While we can admire the ambitious crew that heads out West to gamble and party until the wee hours for bachelor or bachelorette parties, we can appreciate those that prefer something a little more-low key.  That’s our style, too!  If you are looking for an affordable and unique bachelor or bachelorette party, consider Hilton Head Island. With a combination of nightlife, year-round sporting and activities, fabulous dining, and a few unique businesses, you can plan a bachelorette or bachelor party on Hilton Head that will wow all attendees. Who says you have to go to Vegas? Here are our tips & tricks for Hilton Head bachelorette and bachelor parties.

After you have secured your perfect girls getaway vacation rental on HHI with Beachside Getaway, jump right into planning the weekend or week.   Don’t forget to order your groceries ahead of time with Lowcountry Grocery Delivery to avoid spending your time grocery shopping (they’ll even deliver your alcohol!): 

When the sun goes down, the Rooftop heats up.  Located in Shelter Cove above Poseidon, this popular nightlife spot is a sure-fire bet for any nightlife activity.  Check their schedule for dualing pianos, DJ Dance Parties, Live Music, and more! Do not forget to schedule your transportation. We highly recommend doing this well in advance. Call Diamond Transportation or Yellow Transportation to book.

For a memorable and relaxed afternoon, evening or even brunch, consider having a “Lowcountry Picnic.” With boho-chic event design that will instantly elevate the beach or park location, you will have photos and memories to last a lifetime. Lowcountry Picnic can set up for parties as large as 20 and provide chargers, plates, utensils, napkins, glassware, the picnic table, seating cushions, a rug, a tee-pee, chalkboard with message, fans, Bluetooth speaker & faux or real flowers.  The price includes set up and delivery and is a great way to make an event special. They are also happy to help coordinate and deliver the food (though typically not included so be sure to ask!)  They will give you an event design questionnaire to determine the look and feel, and you can send them photos of what you like to make it perfect.  Be sure to tell them that Beachside Getaway sent you!  

Another girls group activity idea? Organize a day at Namaste Spa at the Marriott’s Barony Beach Club and also in The Grand Ocean on HHI.  As they said – “if you don’t remember how to relax, we will remind you!” Book a deep tissue, Swedish, warm stone, reflexology & others, or choose from facials and body treatments like anti-cellulite or CBD Bliss.  They even have unique treatments called Ayurvedic Treatments. The Abhyanga is a rhythmic full body massage that promotes arterial and lymphatic circulation and drainage that facilitates cleansing, rejuvenation, and deep relaxation. Try something different and book your party there today!

Once you have secured your perfect guys’ getaway on Hilton Head and your vacation rental for a group, you are ready to plan your activities.

Grab the boys and head out on an evening, sunset reggae cruise. Enjoy cocktails and music for 2 hours and get the evening started right.  You are sure to see wildlife like dolphins and get a glipse of the coastline. After, you can eat at one of the dozens of restaurants at Shelter Cove Marina. 

Get adventurous and head to Palmetto Axe Throwing across the bridge in Bluffton where if you have an axe to grind, they have your target!  This state of the art, new facility offers areas for groups to throw axes at targets and have a blast. They have a light menu and drinks.  Consider heading over to Burnt Church Distillery afterwards for an extensive tasting of house-made bourbons, gins, vodkas, and more. The impressive building in downtown Bluffton boasts over 25,000 square feet, a 7,000 square foot tasting room, a humidor room, gift shop and distillery. Live music and events are always going on! Check their website for more.  

On Hilton Head, consider an evening at Okko for hibachi. Their entertaining hibachi chefs will keep the party lively with their tricks on the grill, sake pours, and plus, you will get delicious food.

Of course, there are always opportunities on Hilton Head to golf with your buddies, be sure to check out our golfer’s guide. We have rounded up hidden golf gems and the best courses on our blog.  For those that want to try something new, consider Chronic Golf. Here you can play 10 different games (golf, basketball, baseball, hockey and more, all with state-of-the-art virtual reality technology).

You will replenish essential vitamins and feel great again. Hop in the infared sauna with color light therapy to feel restored, check out what it feels like to be below negative temperatures in Cryotherapy.
