All You Need to Know About Planning Your Stag Do Abroad

If you’re determined to have an unforgettable stag do with the guys, choosing to go abroad is the best decision to make! Why settle for a night at home when you can spend a few days in paradise? It’s cheaper and easier to plan that you think!

Here we’ll run through some of the stag do planning decisions you should make, while also giving you a helping hand choosing the perfect destination, hotel and activities. Spontaneity is great, but planning the bare bones of your stag do abroad will make it exceptional!

 

Choose an incredible stag do destination

Your destination must be the most important thing to consider when planning your stag do abroad! What are your priorities? Sun? Nightlife? Great food? Cheap drinks? Browse through travel blogs to get inspired, or think about the great city spots that guys choose time and again for stag dos. Barcelona, Amsterdam and Berlin are three of our best picks!

 

Use trip planning tools such as Trip Advisor to find the highest rated venues in different destinations, and use Tripobox to book your hotels, restaurants and stag do activities together on one website.

 

Get the guys together

Planning a stag do abroad isn’t something you should do alone! Get in a few beers and invite the guys over, or head to a pub and chat about your ideas there. Decide what will make your stag do awesome, but also make time to talk about the boring but important things like budget and group size! Planning your stag do abroad together will save you a lot of hassle and probably make the trip a load more exciting too.

 

Book an awesome hotel

When you watched The Hangover, you can’t say you weren’t envious of the hotel they stayed in! By booking in advance you can get some great deals on hotels for your stag party abroad, and by saving on budget flights (try EasyJet and Ryanair for starters) you can probably allow yourself to splurge a little more on your hotel choice. Would a pool make your stag do abroad just that bit more memorable? What about a spa? Hotel bar? Check out the options at your destination!

Have an unforgettable night

When we think of stags, we think of something to put all other night outs to shame! When planning your stag abroad, look up the best bars and clubs in the area and check out what’s close to your hotel. If you want to spend an evening doing something other than partying, why not consider a poker night, evening show, or classy dinner?

 

Check out the daytime activities

But wait a second; stag dos aren’t just about nighttime! While a heavy night may mean you miss the early hours of morning, you and the guys can still make the most of your afternoons. For those of you who never turn down an adrenaline rush, plan a Formula 1 track race, paintballing, jeep driving, or try flyboarding, a new stag do favourite in Barcelona. Alternatively, options for a chilled afternoon include seeing the city or sampling the local food and drink. There’s sure to be something at your destination to suit you and the guys perfectly!

 

Now you know that planning a stag do abroad doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated, what are you waiting for? You’re sure to have an incredible time away!
