This must be the most unique Hen Weekend in the UK - if you really want to impress the Bride and her friends then why not choose our Scottish Island Hen Weekend?

Set on the spectacular Isle of Arran on the West Coast of Scotland this is the ultimate "get away from it all" weekend. Arran is known as "Scotland in miniature" due to its spectacular mountains, deep glens and diverse countryside which has made it one of the world's most natural adventure playgrounds. It's also home to a delightful Spa Resort and the famous Arran Aromatics brand. Being Scotland's most southerly island, Arran is easily accessible from Glasgow and, for those travelling from the south, Prestwick Airport.

This package provides you with 2 nights lodge accommodation in the capital of Brodick with its fantastic views of Goatfell, the island's highest mountain, along with entry to a 4 Star Spa and Leisure Club, a 3 hour Powerboat tour of the island and return transport to and from Arran by 440 hp Powerboat.

Your accommodation for the weekend will be a 4 Star Lodge located at the island's only Spa and Leisure Resort, just a short walk from Brodick Bay and its views over the Firth of Clyde. Brodick has many lively pubs and restaurants and we will advise you on the best places to eat and drink for your time here. This package is based on 2 people sharing a twin en-suite room and includes a full Scottish breakfast each morning.

You could decide to take the leisurely 1 hour ferry ride across the Firth of Clyde to Arran, but this package includes transport on board the "Arran Adventurer" Powerboat. We will charter this 440 hp boat exclusively for your group - we ask that you make your own way to the harbour at Ardrossan (see below) where you will be collected on the Friday evening and powered across the Firth to your destination for the weekend.

This morning your group will experience a spectacular journey of exploration and discovery which will be a real highlight of your wekend and is bound to live in the memory for a very long time. From your starting point in Brodick you will circumnavigate the island by Powerboat, stopping at strategic points along the way allowing you to take photos and take in the views of Arran from a completely different angle. This is like nothing else on offer in the UK and is sure to bring a smile to the face of your entire group.

After an exhilirating morning's activity it will then be time to relax and enjoy an afternoon at the 4 Star Auchrannie Spa Resort and Country Club. The Resort is located in Brodick and has an extensive range of leisure facilities including a large indoor pool, sanarium, steam room, solarium and footbaths to provide the perfect tonic to the morning's activity. For those in your group seeking that extra bit of pampering the Resort also offers beauty treatments, massages and aromatherapy.

On the Saturday night you will have the opportunity of visiting some of the island's many hostelries - we will provide you with details of where to eat and drink in Brodick, and advise you if there is any live music on for the weekend you are visiting.

After a full day of activities on Saturday we have left your final morning in Arran free. However, if you'd like us to organise a further activity or event then just let us know - perhaps a leisurely horse ride amongst the island's spectacular scenery, or a visit to Arran Aromatics which is located just on the outskirts of Brodick? When you're ready to depart your Powerboat will again transport you back across the Firth to Ardrossan - a memorable and unique way to finish your weekend.

The Isle of Arran lies off the south-west coast of Scotland and is the most accessible of all the Western Isles. Whilst we have included transport by Powerboat for getting you to and from the island in your package you may prefer to travel by Calmac ferry - they operate several sailings a day from Ardrossan to Brodick. Just ask us to include this in your package and we'd be delighted to arrange it for you.

Ardrossan is located on the Ayrshire coast and is well serviced by train connections from Glasgow and is only a 30 minute taxi ride from Prestwick Airport.

Ryanair flies into Prestwick from many destinations including Stansted Airport, so you could leave London on the 16.50 Ryanair flight and be on the beautiful Isle of Arran by 19.30 !
