Ibiza, Spain

It would be impossible to pick just one party location in Ibiza. The whole island is known as the party capital of the world.

The world’s best DJs will travel to Ibiza to play sets to huge crowds each year and iconic nightclubs such as Pacha and Amnesia are famous for their crowd-pleasing beats.

But if you want to party in Ibiza you need to travel to the island at the right time of year. The party season in Ibiza starts in May and ends in October, but the peak is July and August. For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, why not visit in September to enjoy the legendary season closing parties?
