With cool accommodation for 18 guests across nine bedrooms, connected by a staircase and an elevator, The Skyscraper welcomes those celebrating birthdays, stag dos, hen dos and corporate events.

The White Chalet, Chamonix Valley

The White Chalet, Chamonix Valley, France

The White Chalet is for those that just love partying at a ski resort. Where better to host a celebratory event than a ski lodge in the French Alps? This holiday home is furnished with some superior luxury extras like a hot tub, a dance floor with sound system, and a loft for curling up in the warmth at the end of a day on-the-piste.  Small party events are also well-suited for The White Chalet as there is a plenary room, breakout rooms, and other enticing and handy facilities. This is the perfect spot for a birthday party, a stag or hen do, or a ski base for a get together. To ski or snowboard: that is the only important dilemma here. [Check out The White Chalet here]

Havriata Hideaway

Party like a Greek God at this wonderful holiday home on the beautiful island of Kefalonia. This luxurious villa is large enough to accommodate 10 guests in comfort. Its many stylish and contemporary-style living areas are excellent backdrops for parties of all kinds. Prepare a feast in the fully-equipped kitchen and choose to dine either indoors or alfresco, with both areas boasting breathtaking views across the Ionian Sea. View the night sky through the telescope, or enjoy some light competition in the games room, complete with a pool table and books. Party on the deck, or outside is an idyllic garden with a large infinity pool filled with seawater and a large choice of sun loungers. For a feast under the glorious sun, there is a BBQ oven. What else could you possibly need for a hot party house? [Check out Havriata Hideaway here]
