While most parties are fun, there's really something to be said about those particular ones; the ones with great music and large crowds, as well as tropical weather, beautiful beaches and huge sailing yachts.
If that's your type of party, then you'll want the following ‘Top 10 Best Party Islands’ on your bucket list.
1. Ayia Napa – Cyprus
We start with the party and sailing island of Cyprus.
The town of Ayia Napa is growing in popularity every year and now has more than 250 bars and nightclubs... that's a lot of parties!
Plenty of opportunities to party into the morning. The most popular and wildest place is Napa Square, where the choice of dance, R&B, disco and house parties is not at all small.
After a night out on the party scene in Cyprus, it's the perfect place to cure a hangover in the turquoise-coloured, crystal-clear water right on the shore.
2. Magaluf, Mallorca
Once you have arrived on the party island of Mallorca, you should make your way to the sunny west coast and prepare yourself for the relaxed yet crazy atmosphere of the island - because this is exactly what Mallorca has become world-famous for.
Magaluf is home to the "BCM Planet Dance"- the largest nightclub on the island. If that's not a reason to spend the whole night there, then what else is?
3. The British Virgin Islands
Celebrating in the Caribbean means first-class beaches, breathtaking resorts and a wide selection of beach bars. With a sailing boat, you can visit one island after another, such as Norman Island.
