High Holiday Nightspots with Low-cost Cheap Hotels

Large group holidays for the 18-30 market are all about going out, having fun and experiencing some of the best nightlife on offer in some of the premier beach resorts in the world.

One of the biggest mistakes of booking a large group holiday is overspending on the hotel. If you are going to truly experience (and afford) the delights a destination has to offer, then beds should almost be an optional extra.

Here is our list of the best places to go for awesome nightlife with cheap hotels to boot.

Ibiza

Clubbing and Ibiza are so synonymous that the Oxford English Dictionary is considering rewriting the entry to: “Clubbing: see Ibiza”. Ibiza is clubbing and if you want some of the best atmosphere in the world for dancing and romancing then Ibiza is the place to be.

Pacha, Privilege and Manumission are three of the biggest names on the island, and rightly so, parties don’t get much bigger or louder than the island that never sleeps. Cheap hotels are best in San Antonio, at the heart of the clubbing Mecca and a short stumble home after a massive night.

Magaluf

A second entry for the Balearics, Magaluf on the island of Majorca still has an electric club scene and in many cases is considerably cheaper than a night on the town in Ibiza. BCM is the best of the bunch in the resort attracting some of the big names such as Judge Jules, DJ Sammy and Erick Morillo.

Cheap hotels are available all over the island, but Palma Nova is best avoided as it is more family oriented. Stick to Torrenova for the best deals.

Faliraki

In Greece, they say there are more bars and clubs per capita in Rhodes than there are in New York or London. Whilst this is a nice apocryphal tale, there is plenty to light up your night out on the Greek island.

All Rhodes lead to Faliraki. Not really, but there are two main roads in Faliraki that you want to get acquainted with for the ultimate night out in Greece, simply named Bar Street and Club Street. There are no prizes for guessing which street caters for which entertainment. The cheapest hotels are just outside the centre of town.

Bodrum

Forget the stereotype of belly dancing Turkish girls dressed up like Princess Jasmine, a night out on the tiles in Turkey is one which revolves more around restaurants and bars than dancing and clubs. Bodrum is the best place to get social with the locals. The otherwise quite sleepy town is transformed by night to become a buzzing bazaar of late night bars.

The Fora Bar on the beach is a particular favourite with tourists and the natives. With the Turkish lira being weak against the pound, cheap hotels can be found in Bodrum for as little as £18 a night.

Malta

Malta has opened up in recent years to the European clubbing scene and is fast becoming a hotspot for British tourists. One thing about Malta is that the weather is almost guaranteed to be scorching hot, as is the nightlife.

Tattingers in Rabat is fast growing a reputation for a blinding night out, and becoming a serious rival to some of the top clubs in Ibiza.Cheap hotels are available in St Julians and Paceville, at the heart of club land in Malta.
