IBIZA, SPAIN

Europe’s capital of summer parties and beautiful people, Ibiza has years of history as the rowdiest and funkiest island in the world.

Flooded with British holidaymakers, Ibiza is barely recognisable as a Spanish island especially with an all-English crew of bartenders and waitresses everywhere.

Despite its lack of local flavour and culture, it is still a stunning island with turquoise bays, rocky cliffs and chill-out vibes.

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL

Where else can you find such sexy bikini-clad ladies and a sassy party atmosphere?

From samba clubs to baixos (a gathering of cafes, restaurants and bars) and mega dance-clubs, the entire stretch of coastal beach has so much to offer.

With some of the world’s most famous beaches such as Ipanema and Copacabana, this city epitomises partying on the beach.

ZANZIBAR, TANZANIA

What used to be a spice island is now a tranquil isle teeming with unspoiled beauty and wilderness.

That said, nightlife here can go wild.

Kendwa Rocks, a dive resort in the northern coast of Zanzibar, holds full-moon parties that include sumptuous Zanzibari barbecue buffet and entertaining African acrobatic performances.

FULL MOON PARTY KOH PHANGAN

KOH PHANGAN, THAILAND

The crescent-shaped beach of Haad Rin is home to one of the world’s most famous full-moon parties.

With different genres of music playing at various bars, and entertainment from jugglers and fire-eaters, you are guaranteed a crazy night on the beach.

Some parties attract up to 20,000 partygoers, so beware of drunken brawls and don’t get mixed up with drugs – this is Thailand and they have serious penalties for drug possession.

BORACAY, THE PHILIPPINES

With some of the most gorgeous beaches in South-East Asia, the island of Boracay is the latest hotspot. It oozes sensuality.

Unlike some overcrowded islands, Boracay is still relatively undiscovered.

White Beach is home to a few hippy reggae bars and zen cocktail lounges sprawled over the white sand. Cocomangas is the palpitating heart of the night scene.

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL

A beach party is probably not the first thing you think of when you read about Tel Aviv but this coastal city in the Middle East boasts beaches with some of the most vibrant nightlife in the world.

As Isreal’s wealthiest city, Tel Aviv boasts plenty of high-end clubs and posh restaurants.

Stretching from Tel Aviv Port to Old Jaffa, the pumping music continues through the night in the city that never sleeps.

TLV is one of the biggest dance clubs at the Tel Aviv Port, while Cafe Barzilay showcases performances from alternative Israeli artists.

SOUTH BEACH, MIAMI

By all accounts many say it’s the creme de la creme of the United States’ party beaches.

Not only will you be rubbing tanned shoulders with the rich and famous, but many US college students also flock to the paradisiacal beach for their spring break.

Expect to see some seriously beautiful people.

Partying at South Beach can be expensive, but with such glamorous settings, you won’t feel the pinch.

DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA

Each spring thousands of college students from across the USA flock to the sandy beaches of Daytona Beach, Florida.

When they get there, they find a crazy party scene that is quite unlike anything you’ll see anywhere else. Daytona Beach is renowned for the range of clubs and bars as well as the pool and beach parties that start early and continue through the night.

Check out Ocean Deck, a bar / club that is right on the beach and has been the scene of some of the maddest spring break parties on record.

KUTA BEACH, BALI, INDONESIA

Bali remained a quiet and very secluded island until it was discovered by traveling Australian surfers in the 1970’s.

After Tracks magazine published pictures of them surfing at Uluwatu on the Bukit Peninsula, Bali was inundated by surfers from all over the world seeking warm water and hollow waves.

Nowadays Bali is a thriving tourist destination with plenty of cheap accommodation and lots of partying, despite the recent bombings. Hundreds of people regularly meet on Kuta Beach to watch the sun melt into the Indian Ocean before partying the night away in the bars lining the beach.

BYRON BAY, NSW, AUSTRALIA

The Australians know how to party and Byron Bay has been home to some crazy parties.

The town is usually packed out with travelers from all over the world who come to enjoy the beaches, the diving and parties that last long into the night.

If you want to experience Byron Bay at it’s best head there during the annual Schoolies, the Australian equivalent of Spring Break, that starts mid November and lasts into December.
