Despite what Hollywood would have you believe; bachelor parties have evolved from the traditional night out on the town to include bespoke experiences.

Here are five amazing ways to get away with the guys.

Spa days aren’t only for bachelorettes and the Brazos Valley finally has a world-class spa that caters to both men and women. Woodhouse Spa Bryan-College Station recently opened and offers a wide range of massages and treatments that can help you and your groomsmen relax before the big day. Conveniently located across from The Stella Hotel at Lake Walk, where you can book a cabana and relax poolside with a drink from Watershed after your 80-minute massage.
Pickers Paradise

If your groom is into the vintage scene, then booking a bachelor getaway at the Flophouze shipping container hotel outside of Round Top is the ultimate surprise. Hang out at the fire pit, explore the grounds which are on an active architectural salvage yard, and enjoy a dip in the shipping container pool. No guy’s trip to Round Top would be complete without a stop at Gasoline Hill which is open by appointment, so call ahead.

Movie Marathon
