8 Party Islands for Your Spring Break
Whether you want to party in order to release all that suppressed steam you accumulated from stressful scholastic work, or you just need to recharge your batteries through relaxation, an island visit is the way to go.
Islands are naturally suited for this purpose due to their isolation from the mainland, meaning that their infrastructure is almost always oriented towards wellbeing and fun, especially during spring and summer.
However, it would be wise to keep in mind the safety concerns as well. You don’t want to find yourself in a position where you need to always think about offending the host culture, or what is the current political situation in that region.
In short, the closest to your culture, religion, and race/ethnicity is to the region you want to visit, the safer you will be, and most likely you will have more fun.
Additionally, don’t constrain yourself on visiting another part of your home country. The cost of a plane ticket can be well compensated or even neutralized completely by the lower expenses in other nations.
With that in mind, here are some of the best options for a spring break location you should take into consideration.
Ibiza
If you could say that one island in the world is fully specialized and devoted to catering to visitors who want to party, it would definitely be Ibiza, a gorgeous Island in the Mediterranean Sea, under the authority of Spain.
Although Ibiza’s night life is legendary, this is merely a tiny parcel of the full experience. Its true value comes from the rare fusion of modern infrastructure and services, ancient culture and architecture, and clean, beautiful beaches.
Cancun
It is a part of Mexico that is fully committed to tourism. It can be a bit crowded at times, but it is one of the most affordable islands to visit, especially if you don’t want to veer too much from home. It offers a rich range of daily and nightly activities, so there is not a minute of your stay that won’t go unfulfilled.
Bahamas
On the upper end of affordability, Bahamas consists of hundreds of islands offering every kind of activity and excursion you can imagine. Furthermore, its higher pricing serves as a great filter for what kind of people you will meet, and not be inconvenienced by crowds at the same time.
South Padre Island
If you live in the great state of Texas, South Padre Island should be at the top of your list. This tiny island can be accessed by a car and is perfectly suited for a low-cost break from daily anxieties. Although not as wild as some other islands, nonetheless, you will find that it has a unique charm accompanied with a rare opportunity to interact with dolphins.
Croatia
Eminently affordable and safe, Croatia is one of a kind vacation location as it offers enormous range of islands, coastline, and mainland – all compacted into a relatively small region.
Therefore, you will be able to visit multiple islands and ancient coastline cities, all within a single day. Hvar, Brac, Pag are the islands of choice that do not suffer from over-crowding, not to mention the pleasure you will receive from the famous Mediterranean cuisine. And if you are a fan of Game of Thrones, Dubrovnik is just within reach as well.
Jamaica
Jamaica is a fine way to experience the Caribbean, but only if you stay within the well-controlled and secured resorts. Due to its population makeup, it too can be considered a failed state, so seek out established pockets of security and leisure only. Of course, such resorts will be costlier in order to pay for the security. Jakes Hotel at Treasure Beach is the most affordable one.
Puerto Rico
More stable than Jamaica, and a US territory to boot, Puerto Rico is a superior alternative to Jamaica if you want the Caribbean experience. Although still suffering from the effects of past hurricanes, the developed and the most attractive Condado region recovered in record time.
Providenciales
As a part of Caicos archipelago and British Overseas Territory, you don’t need to worry yourself with going outside the resort, as the whole island is one!
Water sports, diving through breath-taking coral reefs, exquisite restaurants and clubs, humpback whale sighting, Providenciales will give you an experience you will cherish for the rest of your life.
