Bournemouth is a brilliant coastal option for a hen weekend, sandy beaches, a vibrant town centre and plenty of large houses available for group hire. Our mixologists cover Bournemouth, Poole and the wider Dorset area for private cocktail masterclasses at your accommodation.
Bournemouth has 7 miles of Blue Flag sandy beach, some of the finest on the South Coast, and a town centre that has grown into one of the South's most popular destinations for a big night out. The Triangle and Old Christchurch Road are the main nightlife strips. Westbourne, just west of the town centre, is Bournemouth's most characterful neighbourhood, an enclave of independent cafés, delis and boutiques that feels more like a village than part of a large coastal town. Poole Harbour, just to the west, is one of the largest natural harbours in the world.

Bournemouth Beach
Seven miles of pristine sandy beach stretching from Hengistbury Head to Sandbanks. The beach cafés, deckchairs and lifeguards make it one of the most civilised seaside experiences in the UK.
Sandbanks & Poole Harbour
Sandbanks has some of the most expensive real estate in the world, a narrow peninsula of beautiful sand between Poole Harbour and the sea. The Sandbanks beach is outstanding.
Westbourne Village
Bournemouth's most charming neighbourhood, independent coffee shops, delis, wine bars and boutiques on quiet residential streets. A brilliant hen morning before heading to the beach.
