A bachelorette party is a rite of passage for brides-to-be across the globe. It symbolizes the soon-to-be Mrs’ last time being “free” before she gets tied down with her old ball-and-chain. It’s also an excellent way for the celebrant and her nearest and dearest to enjoy some quality time together and just cut loose and unwind (something that’s very much needed with all the stress that surrounds wedding planning!)
Whether you’re in charge of planning a bachelorette party for that special lady in your life or you’re the one who is tying the knot, here’s a look at some ideas that are sure to be a hit with you and your squad.
Glamp it Up!
Camping can be great, but spending a night or two in the great outdoors, covered in dirt and surrounded by bugs, isn’t exactly a luxe way to have that last big hurrah before the big day. Instead of camping, go glamping!
Get your gal pals together and pitch a few tents in the wilderness. There are some seriously high-end tents on the market nowadays, complete with private rooms and camping spots that offer access to luxurious amenities, such as spas and hot tubs.
If pitching your own tents doesn’t sound like fun, check out some of the amazing glamping destinations throughout Australia. Stay in a Yurt in the native bushland of New South Wales, spend a night or two (or even more) in a luxurious self-contained safari tent in Queensland, or enjoy the ultimate in pampering while being surrounded by nature in a high-end cabin in the heart of the Northern Territory.
Glamping is a great way to spend some time with the ladies before getting hitched, whether you’re pitching your own tents or staying in a luxury cabin. You can gain an appreciation for Australia’s natural beauty while creating memories with your best girlfriends that will last a lifetime.
Enjoy Total Luxury
If glamping isn’t your style, consider taking a getaway to a luxurious villa instead. There are numerous Australian villas to choose from, ensuring you’ll find one that suits your taste. From villas with private bedrooms and balconies with sweeping views of the Sydney Harbour to expansive houses with several private bedrooms, bathrooms, and tons of amenities tucked away in private settings, you’ll be sure to find a villa that will suit your fancy.
Luxury villas are outfitted with the highest-end furnishings and exquisite amenities. For example, you could enjoy a pool party with your crew in a villa that’s equipped with its own private swimming pool or treat yourselves to some pampering by hiring masseurs and having them give everyone in the crew full-body massages.
When the pampering ends, get dolled up and hit the town to enjoy dinner, drinks, and dancing with your best lady friends. Many of the private villas are situated within walking distance of the country’s most popular attractions.
Tour Wine Country
If wine is your forte (and even if it’s not), why not spend a bachelorette party at a winery (or two or five…)?
Australia is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the world. Take a limousine tour of wine country in Barossa in South Australia. Taste exquisite wines made from some of the oldest grape vines on earth. Tour scenic vineyards and learn the wine-making process firsthand. Sample white, red, blush, and any wine that delights your taste buds.
Capture perfect party photos with stunning countryside views as your backdrop. Celebrate in Clare Valley, known as Australia’s Riesling Capital—just a short drive from Adelaide. Explore Queensland’s Granite Belt Wine Country for a cozy, charming experience.
Visit Margaret River in Western Australia for rich wines and breathtaking coastal landscapes. A wine-filled day or weekend with close friends is the perfect way to honor the bride.
Enjoy Thrills and Chills
If your gal pal squad is more of the adventurous type, you’ll find plenty of thrilling (and maybe chilling) activities in Australia!
Whether you’re a native Aussie or you’re here visiting our beautiful country, consider exploring the Great Barrier Reef. Even if you’ve been a dozen times before, there’s always something new to experience. Get some scuba or snorkeling gear and get up close and personal with this amazing underwater wonderland. Hop on a glass-bottomed boat and take in the stunning sights while staying dry, or rent paddleboards or kayaks and paddle around the crystal-clear waters.
For thrill-seekers who love heights, head to Mission Beach and go skydiving with your ladies. Skydiving opportunities abound in this area, and the views are nothing short of awe-inspiring. And of course, the experience will surely be one that you and your ladies will never forget. You could also rent some 4x4s and go off-roading on Fraser Island or spelunking in one of the countless caves found all over Australia!
If a high-adrenaline, adventure-filled bachelorette party is what you’re after, you will find no shortage of opportunities in Australia!
Let Loose at a Music Festival
Australia boasts amazing music festivals—perfect for celebrating a bride-to-be in unforgettable style. Top picks include Splendor in the Grass (Byron Bay), Woodford Folk Festival (Brisbane), and Rainbow Serpent Festival (Lexton). Whether you love indie, folk, or electronic, there’s a festival that matches your musical and cultural vibe.
