Mid-Range Marbella Hen Weekend Itinerary: Boat, Beach Club & Villa From £561 Per Person
- Jun 20
- 12 min read
The mid-range Marbella hen weekend is the one the cost guide describes as the range where most groups land — and it earns that description. At £560-600 per person for 3 nights you get a private villa in Puerto Banús, a private boat on the Mediterranean, a Sunday at Kova Beach Club with four hours of bottomless cocktails, and a proper VIP night at Linekers. Nothing is cut, nothing is an afterthought. This is the weekend done properly.
Two scenarios below — one for groups of 12 in Villa Solara, one for groups of 15 in Villa Aurelia. Different villas, different group sizes, different boats — both landing at the same price point. Every figure is from a real client proposal.
If you want to see how this weekend looks at a lower spend, the budget itinerary covers groups of 16-22 from £291pp with a villa party format. For the full picture on planning a Marbella hen weekend from start to finish, that guide covers everything before you enquire.
What This Weekend Actually Looks Like
Before the numbers, it is worth being specific about what is in this itinerary and why each element earns its place. Four days in Puerto Banús, every day with a clear purpose.
Day 1 Friday — Arrival and Villa Evening
Private transfers from Malaga Airport to the villa are included in the villa price across both scenarios — no organising on arrival day, no shared coaches, your group picked up and delivered directly to the front door. Into the pool, unpack, get the drinks sorted. The Cheeky Butler BBQ runs from early evening — the butler arrives, fires up the grill and stays for the full meal. Beef burgers, marinated chicken, veg skewers, corn on the cob, coleslaw, potato salad, mixed salad, bread rolls and half a jug of sangria per person. Nobody in the group organises a thing. The villa is the event on arrival night.
Day 2 Saturday — Private Boat
The boat day is consistently the moment groups mention first when they look back on a Marbella hen weekend. Private charter, your group only, out on the Mediterranean for two hours.
Scenario 1 uses the Hen Party Catamaran departing from Benalmádena — a 40-minute drive with return transfers included in the quoted price. Up to 20 guests on board, welcome drink included, Bluetooth music, the whole catamaran to yourselves. Scenario 2 uses the VIP All-Inclusive Catamaran departing directly from Puerto Banús marina — drinks included throughout (beer, soft drinks, a bottle of prosecco or wine per hour), plus paddle surf, kayak and snorkel equipment. No transfers needed, ten minutes on foot from the villa. The departure point and what is included on board are the key differences between the two — the experience on the water is a brilliant afternoon either way.
Day 3 Sunday — Kova Beach Club
The Kova Sunday Bottomless Brunch is four hours of bottomless cocktails and mocktails, beer, cava, house wines and house spirits, plus hot and cold sharing dishes and a dessert selection. Reserved beds with table service throughout. DJ from midday. The venue is in Puerto Banús, a ten-minute walk from both villas. At £110 per person it is one fixed cost that covers the entire afternoon — no worrying about the bill at the end. Kova Sunday is available one day a week, which is exactly why the itinerary is structured around a Sunday.
After Kova the group heads back to the villa to get ready, then out to Linekers VIP for the evening — a roped-off area, personalised plasma screens with the bride's name and up to 15 photos, a dedicated male waiter, bubbly on arrival and €25 drinks credit per person. Sunday night at Linekers is livelier than most groups expect — the weekend crowd is still in Puerto Banús and the venue is full.
Day 4 Monday — Checkout
Morning at the villa, checkout by 11am, private transfers back to Malaga Airport included in the villa price. The group leaves with everything done and nothing outstanding.
WHY BOAT AND BEACH CLUB ON SEPARATE DAYS Grouping the boat on Saturday and Kova on Sunday means each activity gets its own day. Groups that try to fit both into the same day — a morning boat and an afternoon beach club — end up rushing both. A boat day followed by a beach club Sunday is the combination that most groups remember as the highlight of the whole weekend. |
Scenario 1: Groups of 12-15, Villa Aurelia, June
Villa Aurelia is a five-bedroom villa in Puerto Banús sleeping up to 15 people with extra beds — all proper beds, not fold-out beds — making it the right choice for groups of 12 to 15 who want to stay together under one roof without compromising on space. Part of the Aurora Collection, the villa sits in a private gated complex with direct beach access and two private swimming pools. Five bedrooms all en-suite, two floors, two terraces with Mediterranean views, marble floors, bluetooth sound system, fully equipped kitchen, outdoor dining area and BBQ already on site. Ten minutes on foot to the marina, beach clubs and nightlife.
The villa works particularly well for groups in the 13 to 15 range where a smaller villa would feel overcrowded. At 15 people the per-person villa cost comes down significantly compared to 12, which is why filling it to or near capacity is always worth encouraging.
The Numbers — Scenario 1 at 15 People
ITEM | COST PER PERSON |
Villa Aurelia — 3 nights, 15 people, June (inc. return transfers) | £307 |
Hen Party Catamaran — 2hr private charter (inc. return Benalmádena transfers) | £70 |
Kova Sunday Bottomless Brunch — 4hr bottomless cocktails + food | £110 |
Cheeky Butler BBQ — full meal, butler stays throughout | £48 |
Linekers VIP — roped-off area, plasma screen, €25 credit pp | £28 |
TOTAL per person | £563 |
Based on 15 people. Catamaran figure includes the 2hr charter at £48pp plus return transfers from Benalmádena at £22pp (£330 for the group divided by 15).
How the Cost Moves With Group Size — Scenario 1
ITEM | COST PER PERSON |
12 people — Villa Aurelia, June (inc. transfers) | £346 villa + £28 transfers = £374pp |
13 people — Villa Aurelia, June (inc. transfers) | £331 villa + £25 transfers = £356pp |
14 people — Villa Aurelia, June (inc. transfers) | £318 villa + £24 transfers = £342pp |
15 people — Villa Aurelia, June (inc. transfers) | £307 villa + £22 transfers = £329pp |
Villa cost includes transfers. Benalmádena transfer (£330 group cost) divided by group size shown separately. Full weekend total at each group size: 12 people = £602pp, 13 people = £584pp, 14 people = £570pp, 15 people = £563pp.
Scenario 2: Groups of 10-12, Villa Solara, May
Villa Solara is a four-bedroom villa sleeping up to 12 people, sitting in the same Aurora Collection complex as Villa Aurelia — same location, same gated complex, same ten-minute walk to Puerto Banús marina. Four bedrooms including two with king-size beds, four bathrooms plus a guest toilet, two private swimming pools, private garden, BBQ, two terraces with Mediterranean and mountain views, and a pool table in the living area. Two minutes on foot to the beach.
The key difference for Scenario 2 is the boat. At 12 people Villa Solara sits comfortably within the capacity of the VIP All-Inclusive Catamaran departing directly from Puerto Banús marina — no transfers to Benalmádena, no 40-minute drive, just ten minutes on foot from the villa to the marina and straight onto the boat. The catamaran includes drinks throughout — beer, soft drinks and a bottle of prosecco or wine per hour — plus watersports equipment. For a group of 12 this is the best boat product in the range.
May suits groups with inflexible dates or groups who prefer shoulder season — the venue is open, the weather is warm, and Puerto Banús has excellent atmosphere in May. The honest caveat: May books almost as fast as July and August for the popular villas and boats. It is not the cheaper option — it is just a different month with the same quality product. Book early.
MAY BOOKS FAST Villa Solara in May is in demand. If this scenario is the right fit for your group the earlier you enquire the better — popular dates in May are often gone six to nine months in advance. |
The Numbers — Scenario 2 at 12 People
ITEM | COST PER PERSON |
Villa Solara — 3 nights, 12 people, May (inc. return transfers) | £318 |
VIP All-Inclusive Catamaran — 2hr, departs Puerto Banús, drinks + watersports included | £57 |
Kova Sunday Bottomless Brunch — 4hr bottomless cocktails + food | £110 |
Cheeky Butler BBQ — full meal, butler stays throughout | £48 |
Linekers VIP — roped-off area, plasma screen, €25 credit pp | £28 |
TOTAL per person | £561 |
Based on 12 people. No Benalmádena transfer cost — VIP catamaran departs from Puerto Banús marina, ten minutes on foot from the villa.
How the Cost Moves With Group Size — Scenario 2
ITEM | COST PER PERSON |
10 people — Villa Solara, May (inc. transfers) | £352pp villa |
11 people — Villa Solara, May (inc. transfers) | £334pp villa |
12 people — Villa Solara, May (inc. transfers) | £318pp villa |
Full weekend total at each group size: 10 people = £595pp, 11 people = £577pp, 12 people = £561pp. VIP catamaran departs Puerto Banús — no transfer cost at any group size in this scenario.
What's Included in Each Activity — The Detail That Matters
This is the section most itinerary posts skip. Here is exactly what each experience includes so the value is clear before enquiring.
The Cheeky Butler BBQ — £48pp
The butler arrives at the villa, sets up and manages the grill from start to finish — and stays for the full meal, not just the cooking. The spread covers beef burgers, marinated chicken, veg skewers and corn on the cob alongside coleslaw, potato salad, mixed salad and bread rolls, with half a jug of sangria per person. Everything is set up, cooked and cleared by the butler. Minimum group size eight people. Brings your own food is not required. See the full Cheeky Butler experience.
The Hen Party Catamaran — £48pp (Scenario 1) + £22pp transfers
A private catamaran for groups of up to 20, departing from Benalmádena Marina around 40 minutes from Puerto Banús — return transfers are included in the quoted price. Captain on board, Bluetooth music, welcome drink for everyone on arrival (water, soft drink, beer or wine). The whole boat is yours. Groups can bring additional food and drinks on board if they want more than the welcome drink. Two hours on the Mediterranean. See the Hen Party Catamaran.
The VIP All-Inclusive Catamaran — £57pp (Scenario 2)
A private catamaran for up to 12 guests departing directly from Puerto Banús marina — ten minutes on foot from both villas, no transfers needed. Skipper and crew on board. Drinks included throughout: beer, soft drinks and a bottle of prosecco or wine per hour. Watersports equipment included: paddle surf, kayak, snorkel and fishing rods. Nibbles on deck — fruit, chips, olives and nuts. Two hours on the water with everything taken care of. See the VIP All-Inclusive Catamaran.
Kova Sunday Bottomless Brunch — £110pp
Four hours at Kova Beach Club with reserved beds and table service throughout. Bottomless cocktails and mocktails — Strawberry Mango Daiquiri, Sex on the Beach, Piña Colada, Tequila Sunrise, Aperol Spritz, Mimosa — plus house beer, cava, wines and spirits. Hot and cold sharing dishes included. Shared dessert selection. DJ from midday. One fixed cost per person covers the entire afternoon. Available Sundays only. One of the most consistently popular hen do experiences in Marbella — book early, particularly in May and June.
Linekers VIP Hen Party Bar — £28pp
A roped-off VIP area exclusively for your group, personalised plasma screens displaying the bride's name and up to 15 photos in landscape format, a dedicated male waiter throughout the evening, and bubbly on arrival with your first drinks purchase. €25 drinks credit per person to spend on any drink. Alternatively a premium bottle package is available for groups who want a set spirits selection. Available April to October. See the full Linekers VIP experience.
Optional Add-Ons — What Groups Typically Upgrade To
Both core scenarios land around £560pp. These are the most popular additions at this level, with real prices.
La Sala Restaurant Set Menu — £70pp
Three courses at La Sala by the marina in Puerto Banús — welcome cava, two courses and half a bottle of wine per person. A proper sit-down restaurant dinner for the group without the stress of booking for a large table yourself. Works well on Friday arrival evening instead of the Cheeky Butler BBQ, or as a separate dinner on Saturday before the night out. Minimum 10 people, pre-order required 6 weeks before arrival. See La Sala dining options.
Nude Life Drawing — £33pp (+ £5pp cava optional)
Comes to the villa — a near-naked male model, drawing materials provided, optional half bottle of cava per person. One hour, completely sociable, no artistic ability needed. Works well on Friday evening after the BBQ or on Sunday before Kova. At £33pp it is one of the most cost-effective villa entertainment options available. See Nude Life Drawing.
Boat Catering Add-On — from £18pp
Several catering options can be added to either boat. Grazing Boxes at £18pp include meats, cheeses, fruits and sweets. Paella & Bites adds a proper Spanish food option on board. Worth adding to Scenario 1 where the Hen Party Catamaran does not include food beyond the welcome drink.
What These Add to the Total
ITEM | COST PER PERSON |
Core scenario (either scenario, with Linekers) | £561-563 |
+ La Sala dinner (replacing BBQ on arrival night) | + £22 net (£70 dinner - £48 BBQ saving) |
+ Nude Life Drawing + cava | + £38 |
+ Boat catering (Grazing Boxes) | + £18 |
Total with all additions | ~£639-641 per person |
Swapping the Cheeky Butler BBQ for La Sala dinner adds £22pp net. Adding both Nude Life Drawing and boat catering takes the total to around £640pp — still within the upper end of mid-range.
Frequently Asked Questions About Marbella Hen Weekend Itineraries
How much does a mid-range Marbella hen weekend cost per person?
From £561 per person for 3 nights including a private villa with return transfers, a private boat, Kova Sunday Bottomless Brunch, a Cheeky Butler BBQ at the villa and Linekers VIP. That figure is for groups of 12 in Villa Solara in May. For groups of 15 in Villa Aurelia in June the same weekend is £563 per person. Both are real prices from real client proposals.
Is the mid-range Marbella hen weekend good value?
For what is included it is. Villa accommodation for 3 nights with airport transfers, a private boat on the Mediterranean, four hours of bottomless cocktails and food at Kova Beach Club, a catered BBQ at the villa and a VIP night at Linekers — in Puerto Banús, where everything is walking distance — works out to less than most groups pay for a weekend in Ibiza or Amsterdam at a fraction of the experience. The per-person cost also reduces as more people join, which is worth keeping in mind if the group is still forming.
Why is the Kova Sunday Bottomless Brunch only available on Sundays?
Kova runs the Sunday Bottomless Brunch package on Sundays only — it is a specific event format rather than their standard beach club offering. This is why both itineraries are built around a Friday arrival so Day 3 lands on Sunday. If your group is arriving on a different day of the week, Kova Beach Club On The Beach is available any day with VIP reserved beds and table service, at a lower per-person cost without the bottomless format.
What is the difference between the two boat options?
Scenario 1 uses the Hen Party Catamaran from Benalmádena — larger capacity (up to 20 guests), welcome drink included, group brings additional drinks, 40-minute drive with return transfers included. Scenario 2 uses the VIP All-Inclusive Catamaran from Puerto Banús marina — maximum 12 guests, drinks included throughout (beer, soft drinks, prosecco or wine per hour), watersports included, ten minutes on foot from the villa with no transfers needed. The VIP catamaran is the more premium product in terms of what is included on board. The Hen Party Catamaran is the right choice when the group is larger than 12.
How far in advance should we book a mid-range Marbella hen weekend?
For June dates, six to nine months is sensible for the villa and Kova Sunday Bottomless Brunch. For May dates, book even earlier — May is one of the most popular months for Marbella hen weekends and the best villas and boat slots go fast. The full booking timeline guide covers this in detail. Linekers VIP can typically be confirmed closer to the date but there is no benefit in waiting.
Can we change the activity on any day?
Yes — these are example itineraries, not fixed packages. Any activity can be swapped, added or removed. Some groups prefer a day activity like a cocktail masterclass instead of the boat. Others skip Linekers and book a restaurant dinner instead. We build every proposal around what your specific group wants — the itineraries here show what the mid-range weekend typically looks like, not what it has to be.
What is not included in these prices?
Flights to Malaga, personal spending above the included packages (additional drinks at Kova, Linekers spend above the €25 credit, shopping), and travel insurance. Return airport transfers to and from the villa are included in the villa price across both scenarios. Benalmádena transfers for the boat in Scenario 1 are included in the boat price.

Both villas are in Puerto Banús and everything in these itineraries is bookable through Marbella Hen Boutique. Send us your dates, group size and which scenario looks right and we will put a full proposal together within 48 hours. No commitment, no payment required to see the numbers.
