Plan The Perfect Bachelorette Party In Key West

Before your best friend takes that very special walk down the aisle, it’s time to get away, eat, drink, and have a lot of fun! If you are the one in charge of bachelorette party planning for a weekend in Key West, it may seem like a daunting task at first. You want to plan a bachelorette weekend in Key West that is memorable and so much fun for your group, but where do you start?

That is where we come in. We’ve put together an itinerary for a girls’ getaway that is perfect for a bachelorette party in Key West. Let’s look at the top 11 ideas for a memorable bachelorette party that every bride will enjoy.

1) Sunset Key Party

If you really want to splash out for the weekend, consider staying in one of the lovely Sunset Key cottages. Sunset Key is a tiny island that’s just seven minutes from Key West by ferry. There are no cars on the 27-acre island and fewer than 50 single-family homes.

The luxury cottages come with a steep price tag of well over $1000 per night. If you would like to visit the island without staying, then make a reservation for the restaurant or spa. Guests of the inn are able to take the ferry for free, but you’ll need a reservation to either stay the night, eat in the restaurant or have a spa treatment there.

Book a hotel stay in Key West that won’t take your entire travel budget and spend that money on food, drink, and entertainment instead.

2) Bachelorette Party Breakfast In Old Town Key West

Start with an energy-boosting breakfast at Key West’s iconic Blue Heaven restaurant. This Key West staple offers indoor dining as well as an open-air outdoor patio where roosters and cats roam free, strutting their stuff.

The juices are freshly squeezed, and the banana bread is homemade. Start your day off with a mimosa or bloody Mary, but pace yourself! Go ahead and have a slice of their fabulous key lime pie. You’ll work off the calories later.

The food is a blend of Florida and Caribbean cuisine. Live music plays every morning, adding to the island vibe. Come early, as Blue Heaven is a popular restaurant among tourists and locals. They don’t take reservations for breakfast or lunch and the wait can be quite long, but absolutely worth it.

If you prefer takeaways over eating out, you can find a food truck anywhere in Key West.

3) Spa Services In Key West

After a fun breakfast shared with friends, it’s time to get this day started. Your group is in for a long day, so why not start with a relaxing spa service? You can opt for a luxurious massage, a rejuvenating facial, or a mani-pedi party to make sure your hands and feet are ready for the dance floor later on.

There are some great spas available in the Key West area, but you’ll need to plan ahead in order to get an appointment.

The Pier House Resort has a lovely spa with old-fashioned southern charm. Their full-service spa offers the usual body treatments, facials, and massages, plus hair and nail services, steam rooms, Vichy showers, and a soothing whirlpool. There are ten elegant treatment rooms in 10,000 square feet of space.

At Nailtini Nail Bar and Day Spa on Duval Street, all services come with a complimentary martini, wine, champagne, or soft drink. Because, well, why not? They offer a full menu of spa services, including their signature manicure and pedicure, facials, eyelash extensions, waxing, and massage therapy.

4) Outdoor Activities For A Key West Bachelorette Party

The day is still young, and some of the best memories are made with fun outdoor activities. With Key West’s many days of sunshine, warm turquoise blue water, and incredible sandy beaches, this is the place to be for fun in the sun.

If rest and relaxation are on the agenda today, then grab your sunscreen and head to one of the top beaches in South Florida.

Smathers Beach is the longest stretch of sand in Key West. It’s a great spot to spend a day with public restrooms, picnic tables, water sports, and chair rentals. Jet ski rentals are available for added adventure.

Fort Zachary Taylor is a lovely beach at the southern tip of Key West. This area is excellent for swimming, snorkeling, and stand-up paddle boarding. Snorkel gear is available to rent, so you can enjoy a special experience swimming among the incredible marine life. Rentals for chairs, umbrellas, and bikes are also available at the beach hut.

5) Key West Pool Party

After an active morning, you might want to head back to your hotel for some pool time. Relax on a lounge chair, work on your tan, or take a little nap in preparation for a late night.

For a super fun poolside party, check out Dante’s Key West Pool Bar and Restaurant. Dante’s offers DJs playing soundtracks, live music, food, and drink specials surrounding a crystal clear pool.

They don’t take reservations, but there are plenty of seats to accommodate your party. If you want to snag one of the coveted poolside umbrella tables or chaise lounges, get there as soon as they open at 11:00 am. Stop by the DJ tent and let them know you are celebrating a bachelorette party, and they will make a special announcement for your group.

6) Southernmost City Bachelorette Party Photo Shoot

Don’t leave Key West without stopping for a bachelorette party photo opportunity in front of the famous Southernmost Point Buoy.

The concrete structure is 12 feet tall and painted in stripes of black, yellow, and red. The buoy announces that it is only 90 miles from Key West to Cuba. As you make your way to the iconic Southernmost Point spot, allow plenty of time, and don’t be in a hurry. Lines of tourists line up in front of the buoy every day to take that special photo as proof of their vacation in Key West.

The buoy is the most popular site in Key West. Over the years, it has survived numerous devastating hurricanes and required nothing more than a new paint job to restore its brilliant colors.

Gather your group in front of the buoy and snap a few shots for your memory books.

7) Frozen Drinks At A Key West Tiki Bar

Start your night of shenanigans by enjoying a fruity little Polynesian-style drink. A colorful tiki cocktail is generally made with tropical fruit juice and rum. Tiki drinks are often served in fun ceramic mugs made to look like tiki idols, coconuts, bamboo, or volcanoes.

Additional alcohol may be added, and the whole thing is topped with a garnish like lime, pineapple, or mint. Starting the night with a fun little tropical drink is a sure sign that this bachelorette party has turned up the fun.
