-Ko Pha Ngan, Thailand: Known for its wild full moon parties, Ko Pha Ngan becomes a haven for many travellers who plan their holidays in line with the lunar cycle. The all-night parties have become known as one of the biggest beach parties in the world. The exact date of when the first party was held varies, but it has grown from a mere 20-30 partygoers in the mid 1980s to global notoriety, amassing close to 30,000 partygoers each full moon during the high season. December and January are a great time of year to visit and to enjoy one of the biggest and best beach parties on offer.

- Queenstown, New Zealand: Queenstown is often referred to as the adventure capital of the world and for good reason. For adrenaline junkies you cannot go past the renowned ‘Awesome Foursome’. This action-packed day combines a helicopter flight, white water rafting down the Shotover River, a high-speed jet boat ride and a 134 metre bungy jump from the Nevis Highwire, all of which are sure to leave you on a high.

- Ibiza, Spain: Ibiza is one of four of the Balaeric Islands of Spain and provides a postcard-like setting with picturesque beaches and high, towering cliffs. It has now become more widely known as one of the party capitals of the world and attracts travellers from across the globe to party along with some of the world’s best known DJs in some of the most sought after night clubs.

- Cancún, Mexico: Cancún is the infamous party town for American college students for Spring break, which brings in close to four million visitors each year. There is plenty of excitement to be had, whether it’s taking part in a Caribbean Carnival Cruise with plenty of on board competitions, music and drinks, or driving your own boat on a jungle cruise through the lagoon mangrove jungles. There is no shortage of nightlife and for those wanting to experience a local activity you can watch the toreadors take part in bullfighting — one of the oldest traditions in Mexico.

- Mykonos, Greece: Mykonos is ‘the’ place to party on the Greek Islands. Often referred to as the world’s adult playground, Mykonos offers some of the best bars and nightclubs anywhere in the world. It’s unabashed and unapologetic, but travellers will remember it as a holiday of a lifetime.
