Spring Break does vacation a bit differently… preferably set somewhere with warm water, loud music, and a bar within reach of the shoreline. The best party destinations know how to blur the line between day drinking and nightlife, turning beaches into social hubs and sunsets into a pre-game for the night to come. If your ideal escape involves sunny bikini-weather afternoons, unapologetically strong cocktails, and nights that stretch into the next day, these Spring Break destinations deliver the kind of party chaos that’s very much by design.
Best Spring Break Destinations When You’re Ready to Party
Miami, Florida
We know, we know. Miami sounds basic but it’s a great party destination for a reason. Head over to South Beach for clubs with vibrant light shows and killer DJs. But, Downtown is another place to adventure where you could even catch hip-hop performers or celebrity sightings. Even in Wynwood you can spend all night at clubs that play a little something for everyone.
Cancún, Mexico
If there’s one reason to go to Cancún, besides the magical blue waters and awe-inspiring resorts: the viral hot-spot Coco Bongo. Coco Bongo isn’t your average club. Yes, there is an extensive bar program and plenty of body-moving music. But, the club makes sure each night is also an all-out performance. You’ll see acrobats, dancers, and a team of actors who include the audience along the way. Though if this isn’t quite your vibe, there are plenty of more traditional clubs in Cancún too.
Ibiza, Spain
If there’s one person we can trust to show us a good time it’s Charli XCX. One of her personal favorites, and a club she chooses to DJ at, is actually in Ibiza. Amnesia is one of the most popular destinations in the city for its two large dance floors, special guests, as well as foam and bubble canons on select nights. Outside of this spot though Ibiza is also known for its boat parties. There’s nothing quite like bumping tunes on the water with your friends.
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
The white sands of Punta Cana are something everyone should see at least once in their life. This part of the Dominican Republic is all about taking you straight to the coastline for snorkeling, swimming with dolphins, ziplining, and so much more. The endless rows of beaches makes beach-hopping a breeze and many of the resorts in the area are customized for partying all night long. There’s also a Coco Bongo in Punta Cana so you won’t miss out on any of the crazy, theatrical fun.
Mykonos, Greece
You think of Greece for its rich history and picturesque lands where Greek gods were thought to have roamed. But under the touristy parts of the Mykonos, especially in the downtown area, are endless basements full of world-renowned DJs. Here it’s normal for girls to be dancing up on the bars, clothing to feel optional, and the nights to extend long into the next morning. It’s considered to be the Ibiza of Greece.
South Padre Island, Texas
Texas has beaches? Actually, Texas has a whole island off the southern coast of state. This tropical island, South Padre, seems designed for college students when Spring Break comes around. The whole island is walkable, the scenery is like the more luxurious coasts but at a lower cost, and each year live artists make their way down to party with thousands of people. In case you’re looking for your all in one guide, Visit South Padre Island even runs a newsletter where you can sign up for exclusive offers and learn about all the latest happenings.
