For beach parties, don't miss the Bora Bora Beach Club, where the sandy fun starts before sunset and doesn't stop until the sun comes back up again!
Magaluf, Spain
Spain's reputation as the king of summer clubbing is further secured by the many thousands of happy UK clubbers who give fantastic reports of Magaluf each summer.
Another great location to experience the best Europe nightlife, Magaluf is not one for the faint-hearted partygoer.
Clubbing holidays in Magaluf serve up an intoxicating mix of foam parties and laser shows – and equally intoxicating drinks promotions.
Magaluf Clubs
Central to the Magaluf experience is one of Europe's largest superclubs, BCM Planet Dance.
Missing a visit here is like going to Paris and not going up the Eiffel Tower.
Don't forget to try other amazing clubs nearby such as Bananas, Tokio Joe's, Buffalo Girls, Honey's and Boomerang.
Magaluf Club Pass
To get the most from your clubbing holiday gain entry to Magaluf's top five clubs by buying an MCP – the Magaluf Club Pass.
This should bolster your cocktail fund considerably.
Ayia Napa, Cyprus
If you want a clubbing buzz similar to Ibiza but haven't quite saved up enough money ready for summer, then Ayia Napa could be a life saver.
Is Ayia Napa a cheap party holiday destination?
As far as clubbing holiday destinations go it can't be called cheap, but this Cypriot clubber's heaven won't have you diving into your overdraught quite like its Spanish counterpart.
Ayia Napa Square
Head to the famous Square, where a dazzling array of bars and clubs are crammed into a very small space.
You won't have to walk far between famous clubs like Bedrock, Ice and the Castle Club, or the numerous themed bars.
Partying in Ayia Napa
You'll need to leave your UK party habits behind, however, as no one even considers night-time bar hopping until 11pm, while clubs won't let you in until 1am.
Ayia Napa Beaches
Daytimes are usually spent lounging around on the splendid beaches of this town – such as Pernera Beach, Glyki Nero Beach, Pantachou Beach and Grecian Bay Beach - which used to make its living from fishing!
Malia, Crete
Malia is another of our favourite clubbing holiday destinations.
Malia bars and clubs
You'll be overwhelmed with the sheer number of bars and clubs in Malia, but we think Warehouse is a good place to get the evening rolling.
Warehouse is the only club in the resort that offers an outside drinking/sitting area. observe the crowds wondering the streets without having to leave the club.
If you're an RnB and house music lover, then head down the road to Zig Zags whilst for your fix of HipHop and Grime, head to Apollo.
If you have your mind set on foam parties, RnB and funky house, then pencil the Factory Club into your itinerary. It also boasts numerous pole dancers!
Candy Club, Malia
No clubbing holiday to Malia is complete without a trip to Candy Club.
It's ultra-modern and very well run.
With a huge bar and equally huge dancefloor, it ranks as one of the best clubbing venues across the whole of Europe.
Don't miss Malia's Club UK!
But the real must-try establishment is Club UK, where upbeat dance and trance music is pumped out until the early hours.
Kavos, Corfu, Greece
Some of the best clubbing holidays can be had in Kavos.
Club nights in Kavos
Despite the fact Kavos was created for affordable clubbing, it still attracts big names likes Cream and Ministry, so you won't be short of famous DJs if you visit Corfu's premiere nightlife spot in the summer.
Over 100 bars!
Whatever your musical poison is, you'll find it here.
With over 100 bars, eateries and clubs lining a single, party-obsessed street, in one party-obsessed town, it’s no surprise that Kavos has become synonymous with some of the best nightlife in Europe.
Kavos beaches
If and when you run out of energy from all the laser shows, foam parties and generous drinks promotions, you can watch the sun emerge from a dazzlingly beautiful blue sea – whilst reclining on soft golden sand.
Travel Insurance Cover
While all these clubbing holiday destinations are generally filled with good-natured party goers and friendly locals, there are always one or two who make a summer clubbing break a nightmare for some.
Pickpockets and hotel thefts are some of the problems faced by dance-minded holidaymakers. But good single trip travel insurance can help protect against any light-fingered individuals you may came across in party locations abroad.
Good travel insurance can also provide cover against illness or injury, flight cancellation – and numerous other risks which you might encounter during your clubbing holidays.
