There’s thousands of incredible beaches scattered across the globe from Sydney to Ko Pha Ngan to Miami. But what makes a great beach even greater? A roaring party.
Beaches are the perfect destination to party because you’ll always have the option to relax and recover or wander and discover the rest of the area. And because we all love an epic bash, I just had to share these 7 killer parties that are too good to keep to myself.
Full Moon Party
Where: Ko Pha Ngan, Thailand
When: Every full moon
Most of us have heard of the famous Full Moon Party but why is it so popular? First off, there’s 10,000 to 30,000 people at this beach party each month! Not annually, monthly. After lighting the lanterns and setting them free the real party begins as you dance along to whatever style of music you want from techno to reggae. Bring your brightly coloured party clothes and don’t forget the body paint! Bars litter the beaches so you’ll never go thirsty!
New Year’s Eve in Rio de Janeiro
Where: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
When: Every year on December 31st
On Copacabana Beach, 8:00PM is when it all begins. The beach fills with countless people getting ready to ring in the New Year. If you plan on going make sure you wear white as that’s the dress code, but word to the wise: you may want to bring some old clothing as it’s tradition to drench each other in champagne when the clock strikes midnight.
Paradise Beach
Where: Mykonos, Greece
When: Every summer
Paradise Beach is a favourite across the globe. It’s not only the number one open air club, but it’s also one of the top 20 clubs in the world. It’s not even an event, but a resort (yes, I’m being serious), so that means this party happens all summer long. Set right on a stunning beach in Mykonos, it makes anyone who stays there, feel absolutely free.
Electrobeach Festival
Where: Port-Barcarès, France.
When: July 14 – 16, 2016
This small fishing community turns into an intense, exciting festival atmosphere once a year. EDM lovers from around the world flock to romantic small-town France to dance the nights away while letting their hearts roam free. Hosting some of the biggest EDM stars in the industry each year, this is one to travel for.
ULTRA Europe
Where: Split, Croatia
When: July 15 – 17, 2016
Not only are you in one of the countries with some of the most beautiful beaches and landscapes on the planet, you’re at one of the best festivals. ULTRA Miami has been a favourite for festival-goers, but the sister event in Croatia is legendary. It’s less crowded and brings in a more diverse crowd of festival goers, so you get the chance to meet music-lovers from across the globe.
Boardmasters Festival
Where: Cornwall, UK
When: August 10 – 14, 2016
The United Kingdom has been going pretty hard since the early 1980s. This festival not only houses wicked tunes but if you’re a fan of surfing and skateboarding there’s competitions that are held throughout the four days. Bringing in over 30,000 people, it’s one of the UK’s most epic and largest music festivals.
Blue Marlin at Cala Jondal Beach
Where: Ibiza, Spain
When: All year, all the time
Ibiza is well known across the globe as one of the hottest party destinations in the world. So, it obviously needed to make this list. In particular though, Cala Jondal Beach’s legendary club called Blue Marlin hosts some of the most epic, raunchy parties you’ll see in your lifetime. Anything goes in Ibiza – especially at Blue Marlin – so get ready for a wild ride.
