You’re young, good looking and bored of your local town’s slightly depressing nightlife scene, which consists of couple of grotty clubs that everyone packs into and a handful of pubs dominated by grumpy old men. Surely it must get better than this?

It does.

Modern travel is cheap and almost entirely painless compared to in the not-so-distant past. Since the fall of communism in the early 90’s, large parts of the world, which were previously out of bounds, have opened up to tourism and countries now compete to welcome visitors in their droves. Whereas once the youth of society had to content themselves with dressing as either Mods or Rockers and scrapping by the seaside, today’s singletons can escape Britain’s sodden, wind-swept town centres and focus on what they really want. Having fun. If you know that you want to get away from the UK but are uncertain of where to go, take a look at this list of 8 of the best destinations for dance-mad clubbers.

1. Lagos, Portugal

For endless beach parties, amazing water sports and all night drinking, Lagos takes some beating. Your Mum would want you to take plenty of Factor 30, because it’s going to be hot!

2. Ibiza, Spain

Everyone knows Ibiza’s reputation, right? It’s the capital of the European clubbing scene, where you’ll see top DJs like David Guetta perform live. Prepare to party hard.

3. Sunny Beach, Bulgaria

In contrast to Ibiza, Sunny Beach in Bulgaria is very much the newcomer on the party scene and has been growing rapidly since making its mark around 2006. With an electric atmosphere, a varied music scene and masses of different clubs to choose from, Sunny Beach is the new kid on the block.

4. Barcelona, Spain

Not everyone wants to go to a resort where your choices are limited to either clubbing or lying on the beach with a hangover. Barcelona offers museums and culture; sunny weather; a huge choice of accommodation and a nightlife scene that might prove too much for even the hardiest party-goer.

5. Dublin, Ireland

It may not be first on the list if you want to impress your friends at home with your suntan, but the city of Dublin in Ireland knows how to give visitors a good time. With its ubiquitous pubs, a lively atmosphere and friendly locals, Dublin is a real party town.

6. Koh Phangan, Thailand

If you have a bit more cash to splash, you should think about Thailand. Though your flight costs will undoubtedly be hefty compared to some of the other destinations on the list, once you get there everything from accommodation to food to getting around is dirt cheap. Why Thailand? It’s more exotic than the Costa del Sol; it has beaches so perfect that Newquay can’t compete; sweltering temperatures and incredible mass parties like that of the Full Moon Festival, where you might find as many as 30,000 people dancing the night away.

7. Magaluf, Mallorca

Established. Respected. Epic. The resort of Magaluf knows what you want and makes sure that you get it. Sun, sand and singletons are its speciality. At only a two hour flight away, you can be throwing shapes in Magaluf in no time at all. Organising all the details, from your sun-drenched hotel accommodation to an effortless airport transfer via a Magaluf airport taxi company, is easy.

8. Krakow, Poland

If you’ve got a taste for Vodka, go to Poland. Krakow’s a beautiful old town with an awesome choice of popular clubs, gorgeous people and dinky, boutique bars. It’s highly recommended. 8 cracking holiday destinations for you and your mates to choose from, so start planning your clubbing holiday now!
