Planning a stag do? Let’s be honest — a one-night pub crawl or the same old activities back home just don’t cut it anymore. Stag do holidays are where it’s at. Think sunshine, cold beers, big nights out, unforgettable stories, and a solid excuse to disappear for a few days with the lads.
A stag do holiday isn’t just about partying (although… that definitely helps). It’s about switching scenery, dialling up the fun, and making memories that’ll be talked about long after the wedding speeches are done. Whether your group’s all about wild nights, beach days, adrenaline-fuelled activities or a bit of everything, going abroad gives you way more options — and way less stress.
With Jet2holidays and On the Beach, everything’s wrapped up neatly in one package. Flights, transfers, hotels (and usually luggage) sorted. That means less planning chaos and more time focusing on what actually matters — beers, banter, and keeping the groom entertained.

Top Stag Do Destinations
Amsterdam
A classic for a reason. Laid-back vibes by day, legendary nightlife by night. Think canal-side beers, escape rooms, brewery tours, quirky activities, and endless bars. It’s perfect for groups that want variety without overplanning.
Prague
Cheap beers, buzzing nightlife, and loads of character. Pub crawls through underground bars, river cruises, old-town wandering, and clubs that don’t quit until sunrise. Big value, big memories.
Krakow
Ideal if you want nightlife with a side of culture. Start with hearty food and sightseeing, then head into Kazimierz for bar hopping and late-night fun. Budget-friendly and always lively.
Barcelona
The ultimate mix of beach, city, and nightlife. Chill on Barceloneta Beach by day, tapas and rooftop bars by evening, and clubs by night. Great for stags who want balance — not just chaos.
Ibiza
If the groom loves a party, this one’s hard to beat. Beach clubs, pool parties, boat trips, and world-famous DJs. You can go all-out… or sneak in some beach recovery time.
Benidorm
Cheap drinks, non-stop entertainment, and zero judgement. Karaoke bars, themed pubs, clubs everywhere — it’s loud, proud, and perfect for a no-frills stag do.
Marbella
For a more polished party. Beach clubs, yacht days, luxury bars, and slick nightlife around Puerto Banús. Ideal for a groom who prefers champagne over shots (or both).
What to Do on a Stag Do Holiday
The best part? You can tailor it exactly to your group’s vibe. If you’re easing into it, beer tastings, boozy brunches, and poolside sessions are a solid way to start the day. Want something more active? Go-karting, quad biking, watersports, or surfing keep the adrenaline high.
For big group laughs, escape rooms, karaoke nights, bar crawls, and cocktail making classes never fail. Boat trips and booze cruises are always a winner — sunshine, music, drinks, and zero responsibility.
And when the sun starts to dip? That’s when the magic happens. Rooftop bars, sunset drinks, beach clubs, and late-night venues turn a good stag do into a legendary one. Mix in a bit of chill time and no one burns out too early (trust us).
Basically, whether you’re after wild nights, daytime adventures, or a solid balance of both, there’s something for every kind of stag group.
