Don’t wait until your wedding day to start the celebrations! It’s time to start planning your “last hurrah” as an unmarried person and what better place to celebrate than beautiful Noosa. We have curated the perfect his and hers itinerary for a bucks and hens’ night to remember for the Sunshine Coast Issue! Read on to discover how to celebrate in arguably one of the most beautiful places in the world (in our opinion) in “The Ultimate Pre-Wedding Celebrations In Noosa!” brought to you by Olivia from Tourism Noosa.
A NOOSA BUCK’S PARTY TO REMEMBER
DAY ONE – 9:00AM
Ease into the weekend with a round of golf at one of Australia’s top-rated golf courses – The Noosa Springs Golf Club. Following this enjoy a cold beverage or two and a laidback lunch in the clubhouse, surrounded by the stunning rolling greens.
DAY ONE – 2:00 PM
Head back to your Noosa accommodation – some incredible buck’s party accommodation options include the Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort (the swim-up bar and late-night parties at The Cabanas will fit the bill nicely), or the villas at Pepper’s Noosa Resort are ideal for late sleep-ins and evening drinks with epic views overlooking Laguna Bay. Check out your chosen digs and get ready for an afternoon of fun in the sun! Hit the pool or walk to the iconic Noosa Main Beach for a dip, surf, or SUP. Then finish the afternoon with a few ales on the balcony of Noosa Heads Surf Club! Enjoy the incredible sunset views over the bay and watch the latest sporting action on the screens.
DAY ONE – 7:00 PM
It’s time for dinner and lucky for you there are plenty of casual eats at local institutions like Betty’s Burgers, or coastal cool dining at Café le Monde where you might even catch some live local music. Or head over the hill to the atmospheric Light Years Asian Diner, with its delicious share-friendly Asian plates and inventive cocktails that are pumped out late into the night.
DAY ONE – 9:00 PM
The night is young, and you’ll feel young at heart as you challenge your mates to an old-school battle at Pixels Arcade Noosa. At this “bar-cade” you can play games like air hockey and Mario Kart while you enjoy a few drinks from the bar. Try the Smoke Bubble, infused with Shisha, or a Liquid Courage to kickstart your night. If you’ve still got some energy left (of course you do), head next door to The Cabanas at the Sofitel Pacific Resort, where DJs spin tunes poolside well into the night.
DAY TWO – 10:00 AM
With no reason to get up early, a sleep-in is on the cards this morning, followed by a late brunch at Boardwalk Bistro on Noosa’s main beach. If a little morning pick-me-up is needed (no judgment here), they make a great spicy Bloody Mary to wash down your eggs benedict.
DAY TWO – 11:30 AM
With a few hours of recovery under your belt, it’s time to get back on the water! Hire jet skis from Noosa Jetski Hire to get your adrenalin pumping, or if the wind is up, go for a kitesurf with the legends from Adventure Sports Kite Surf Australia.
DAY TWO – 2:00 PM
Where better to round out your Noosa bucks party weekend, than with a crawl around the epic craft breweries and distilleries in Noosa’s Industrial Estate? You’ll find top-shelf food and drink options all within walking distance of each other at Land & Sea Brewery, Noosa Distilling Co, Boiling Pot Brewing Co., and Heads of Noosa. For a detailed craft brewery itinerary head here.
LAIDBACK NOOSA HEN’S PARTY IDEAS
DAY ONE – 11 AM
Arrive at your Noosa hen’s party accommodation – ideal options include Netanya Noosa Resort with incredible beachfront views, or perhaps you might rent a luxury holiday home from Niche Luxury Accommodation for you and your friends. Drop off your bags and get ready to meet your personal driver who will transport you around town for the entire weekend. Feeling relaxed yet?
DAY ONE – 11:30 AM
Your friendly driver will take you out of town and through the rolling hills of the Noosa Country, headed for Pomona Market. You can sample organic local produce, cheeses, honey, bread, and pastries at this real-deal country market and browse locally handmade crafts and pottery. Then head across the road for lunch at the locals-favourite Pomona Distilling Co, where you’ll find perfect bistro-style fare and small-batch house-distilled spirits in the beautiful surrounds of a restored original Queenslander.
DAY ONE – 2 PM
Head back to Noosa Heads, change into your best beach attire, and head to the pool for some serious poolside relaxing – with a cocktail in hand and a bite to eat. Soak up a little Noosa sunshine, take a dip, and feel relaxation wash over you.
DAY ONE – 5:30 PM
Now it’s time to head back to the room to get changed – the dress code for this evening is “creative cool”. Noosa is now home to two “paint and sip” studios where you can explore your creative side while sipping on a drink or two. Check out Frida’s Sip ‘n’ Paint in Noosa Junction or Pinot and Picasso in Noosaville, for an evening of painting complete with wine and ploughman’s platters. You’ll each create your own masterpiece to take home as a memory of your hen’s weekend in Noosa.
DAY ONE – 8 PM
Finish the evening with a dinner and drinks in the moody interiors of Locale Noosa, which serves delicious authentic Italian fare and cocktails until well into the evening. Meander up the short hill to your accommodation and finish the evening on your balcony overlooking the twinkling lights of Noosa Heads stretched out below.
DAY TWO – 8:30 AM
If you wake up feeling bright-eyed and refreshed, grab your girls and hit the trails of Noosa’s famed National Park, taking in the breathtaking coastline views and ocean air. Finish with coffee and a swim at Noosa’s iconic Main Beach, and you’ve had yourself a perfect Noosa morning!
DAY TWO – 12 PM
You’ll have worked up an appetite with all that activity, so head for Noosa Marina for lunch on the water at Pier 11. Frequented by locals for its fresh seafood dishes and inventive desserts. After lunch, hop aboard the Noosa Queen and cruise down the river, or BYO some snacks and drinks and take the quaint Noosa Ferry all the way back to Hastings Street, and head for the chic Noosa Beach House bar for an afternoon spritz as the sun gets low.
DAY TWO – 4 PM
What’s a hen’s weekend without a little pampering? Prepare to enter a total bliss at The Spa at Noosa Springs Resort. Indulge in a soothing massage, an invigorating body scrub, or find true relaxation with the floatation experience. Or get your skin seriously glowing and wedding-ready with Noosa’s best facial, at Sensaura Spa on Hastings St.
