Sometimes you want to visit a beautiful seaside destination without having to get on a plane – and if that’s the case, then Woolacombe should be very high on your list of hen do destinations. This North Devon resort is full of holidaymakers in the summer months and provides all kinds of exciting activities for you to entertain yourselves.
In fact, there is some evidence to suggest that Woolacombe Hen Dos have been around for decades, being one of the first destinations where ladies would gather to have a weekend away from their ever-frustrating men. Even today, this destination is popular because of the combination of seaside beauty and relaxing atmosphere, which for many groups is a perfect marriage of ideals.
As far as accommodation goes, you’ll never be short of a bed or two. Being a holiday resort town means that this town has accommodation of all shapes and sizes. It doesn’t matter what your requirements are or what your budget may be, there will always be somewhere great for you to stay.
However, the best way to experience North Devon is by booking a private Hen Party House—especially one with a pool! We have an incredible selection of properties nearby that offer total luxury.
For large groups, we highly recommend Devon Barns. This large property features a swimming pool and hot tub, with a local pub just 200 yards away. If you want something with en-suite rooms, check out Devon Escape, which also boasts a pool and hot tub just 20 minutes from the beach. For a smaller, more intimate gathering, the rural Devon Hideaway sleeps 12 and is the perfect coastal retreat.
Just because Woolacombe’s reputation is of somewhere quiet, don’t assume that’s going to mean a lack of choice for your hen do activities. In fact, a Woolacombe Hen Do has more than sixty-five unique activities to choose from.
Given the location and scenery of the town, it is unsurprising that the most common activity booked for a Woolacombe Hen Do is Surfing. Woolacombe is a hub for surfing, and it’s therefore the most natural activity to book when you are on a hen do. It doesn’t matter if you are someone who has never surfed in your life, or if you’ve been on a board since you were a teenager, the tutors will ensure everyone has the best time.
If you prefer dry land, the Gin Cocktail Masterclass is always hugely popular. Given the huge resurgence that Gin has been going through, it makes perfect sense to specialise in this unique spirit. You’ll be taught by a trained mixologist how to whip up a great selection of gin cocktails, and you’ll get to drink them as well!
Another alternative is the relaxing activity of Body Painting. You and the girls will get to have a look at some designs and decide what would go well on you. Then you’ll get to sit back and relax with a drink or three while an incredibly talented artist makes you look like your very own piece of art.
We’ve already mentioned how Woolacombe being a destination that is tailored to holidaymakers means that it is very well equipped to provide you with a night out. Before you go drinking, it’s always a good idea to grab some food and line your stomach. Woolacombe has plenty of options here, with seafood and pub food being the two most common.
This town has a selection of absolutely amazing bars and pubs, all located within just a few minutes of each other, so rather than spend a large amount of your evening travelling from place to place, you can try out loads of options without having to walk very far at all.
