Party holidays are a popular option for groups celebrating special occasions like milestone birthdays and anniversaries. Exploring by sea gives you a unique view of your destination, total peace and privacy, sensational views throughout, and plenty of varied activities to keep everyone entertained.
Discover the island destinations that are worthy of a yacht charter for your group so you can enjoy an amazing sailing holiday in style.
1. Mykonos, Greece
Boasting bright white beaches and water sports on the azure ocean for daytime entertainment, Mykonos comes into its own at night. There are many beach clubs and cocktail bars in Mykonos where you can watch the sky go from gold to pink to purple and then dance until dawn.
To escape the crowds, sail to Ios one day. This small island is within easy reach of Mykonos and is praised for its serene atmosphere and sensational views over the Mediterranean Sea.
2. Hvar, Croatia
A party destination that’s great for all ages – not just those who can stay up past midnight – is Hvar, an island on Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast. From chilled beach bars to glam discos, there are venues and music to suit all tastes so it’s easy to keep the whole family happy.
If you do want to dance the night away, head to Hvar for the Ultra Europe Ultra Beach festival in mid-July. Watch DJ sets at Carpe Diem beach club and join a regatta party at neighbouring Brac.
Hvar is still relatively new as a party destination, and this makes it a favourite retreat of celebrities seeking to holiday in peace. Keep your eyes peeled as you sail your way around the island!
3. Majorca, Spain
While Ibiza is considered the party capital of the Balearic Islands, Magaluf in next-door Majorca is just as exciting when it comes to evening entertainment.
Each summer season, the clubs hire resident DJs to play sets with the latest music long into the night. You’ll find themed nights too, devoted to certain genres and eras so you can celebrate your favourite tunes.
In the day, you can cool off at a quiet beach away from the hustle and bustle of the main strip.
4. Koh Phangan, Thailand
Keen to go further afield? Charter a yacht in Koh Phangan, one of the best destinations in Thailand to join the moon party trend. Over 10,000 visitors come to this beach every full moon to celebrate life with a night-long party.
Whatever time of year you visit it’ll be hot so dress appropriately and make sure to stay hydrated. Younger groups – or those young at heart! – may like to embrace the use of vivid neon glow paint as part of their full moon party dress code.
