Favourite lads holiday destination?

A brain hemorrhage :shock:

That's more extreme than anything that happened to me when I went!

It was terrible mate. I had my fingers in his mouth for about 15 minutes as his tongue was preventing him from breathing properly and the ambulance took forever. The lad who lost the tickets also didn't get the insurance we all paid for so his parents had to pay for his recovery in hospital. I'm not sure how long he stayed in Majorca for either but I guess the bill was quite hefty too.

Sounds horrible. When we were there we saw a guy crash a scooter and break and dislocate his ankle as he did it. It was his 2nd day there and he was there for 2 weeks and I bet he spent most of that in hospital, if not longer.

Obviously yours is much worse, the ticket/insurance guy sounds like a total dickhead.

I was never interested at any age, though.

I'm going away with a few mates to Amsterdam in summer (third time I've been) which is more my kind of 'lads holiday' than Magaluf etc. I guess it's each to their own though.

I'm the same, places like Magaluf are chav infested STI havens full of slaaaaags whom look like they've been bred specifically to bring about mass yeast infections among the youth.

I've never done one before, only to Amsterdam and Prague. I prefer the shorter weekend breaks to be honest because I don't think I have any mates that I could put up with for any longer than 3-4 days. If I did though I'd avoid most of the big places and go for somewhere like Poland or Russia. Cheap as chips and probably an awesome club scene.

Never understood lads holidays. Not really for me as you usually see people from your own city or country there. Thats not fun.

Rather a city break instead plus most are dirtier than Magaluf etc

ayia napa wasnt for me, for one i dont like the going out at midnight and it being dead cos its considered early, im not a beach person so drinking all day id peaked at 9 i was shot by 12 and was trying to stay out till 4, that said we did find a strip club that was £10 entry 2 free drinks and a free dance, hands on above the waist, happy days

the only other lads holiday ive been on was barca, which i spent £500 in 3 days, i only took half that had to borrow the rest from one of the other lads, was ridiculous how fast the cash went, over £4 a pint of awful guiness

as for vegas - its a great place, strange and mad in equal measure, but lads holiday? you'd spend a fortune, drinking costs tons, you're better off buying the novelty drinks on the street and taking them into the casinos with you (when i was there the notion that you sit there playing on the slots and you get drink after drink didnt happen) and nearly every club is RnB ie pointless

ibiza without a doubt. West end is a shit hole but good for cheap beer and women but the clubs aropund the island are world class. Always a party somewhere no matter what time of day. Daytime parties like bora bora and superb. Cant beat sitting on the beach swigging from a bottle of vod with super hot women dancin round u and dirty house beats thumpin across the beach. Alcohol isnt the only thing readily available out there either if u like that sort of thing :winkold:

Before I became a sensible accountant, and got married and had kids etc, I used to find that it mattered more who you went away with rather than the destination. Probably the best lads holiday I ever had was in Salou. It's an absolute shithole of a place, and it was in October so everything was winding down, but I was with five of my best ever friends, and we just had a whale of a time.

I did Magaluf for a week and that was hell on Earth. I fell out with my best mate just because we hadn't slept in about 3 days and god knows the range of chemicals I had in my system. Once was enough for me.

I've got trips to Moscow and Barcelona in the future as my two best mates from University have places there - I imagine that will be a lot more fun.

Tenerife is quality for a lads holiday. I've been there twice on lads holidays and I've also been there to dj three other times. There are still alot of places over there that sell pints for 1 euro. If you can't pull in Tenerife then you may aswell give up and become a monk! Great weather too

As Xela said go on a holiday to Asia and you'll never look at Ibiza and the like the same way again

Xela and Tony are wise men. **** Europe for a lads holiday, seriously.

Go further a field to places like Thailand or the Philippines: it's much more of an adventure, the beaches/islands are better, and they're not full of English chavs.

If you're only 18/19 and/or never experienced a lads holiday then going to places like Malia is something I guess you have to do first, but once you've done it, and you're a bit older, I'd definitely start expanding your horizons.

As Xela said - the nightlife in places like Bangkok, Manila/Makati etc is **** amazing. Beats the shit of the poxy lads holiday hotspots we have in Europe.

(Although saying that, Ibiza is **** quality as long as you go to the right places and avoid the main strip in San Antonio town)

Anyone going on a lads holiday this year? Lot's of my mates went Ayia Napa last year, this year there's 7 of us going Laganas in Zante so if anyones been and got some tips on best bar's etc., please share :)

I went in 2008. It was great fun. Proper lads holiday mind and plenty of Brits which you may or may not like. The main strip has all the main bars and clubs. I used to enjoy Ghetto Bar and Cocktails and Dreams. Proper shit hole but good fun nevertheless.
