How to Throw the Healthiest Bachelorette Weekend Ever

If you’re planning on traveling away from home for your bachelorette party, look into destinations with beautiful hiking trails, nature reserves, or snow sports like Aspen, Banff, or Whistler. This way, you’ll be able to balance out any boozing with plenty of movement outdoors, while soaking up nature’s positive vibes before your wedding.

Brush up on your culinary skills while celebrating the end of your single life with a healthy cooking class. From Mediterranean to plant-based, there are plenty of different cooking styles to choose from, and your friends will appreciate that you veered away from the typical bachelorette party in favour of something creative and practical instead.

To commemorate the demise of your single status while prepping for your wedding, hire a yoga or Pilates instructor to come to your bachelorette party and lead a private class. You and your gals will get plenty of attention so you can really master your form, and the class will make for a healthy bonding activity for everyone involved.

Relax and unwind with your besties at a weekend cottage rental by the lake. Bring your own healthy snacks, go on long walks, and do some water sports like paddle boarding or water skiing for a low-key (and relatively cost-effective!) bachelorette weekend.

Yoga retreats are the ideal combination of movement, meditation, and travel to an exotic locale like Costa Rica. If you’re looking to splurge on an awesome bachelorette trip, book a zen yoga retreat somewhere tropical and beautiful. The trip will help you de-stress and find your centre so you can get in the right frame of mind for your big day.

For the bride who’s a total adrenaline junkie, a bachelorette party involving skydiving, bungee jumping, or white water rafting will trump clubbing any day. If your friends aren’t as extreme as you are, you could always tone it down and head to a skydiving simulator session for a low-risk thrill.

Foodie brides will love the idea of turning their bachelorette party into a healthy culinary experience. Check out the local farm-to-table restaurants in your area to sample some of the freshest and most delicious organic foods the earth has to offer. Make a night out of tasting delicious wines, veggies, and grass-fed meats for a healthy celebration you won’t regret in the morning.

If you and your besties are more on the athletic side, you may want to book a biking tour of the countryside. Many cycling trips involve stops at local wineries for tours and tastings, but you could always skip the vino and stick to biking instead. Check out some beautiful trails, soak up nature and get fit for your big day as you peddle your way to the altar.

Celebrate your impending nuptials and get those creative juices flowing with a painting or crafting night. Most art studios offer social nights for large groups led by an instructor to help you make the most of your creation. You could even have your bachelorette double as a wedding DIY session by asking your guests to create a special craft for your wedding like extra signage or centrepieces.

If you’d like to find some middle ground between traveling abroad and staying at home for your bachelorette, do some research on the best local inns with full-service spas. Once you’ve found the perfect spot, plan an ultra-relaxing weekend away from it all featuring massages, mani-pedis, and facials so you can look your best for all those pictures and let go of any pre-wedding stress.
