The Case for Skipping the Hen’s Party and Booking a Wellness Retreat Instead

Swapping shots for soul-time might be the best decision you make

We’re not against a cheeky champagne – but if the idea of a big night out, heels you can’t walk in, and matching sashes makes you cringe… you're not alone.

More and more brides (and grooms!) are choosing to skip the traditional hen’s weekend and instead book a wellness retreat with their inner circle.

Here’s why it’s the move:

1. It sets the tone for a conscious, calm transition into marriage

Instead of chaos and hangovers, you’re nourishing your body and soul.

2. It’s actual quality time

Yoga, deep chats by the pool, morning beach walks – it's a proper bonding experience with the people who matter.

3. You arrive at your wedding feeling incredible

Not bloated, tired, or in recovery mode.

At Bridal Glow, we offer 7-day luxury retreats at CHIVA-SOM in Thailand – open to solo brides, couples, or bridal parties who want something deeper. Think nourishing food, spa treatments, guided mindfulness, and movement sessions.

So if your idea of pre-wedding bliss is less tequila and more turmeric lattes in a luxe robe – you’re our kind of bride. Contact our team to book or enquire.
