A hen party in Var is the perfect cocktail of beach, refinement and intimate moments between friends. Most-requested setting: a sea-view villa, a Pampelonne or Bandol beach day, an in-villa spa moment, a polished dinner. The Mediterranean light, the warm sea, the Provençal villages — all the ingredients for a memorable weekend.
Our team has organized over 200 hen parties in Var. Every weekend, every group, every bride is different — that's the beauty of it. We work with you (the bridesmaids) to design a programme adapted to the bride's tastes, the group's age range, the budget, and the season.
Typical weekend (3 days/2 nights, 8-12 women, €450-700/person): villa with pool, day-cruise on private boat with lunch at anchor, in-villa spa Saturday evening (2 therapists for simultaneous massages), gastronomic dinner Saturday, brunch and beach Sunday. We adapt to your wishes.

Lead time and surprises
For successful coordination:
- Book 2-3 months ahead for July-August. 4-6 weeks in May-June and September.
- Last-minute (1-2 weeks): possible — we try our network.
- Surprise factor: we work entirely between bridesmaids and us. The bride only knows the time and date of departure.
- Theme: we adapt to the bride's tastes. Sporty, refined, party-focused, intimate — discuss with us early.
- Allergies / restrictions: tell us in detail. Each activity adapts.
