As well as bars and clubs, Benidorm offers fun activities like water sports, jet skiing, paintball, water parks, go-karting and boat parties like the Benidorm Boat Party.
Malia, Crete
Malia’s nightlife has a real buzz about it and you can easily do it on a budget, so it’s no wonder it often tops the list for cheap lads holidays.
The legendary strip is full of pubs, bars, and clubs, but you don’t need to wait until nightfall to party thanks to beach clubs like Tropicana and Malibu Beach Bar bringing the daytime vibes.
