Our 5 handpicked villa's close to Barcelona

Are you looking for accommodation for your hen party in Barcelona? Maybe you have considered hotels, but as you’ve likely noticed, most hotels in Barcelona are quite expensive. That’s why I have handpicked a selection of villas close to Barcelona. Of course, pricing will vary based on timing, the number of guests, and the season of your event. However, the more people you have, the merrier it becomes (and the more affordable per person). Besides the cost advantage of villas for larger groups, there's also the cozy aspect of celebrating with all your closest friends under one roof. Here are the villas I have selected that can comfortably accommodate around 15 people.

• Villa Victoria, in Catalunya 

The first villa is a luxurious villa near the center of Barcelona, in Catalunya. This villa has 8 bedrooms and offers accommodation for up to 16 guests. With nearly 6000 square meters of living space and three floors, I find Villa Victoria an extremely elegant and comfortable place.

• Villa in Alella

It’s a spacious accommodation with a total of 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms for a total of 15 guests. Entertainment options are aplenty with a 75-inch TV in the living room and a 55-inch TV in the kitchen. Host movie of karaoke nights or create your own dance party for a night of fun. This villa has a private saltwater pool where you can soak up the sun, sip cocktails, and create unforgettable poolside memories.

• Villa Can Bagués, in Mataró

Despite this villa being a bit further away from Barcelona, this might be my favourite villa. This villa is a unique architectural gem from the late 1950s, offering a stunning backdrop steeped in modernist design.

• Tropical Oasis, Sant Just Desvern 

Villa Melich, located in Sant Just Desvern, just 10 minutes from the center of Barcelona, is also a perfect venue for an unforgettable hen party. This exceptionally high-end mansion offers a balance of fun and relaxation in a luxurious setting.

The mansion exudes elegance and sophistication, setting the tone for your celebration from the moment you arrive. Whether you opt for a summer hen party with sun-soaked days by the pool or a winter escape in the cozy living spaces, Villa Melich adapts to your needs year-round.
