1. Choose a party holiday destination
First things first, there is no party holiday without picking a location first. This is the most important step and without doing the right travel research, you could end up picking a bad location that has little to no party events or nightclubs as well as picking a location that is out of season meaning that everything that you planned to do, maybe shut.
There are plenty of great options for a party holiday including locations such as Zante, Thailand, Ibiza, Ayia Napa and Las Vegas to name a few however it is still pivotal that you research the destination beforehand to discover the best time to go, the best places to stay and what the area has to offer in terms of party and nightlife activities. If you are ever unsure, try looking at the best party cities or best party destinations that other people have recommended.
We have created a list of the best party holiday destinations in the world including the best party locations in Europe, Asia and North America.
2. Set a budget & establish a group
Once you have decided on the perfect party holiday location for your summer travels you next need to establish a budget of how much you are planning to spend and what people you are looking to travel and party with. This is a very important factor as deciding how many people are going on this holiday will help you decide on what type of accommodation you should look to book. Furthermore, it will allow you to decide the budget and set a travel budget for your trip.
First and foremost, by deciding on the group of people that are going away on this holiday, you will be able to pick suitable accommodation and work out the budget accordingly. For example, if you are travelling with a large group you may want to consider booking a private villa with room for lots of people which will work out cheaper than paying for a hotel. On the other hand, a small group may work out cheaper by booking an all-inclusive hotel with drinks and food. By deciding on the number of people attending the clubbing holiday you can look to work out the larger costs and how much it will cost all between you.
You can then look at creating a travel budget based on your own personal finances and how much you plan on spending on the party holiday. By planning a travel budget you can account for all the necessities you will need to buy plus work out how you can save travel money for when you get there to spend on drink and nightclub entry tickets.
3. Plan the dates
Next, you need to plan the dates on which you will be attempting to visit your chosen party holiday destination for your next vacation. After doing your research on the party location in the first step, you should now have a solid idea of when is the best time to go on holiday to your chosen party destination. You will be aware of the low season where everything is shut and there is bad weather and you will be aware of the best time to book depending on your schedule when that location is in the high or shoulder season where the weather is good and all the party activities are in full swing.
As mentioned previously, if you get the dates wrong for your party holiday, it will not be as an enjoyable time because the weather will not be as hot as you hoped for and all the party activities won’t be in full swing so you can kiss goodbye to that foam party in 40-degree heat!
Take advice from someone who has made this easy-to-make mistake before and do your research when planning the dates. Once you have secured the ideal date within peak or shoulder season when everything is open, check with everyone in your group to ensure they are free to attend the party holiday on these dates. If there are thumbs up all around, you need to start booking!
4. Flights & accommodation
Some party holiday destinations can be fairly cheap if you play your cards right, keep an eye out for cheap flights and cheap accommodation and you may be on for a fairly inexpensive holiday! Depending on when you book your flights you can find cheap deals from budget airlines that can help you save large amounts.
