IF YOU LIKE TO PARTY IN MAGALUF, TRY AYIA NAPA…

Nissi-Bay-Cyprus-Holidays-Family-Holidays

Magaluf is Majorca's undisputed party magnet with Bar Street, booze cruises galore and the amazing BCM Square and club. The white sand Blue Flag beach is lovely for the day after the night before, too! But why not reboot your party vibe in lively Ayia Napa? This resort on the island of Cyprus is the go-to hotspot for cool clubbers and bar-hoppers. You’ve got a waterpark, watersports, sea caves and the gorgeous Cape Greco National Park to keep you busy during the daytime and Ayia Napa also has Nissi Beach, a Blue Flag beauty nearby. This white sandy stretch has been described as one of the best beaches in the world and has just one of the 14 Blue Flags flying in the area – so there’s no reason why a party holiday in the sun has to mean a poor effort when it comes to sand and sea.

Palma de Mallorca is one of those rare destinations that manages to combine city and coast perfectly. Beyond the beach and the harbour of Palma, you’ve got tons of history and culture, including the capital city’s famous La Seu cathedral, an atmospheric old town, museums, shopping and restaurants. If you’ve been there, done that and got the fridge magnet, why not browse our Barcelona holidays instead? This Spanish city has even better beaches, with 4km of city centre sands at Barceloneta beach, compared to Palma’s teeny 200 metres. Other city highlights include the magical architecture of Antoni Gaudi, with the twisted spire Sagrada Familia cathedral being just one must see building, plus the vast city park Ciutadella, the lively central Las Ramblas avenue, the labyrinth that is the gothic quarter and lots of big name Spanish boutiques and shops to browse in. Kids will love the zoo and the aquarium, while adults will be spoilt for choice with the restaurants, bars and clubs that keep the city buzzing from dusk till dawn.
