxi ride to the best bars or a “silence after 10pm” situation.
It can be tricky to find hotels that are stag and hen friendly, so we’ve put together a guide to the best Magaluf party hotels. It’s always best to double check reviews and policies though, as things can change!
As you’d expect, the most hen-friendly hotels are situated close to the Strip and offer fun extras like poolside DJs, happy hours, and easy access to pre-club events.
3. Plan a boat party
No hen do in Magaluf is complete without a boat party!
Cocktails flowing, DJs on deck, fresh paella, a swim stop in crystal-clear waters, and an unbeatable sunset backdrop. Seriously… this is about to be the most memorable day of your entire trip, hands down!
You’ll be in good company onboard the £5m luxury yacht – it’s been featured on Magaluf Weekender, Geordie Shore, and The Inbetweeners.
It runs seven days a week from April to October and it does sell out, so get your tickets in advance and start planning the fits!

4. Planned your hen weekend nightlife itinerary
Magaluf’s nightlife is legendary. The Strip is packed with bars, nightclubs, and themed nights. Must-visits include BCM Mallorca (one of Europe’s biggest clubs) and beach clubs like Nikki Beach where you can dance until sunrise.
Pre-book VIP tables or drinks packages to avoid the queues and keep it stress-free.
5. Hit up the best Magaluf beaches
When you’re not hitting the Strip, Magaluf’s beaches are the perfect place to recover and soak up the sun. Here are the best ones:
- Playa de Magaluf – almost a kilometre of golden sand, turquoise water, and lots of bars, loungers, and watersports.
- Palma Nova beaches – Palma Nova is the neighbouring resort and has three main beaches, Playa de Palmanova, Playa Son Matias, and Playa Es Carregador.
- Cala Vinyes or Son Caliu – quieter, more relaxed vibes while still being close to the action.
6. Plan some other activities in Magaluf
It’s not all about the nights out. Plan some daytime activities too, like:
- Beach clubs – delicious cocktails and sunbeds by the pool? Yes please.
- Water parks – blow off some steam at Katmandu or the wild west-themed Western Water Park.
- Spa day – treat the bride to some pamper time before a big night out.
7. Throw in some hen party extras
It’s not a hen without those little extras, like matching slogan T-shirts, masks of the groom’s face, themed fancy dress, or fun party games for the bride.
8. Keep it stress-free
Magaluf is built for partying, so don’t stress too much – it’s all there waiting for you.
Book your accommodation, flights, and a couple of activities (like the boat party and a club night) in advance, then leave some room for spontaneity.
9. Soak up the sunset
We highly recommend taking time out from partying to soak up an incredible Magaluf sunset – those are the moments that stay with you long after touching back down in the UK.
You can bask in the golden hour at our Sunset Boat Party, or check out these other stunning Magaluf sunset spots.
