Planning a hen do in Malta for your bestie? You’re in the right place. Whether you’re after sun-soaked relaxation or cocktail-fuelled glam nights, Malta offers it all. You can also enjoy epic group adventures with Mediterranean style. Let’s explore the most fun things to do for a hen weekend. Some activities are quirky, and others are memorable, ensuring everyone will still be talking about them at the wedding.
1. Pamper & unwind by the pool
“First up, spa day please!” is a very valid hen party mantra. Malta boasts some gorgeous day-spas and resort pool clubs where you can soak, sip and sunbathe in style. According to one guide, a wellness & spa day ranks as one of the top hen party activities in Malta.
Pick a slick hotel in St Julian’s or Sliema with a rooftop pool. Start the morning with a mimosa brunch. Slip into robes. Get that signature “last carefree day” shot. Let the countdown to the big night begin.
2. Take to the waves: boat or sunset cruise
Nothing says “hen do in Malta” like gathering your crew on a yacht or catamaran. Drinks in hand, you can cruise into the sunset. The islands’ coastline makes for the perfect backdrop. One source points out that “private boat parties and sunset cruises” are a highlight for hen and stag groups.
Why it works: • Enjoy a sea breeze and stunning views. • Make swim stops in hidden coves. • Capture epic photo-ops, like matching swimsuits and “Bride tribe” floats.
Pro tip: Book early and ask for champagne included. You’ll thank yourself later.
3. Culture, cocktails & treasure hunts
Want a mix of chill and thrill? Blend sightseeing with some cheeky fun. Start with a stroll through the UNESCO-listed streets of Valletta. You can also visit the “Silent City” of Mdina. Then, pivot to a cheeky treasure hunt around the capital. One itinerary suggests this for hen parties.
Quote from one hen party planner: “It took me to parts of Valletta I hadn’t seen since I was a teenager.” The planner said that the bride loved every minute.
After exploring, shift into cocktail mode at a rooftop bar. Malta’s nightlife district of Paceville comes alive after dark — perfect for making memories.
4. Adrenaline fun for the bold bunch
If your bride-to-be is all about action, Malta delivers. Think quad-biking in Gozo, abseiling cliffs, snorkelling turquoise waters or even archery and laser tag. One activity list for hen parties includes all these.
Some quick wins:
- Book a quad track in Gozo to explore landscapes and sea views
- Try snorkelling around Comino’s Blue Lagoon for that natural WOW moment
- Consider a themed activity like a “spy mission” or escape room for laughs + bonding
5. Ultimate night out & club-crawl
Of course a hen do in Malta isn’t complete without a proper party night. Malta’s nightlife is legendary — clubs in St Julian’s, cocktail bars by the coast, beach clubs that go from chill to rave. One guide says Malta has “a variety of options … from high-energy nightclubs to chic beach clubs” for hen/stag groups.
Quote: “Malta really ratchets up the fun once the sun goes down.” – Activity guide
Pro tips:
- Start at a beach club for sundowners
- Head into Paceville for club action after midnight
- Pre-book a VIP table if you want to feel ultra special
6. Brunch, bubbly & beautiful bursary
Nothing says “let’s celebrate you” like a designated brunch and bubbly moment. Choose a seaside café for welcome brunch, floral backdrop or photo wall for the bride-to-be. One blog suggests starting your hen weekend with prosecco brunch & hotel welcome for maximum fun.
Keep the vibe easy: cut the to-do list. Sip, laugh, pop confetti and lean into those relaxing moments before the adventure takes over.
7. Mix with local flavour & hidden gems
Malta isn’t just party and beach — the island offers gorgeous views, craft malls, hidden coves and local food that’s delicious. For example, Mellieħa Bay is a gorgeous sandy beach where you can chill by day and party by night. Wikipedia
Add a twist:
- Visit a local wine-bar for a tasting session
- Shop at artisan crafts village for group souvenirs
- Use the ferry over to Gozo for a day of slower pace
