My Marbella Hen Do

Last week I got back from the most amazing 4 days on my hen do in Marbella. I had the best time and wish I could go back and do it all again! (Beware - this is a picture heavy post!)

I've been a few times before with my family, so we decided to go back as we knew the area has great restaurants and even better nightlife. When we used to go, we always stayed at the H10 Andalucia Plaza, but it recently underwent a huge refurbishment so it was great to see it updated. I would really recommend this hotel, it is adults only - which I thought may mean it was full of stag and hen parties - but this isn't the case. There was a real mixture of couples, older groups, golfers, young friends getting away for a mini-break so this made for a great atmosphere. We booked for bed & breakfast, and you really can't fault the selection of food on offer. Plus it is only a ten minute walk to Puerto Banus with the designer shops, super yachts and flash cars.

We arrived early Wednesday morning, so got straight on the sunbeds and started on the Mojitos!

Wearing my favourite Miu Miu sunglasses & new Accessorize straw trilby

My black kimono is H&M and the sliders are River Island at ASOS along with my Michael Kors watch!

That night we were booked in for Hard Rock Cafe - one of my favourite restaurants! We booked a few weeks before we left in case it was busy, but the restaurant was almost empty.

Here are all us girls outside the restaurant.

Me in Puerto Banus about to start a surprise bar crawl organised by my sisters - loved playing dress up too!

I wore a really nice jumpsuit that I'd bought the previous week from Next. I loved it as soon as I saw it on the mannequin in the window! You can purchase the same here for £42. My necklace is from Accessorize that I'd bought at the airport before we flew.

We ended up in Linekers bar where we had a booth & champagne and this really sweet banner hanging up!

My sisters & I plus Sam!

The next day we were up early for breakfast, more sunbathing and of course, more cocktails. 

Anneka & Sam paid for me to have a wash & blowdry at the hotel's hair salon, and it was incredible. I love a big curly blowdry and it was so nice to be pampered whilst I was away - thank you girlies!

We'd decided to eat at a gorgeous Moroccan restaurant called Mosaik then after that we had a booth booked at AqwaMist nightclub. We paid 500euros for the booth, which included a magnum of Belvedere vodka, 2 bottles of champagnes plus mixers. Split between ten of us it was really good value for money so I'd tell anyone to do this. The music was brilliant in there as well. 

Anneka & Me at the hotel bar before going to AqwaMist - Anneka looked so cool in a crop & knicker shorts with this long crochet top over!

My dress is from ASOS which I had purchased a few months ago for £17.50! Such a bargain and I had so many comments on it. I teamed it with my Topshop 'Ratchet' sandals, I got those in the sale too for £16! They go with everything as well, plus the heel is chunky so they are really easy to walk in.

Starting to look a bit worse for wear here! My clutch is New Look from last year.

My sisters & I, they are also my only bridesmaids at the wedding - I love this photo and both of the girls outfits!

I was one of 3 girls left standing - we left the club at 6am, then went back to our hotel room for a champagne & strawberry breakfast!

Sam looked gorgeous in this blue number

I spent the rest of that day in bed, which was fine as it was cloudy! Then for our last supper we had dinner booked at Infushia, and they put us on the guestlist for Tibu nightclub. After dinner and before the club we went to the strip to have some cheap cocktails, and met a group of (old!) golfers who ended up joining us for a dance at the club, it was hilarious!

Here are two of the golfing guys partying with us - we stole their high vis jackets!

My outfit on the last night was a pair of Topshop joggers which I had from last summer paired with a cami also from Topshop. I wore my sliders out that night because I adore them and are so comfortable, you can buy online now in silver here as the white has sold out!

I was really sad to leave Marbella, all the girls had made such an effort to make sure I had a wonderful time, I really can't thank them enough for giving me an amazing trip. My Mumma came with her friend Teresa too, and I felt bad that I didn't get much time to speak to them - but I love you : )

Would love to hear your comments!
