Zrće Beach, Novalja, Croatia
This is one of the most up-and-coming party destinations in Europe and has already become a favourite among some of the world’s biggest DJs – in 2010, DJ Magazine voted the beach’s famous Papaya club #32 of the best 100 clubs in the world. There are plenty of bars and clubs lined up along this white-sand beach and while it may not be as big a resort as some of the ones in Ibiza or elsewhere, what it lacks in size it makes up for in atmosphere.
