The location will set the tone for the entire trip and determine the activities that will be available to you and your guests. Here are some things to consider when choosing the perfect tropical location for your bachelorette party.
Beach Destinations
If you’re looking for a classic tropical experience, a beach destination is the way to go. Here are some popular beach destinations for bachelorette parties:
- Cancun, Mexico: With its white sand beaches and crystal clear waters, Cancun is the perfect place to relax and soak up the sun. The city also has a vibrant nightlife scene, with plenty of clubs and bars to keep you entertained.
- Punta Cana, Dominican Republic: Punta Cana is known for its all-inclusive resorts, making it a great option for groups who want to relax and let someone else take care of the details. The beaches are stunning, and there are plenty of activities available, including snorkeling, horseback riding, and zip-lining.
- Cannes, France: If you’re in Europe, consider heading to the glamorous South of France for a beach themed getaway.
Island Getaways
If you’re looking for a more secluded and intimate experience, an island getaway might be the perfect choice for your bachelorette party. Here are some popular island destinations for bachelorette parties:
- St. Lucia: St. Lucia is a stunning tropical island with endless adventures and breathtaking views. The island has it all, from black sand beaches to drive-in volcanoes. Make sure to explore the incredible Sulphur Springs, known as the world’s only “drive-in volcano.”
- Ibiza, Balaeric Islands: Ibiza is famously the clubbing capital of the world so is the perfect place for brides-to-be who want to party

Tropical Inspired Decorations
When it comes to a tropical themed bachelorette party, the decorations play a crucial role in creating the perfect ambiance. Here are some ideas to inspire you:
Tropical Flowers
Incorporating tropical flowers into your decorations is an excellent way to bring the island vibes to your party. Hibiscus, Plumeria and Bird of Paradise are all vibrant, tropic flowers, but as they can be pricy, you may wish to consider some cheaper deoration options made with faux flowers.
Flamingos are also a quintessential tropical party symbol, in fact many bachelorette parties along this theme include the slogan “Final Flamingle”, so you could play on this to make it a theme of the party.
Beach-Inspired Decor
In addition to tropical flowers, you can also incorporate beach-inspired decor into your party. Here are some ideas:
- Seashells: Collecting seashells is a fun activity that you can do with your bridesmaids before the party. You can use the shells to create beautiful centrepieces or to decorate your tables.
- Tiki Torches: Tiki torches are a classic element of tropical decor. They provide a warm and inviting glow that is perfect for evening events.
- Photo props are a fun addition for any Bach or Hen Party, and make a great accessory for photos of the weekend to share on social media.

Tropical Prints
Tropical prints are a staple for any island-inspired outfit. Whether it’s palm leaves, hibiscus flowers, or pineapples, incorporating these prints into your attire will instantly transport you to a tropical paradise. Try a printed maxi dress or jumpsuit, or mix and match a printed top with solid coloured bottoms.
