The bachelorette parties in Madrid do not have to be what we all have in mind: a continuous party that ends up being even a noise problem in the center of the cities. Although you will most likely end up enjoying the Madrid nightlife in its bars and clubs, you should have a detailed plan beforehand to surprise and have a good time with the bride-to-be.
From relaxation to learning something together, the options are many, but always take into account the tastes of the fiancée and all those who will be part of this moment of pure enjoyment, which always comes in handy to release the tension before the big day.
1. Ballet of Lights
If you don’t know what Ballet of Lights is… are you really living under a rock? It’s a series of shows that put classical dance in the spotlight. A very luminous one.
And the best part? That this experience can also be booked for groups and private events. You can organize your friend’s bachelorette party and personalize it: here all the info to organize something unforgettable.
2. The Jury Experience: become a juror for a day
In every group of friends there is someone who thinks she is the Sherlock Holmes of true crimes, who knows about judicial procedures and dreams of solving crimes. Well, now they have the perfect plan for their farewell: The Jury Experience.
This plan recently landed in Madrid and it is sweeping: you get right into a realistic trial, with actors, evidence and testimonies, and the public votes in real time to decide the verdict. The best part? Between each phase of the trial, you have time to debate with your friends (ideal for those who come up analyzing everything). Afterwards, everyone votes on their own, and if you add popcorn and a marathon of post-verdict comments… a great plan for a bachelorette party, especially for jurists and fans of Criminal Minds.
Neon Brush: paint your painting in the dark (and with a glass of wine in your hand).
This plan is already a classic: Neon Brush is the painting in the dark workshop that we’ve all heard of at some point. You paint a picture for the memory of the farewell, you have a glass of silly wine, you have a few laughs… And all this with the guidance of an expert artist, of course.
The funny thing is that you can adapt it to groups: imagine that the painting has something to do with the wedding or the bride, would you dare to set up a mini-exhibition on the wedding day with the works of art of the farewell? Or better yet, what happens at the farewell… stays at the farewell. What is certain is that you take home the painting and a memory that you will never forget.
4. Candlelight
If you are looking for an elegant, special plan with that magical touch that every bachelorette party deserves, Candlelight concerts are a safe bet. Imagine enjoying a live recital among friends -from Queen classics to soundtracks or current pop- in an intimate setting illuminated by hundreds of candles. A unique moment to toast, get excited and create memories before the big day.
5. Essential Flamenco
There is nothing more Spanish than flamenco, right? And if on top of that, the show takes place in a beautiful basement, with exposed brick and that authentic cave feel… you already have the perfect plan for a bachelorette party as the (unwritten) rules of these parties dictate.
At Essential Flamenco you have everything: dancing, singing, guitar, percussion… and depending on what the bride likes, you can choose: a pure flamenco show (a saco, seguirillas, bulerías…), another more focused on dancing, or the most enjoyable option for a bachelorette party: the immersive flamenco party. Music, hand clapping, art in abundance and that touch of olé.
6. Escape room
You are a great team, we have no doubt, but what if you put it to the test in an escape room? Of the many options that Madrid offers, The White Room is one in which players enter a room (apparently) without clues and from which you can only get out if you manage to decipher the final code. Adrenaline and team play: the unofficial definition of “bachelorette party”.
7. A gymkhana in Madrid
An escape room is not enough for you and you need the whole city? A gymkhana around Madrid is your best option. In the one offered by Monkey Donkey, you become detectives of a theft of a work of Goya. Solving the riddles and clues that you will find in the streets of the capital, you will have to get the stolen work, and find out who the thief was.
8. Immersive cocktail workshop: The Movida Madrileña
The plan is ideal for a bachelorette party: a private group of 16 people, with a workshop in petit comité (there is no shouting or uncontrolled open bar, it’s fine but fun), three cocktails inspired by La Movida (can you imagine one called ‘Alaska Punch’, another ‘Pedro Almodóvar Sour’ or a ‘Radio Tonic’?), snacks, prizes for the best looks (attention: hats and leopard score double points!).
9. Massages, spas… self-care for everyone.
This is the perfect plan for a small group that above all wants to lower the anxiety levels that a wedding can provoke. In this link you will find different experiences to enjoy, in company, a unique moment of self-care. Massages, spa hours, innovative techniques from the world of beauty…
10. The Jazz Room
In this house we are interesting girls. And what’s more interesting than a group of friends going to a live jazz concert? Indeed, nothing. A perfect plan for a good bachelorette party that shows like The Jazz Room make it easier to organize, because here you have to book a ticket in advance. Something that gives a lot of tranquility for those who are to have everything well tied.
11. Floral workshop
Having a good time with your group of friends and having a beautiful and useful experience for the bride is a three in one that a flower workshop can achieve. Some of the best-known flower shops in the city have occasional workshops, as is the case of Brumalis -contact the florist beforehand- or throughout the year, such as Sally Hambleton, which also offers a dinner after the workshop in the same space.
12. Karaoke session
Absolutely nothing can go wrong if you are with your friends in a karaoke in Madrid during your bachelorette party singing Dime by Beth. Probably the ultimate life goal.
In Madrid there are many options where you can book a private room, and among them one of the best known is Bam Karaoke Box. In the case of the one in Recoletos street it is possible to book rooms from 4 to 12; while the one in Luchana street has private spaces for 6, 8, 10, 15, 18 and 25 people.
13. Dinner with a show
If your way of getting rid of stress has always been with a group dinner and a few drinks afterwards, the union of both, with a show included, cannot be missing in the bachelorette party. Restaurants with shows are a growing trend in Madrid, either with drag theme , Arab inspirations or through an ode to enjoyment without excuse: here you eat, sing and dance. There are some classics like Corral de la Morería, with Michelin star and flamenco, or the mythical Gula Gula, but Arrogante, Maison Jaguar or Nômada bring freshness to the concept.
14. A private ceramics class
For brides (and friends of the bride) who really want to have a good time talking quietly while doing something different but without having to hire Cirque du Soleil, a ceramics experience is a perfect option. And in the case of Marta Cerámica even more, because it has private classes for groups of 2 to 16 people. A fun and quiet way to make a bachelorette party end with an unforgettable (and dishwasher safe) memory.
15. Wine tasting
Wine is part of our culture and it is always good to have more knowledge. A wine tasting combines culture and fun, even more so if you are going to continue the party. Wine bars have multiplied in the last year in Madrid, and some like Vinology, in the Salamanca neighborhood, are much more than just a wine bar.
In this link you can also find workshops, themed tastings and even wine sessions with live music.
16. An exclusive beauty party
Beauty parties are the best alternative to a classic bachelorette party if the best part of going out for a drink in the evening is doing your makeup together. The private event consists of reserving a space specialized in the beauty world for your group. In Madrid, stores like Benefit in the Salamanca neighborhood organize it for a minimum of 5 people and a maximum of 12.
Also beauty centers like My Little Momo, where you can have a manicure and pedicure, while they serve you a sweet and savory catering, cocktails and music to your liking.
17. A getaway in Madrid
Bachelorette parties, like weddings, require more and more planning and budget. And a nearby getaway is almost always among the possible options. Luckily, within the Community of Madrid there are places like Vereda del Cortijo, which in addition to having capacity for 18 people, has an exquisite French palace decoration, but with a rural touch and a large garden with pool.
Rural tourism and the wellness experience come together at Casa Rural y Spa La Graja. It is in Chinchón, one of the most beautiful villages of Madrid, so in addition to enjoying the space and the spa with your friends, you can also walk the streets of this town that has been the setting for the latest film by Wes Anderson.
