Hen & stag at HierbaBuena
A relaxed hen or stag weekend at a cortijo in Almería
A sunny day by the pool and a long dinner with lifelong friends before the big day. Always within the calm of the house.
With your real friends
A send-off to remember, not to forget
Some hen and stag parties happen in a noisy city; others are remembered for a lifetime. At HierbaBuena we offer the second kind: a few friends, plenty of time together and a whole house to yourselves.
Pool, barbecue, long meals and music under the stars, with a few clear rules that keep the house special for everyone.
How the day unfolds
From the first swim to the last song
A long, unhurried day with the friends who matter.
Morning
Arrival
The group crosses the courtyard and discovers the house that will be theirs.
Midday
Pool day
Sun, cool water and the garden all to yourselves.
Evening
Dinner
A barbecue or a long dinner under the porch, with toasts to the one getting married.
Later
By the fire
Music at a gentle volume and conversation around the fire.
The house, yours alone
Everything you need to know
Every celebration is different, but some things never change once you step through the cortijo’s door.
4 bedrooms, 8 guests
Those you choose can sleep at the cortijo and live the celebration from beginning to end.
Pool, garden and porch
Outdoor spaces for every moment of the day, from first light to the last lingering meal.
Catering your way
Bring your own suppliers or choose from those we recommend, who already know the house.
Music welcome
Music is part of the celebration, always at a volume that respects the house and its surroundings.
A conversation, not a price list
Length of stay, dates and terms are discussed in private, shaped around what you imagine.
House rules
A celebration the house remembers fondly
Celebrating at HierbaBuena means celebrating in a house with a history. These few rules keep it that way.
Agreed guest list
The number of guests is agreed in advance and kept throughout the celebration.
Music with respect
There is music, at a volume that looks after the house, the neighbours and the quiet of the countryside.
The house as your own
We ask you to treat the cortijo as you would the home of a friend who lends it to you.
Clear timings
Arrival, the end of the party and departure are agreed together before the day.

Those who were here
What they tell us afterwards
We wanted something different from the usual hen party and got it exactly right. Pool, good food and conversations we would not have had anywhere else.
There were eight of us and the house felt huge. We left feeling we had spent a real weekend together.
