10 Best Party Holiday Destinations

Looking for the ultimate party getaway? Whether you’re looking for a boogie wonderland, a beach club retreat or someone who just loves soaking up the nightlife of a new city, we’ve got you covered with this comprehensive guide on party holiday destinations.

From iconic destinations like Ibiza to more unique party destinations like Bali and Sydney, this guide will take you through your options when it comes to adding a bit more fun to your holiday.

Booking a party holiday: top tips

Planning the perfect party holiday doesn’t need to be stressful. Start by deciding what kind of vibe you’re after. Are you after beach parties, world-class nightclubs, or a mix of both? This will help to narrow down your options.

Next, think about your travel options. Catching a flight is quick and easy, but it limits your options, whereas a cruise holiday allows for multiple destinations to be explored in a single trip without having to contend with tonnes of travel arrangements.

With a Cruise & Stay holiday, you can enjoy top-tier party experiences on board – think nightclubs, cocktail bars, and themed events – while stopping off at some of the best destinations for party holidays. The best bit? Cruises cater to groups of all sizes and make travel hassle-free, with accommodation, food, and entertainment included. We’ll even throw in some accommodation at a port city before or after your holiday.

Choosing a cruise for your party holiday

If you’ve never thought about a cruise for your next party holiday, there’s no time like the present to reconsider. Modern cruise ships are designed with fun and entertainment in mind, offering everything you need for an unforgettable getaway:

  • Bars and nightclubs: You can sip expertly mixed cocktails in chic lounges and casinos or dance until dawn at onboard nightclubs featuring live DJs.
  • Restaurants: Enjoy everything from casual bites and pizzas at midnight to fine dining at world-class restaurants serving cuisine from across the globe.
  • Pools and daytime parties: A lot of cruises host poolside parties or themed events to be enjoyed throughout the day.

The biggest advantage? Cruises allow you to visit multiple party holiday destinations in one trip, so you and your mates can dance under the stars in Ibiza at the start of your trip, and end up sipping margaritas in Cancun.

Some ships will offer overnights in port, which means they dock in the morning and don’t leave until late afternoon the next day. This gives you a chance to party the night away and return to your ship, without worrying about taxi fees or overnight accommodation. For example, Virgin Voyages does this in Mykonos, and you have the chance to get a tender boat to and from the island!
