Hen Do Budget Calculator (2026 Prices)
Work out what your hen party will really cost per person before you book anything. Pick a destination, the number of nights and how many people are coming, and the calculator gives you a realistic per-person and total budget based on what our groups actually spend in 2026.
How the calculator works
Each destination carries three 2026 benchmarks: accommodation per person per night, food and drink per person per day, and the average cost of one organised activity such as a boat trip, beach club day bed or cocktail class. Flights are entered separately because they swing more than anything else depending on your airport and how early you book.
Average 2026 hen party costs by destination

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Benidorm | €95 | €45 | €55 | €585 |
| Krakow | €90 | €40 | €50 | €540 |
| Valencia | €115 | €55 | €70 | €720 |
| Madrid | €125 | €60 | €80 | €795 |
| Mallorca | €135 | €65 | €85 | €855 |
| Barcelona | €145 | €70 | €95 | €930 |
| Amsterdam | €150 | €75 | €95 | €960 |

| Ibiza | €195 | €95 | €140 | €1290 |
Five ways to cut the per-person cost
- Move the dates. May, June and September cost 25–40% less than late July or August for the same weekend.
- Apartments over hotel rooms. From ten people up, two or three apartments almost always beat five twin rooms.
- Book activities before accommodation. Boat trips and beach club tables for peak Saturdays sell out first and get more expensive as they fill.
- One organiser, one deadline. Split payments across ten people and you lose the group rates.
- Pick a direct flight. A cheaper city with a connection usually ends up costing more once transfers and a lost afternoon are counted.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a hen party abroad cost per person in 2026?
Between €280 and €750 per person for three nights including flights. Benidorm and Krakow sit at the bottom of that range, Ibiza and Marbella at the top, and most Spanish city breaks land around €400–500.
Who normally pays for the bride?
In most UK and Irish groups the bride’s share is split between the rest of the group, which adds roughly 8–12% per person in a group of ten to thirteen. Add that on top of the calculator result if that is your plan.
How much spending money should each person bring?
Around €50–80 per day on top of pre-paid accommodation and activities in Spain, and €30–45 in Krakow.
Is it cheaper to book activities as a group?
Yes. Boat trips, beach clubs and classes are priced per person but usually drop 10–20% from eight or ten people, and many venues only hold a peak Saturday slot for a single group booking.
