Magaluf – Majorca, Spain

Having Majorca as our first destination for holiday romances should come as no surprise, as it is where the iconic tv show is filmed, after all. 

The Spanish island is a great destination for singles; however, Magaluf is a favourite when looking for love.

The nightlife of Magaluf is well-known, as it draws a youthful crowd from all over the world.

The endless number of nightclubs, bars and beach parties make it a great place for singles wanting to socialise and make new connections.

Also, a great tip for finding people in your hotel is to stay at an adult-only resort.

The Sol House Studio Calvia Beach, is a perfect example. The hotel is set right on the beach and has two pools, two bars and plenty of entertainment.

You’ll find pool parties by day and DJ sets by night, and cocktails are served right to your sunbed throughout the day.

Seven-night stays cost from £831pp, including direct flights from London Luton on September 20, 2023.

Ibiza, Spain

Next up is another Spanish — and party — winner, Ibiza. 

Many ex-islanders also love this one, Millie Court, Molly Marsh and Maura Higgins have been spotted here regularly, and even Maya Jama has been seen there recently.

We could even go as far as to say that Ibiza is the place to be in the summer, whether you’re looking to meet someone to share the rest of your life with or just your holiday week.

The party city has so much to offer, from incredible beaches to world-famous clubs like Ushuaia, Hï Ibiza and Pacha, to name a few.

This summer, you’ll find residencies from David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Glitterbox and many more — and there’s nothing better than a pool party to meet your holiday flame. 

If you’re after a chilled-out hotel to relax in before taking in all action, the Azuline Hotel Mar Amantis & Mar Amantisii might be a perfect match.

The hotel is just ten minutes away from San Antonio’s world-famous nightlife but also features on-site entertainment.

A seven-night stay costs from £778pp on a half-board basis, including direct flights from London Gatwick on September 9, 2023.

Venice, Italy

We don’t want you to put all your eggs in the ‘party’ basket, so this option offers a different vibe.  

Venice is often referred to as the Italian city of love — and if you’re after a slow-burn romance on the notes of “Letters to Juliette”, this might be your destination. 

The Italian city is one of the more chilled destinations on the list, but you’ll still find plenty of parties and bars open until the early hours. 

The city’s cosy atmosphere and charming surroundings are the perfect backdrop for romantic encounters.

A few months ago, ex-islander Connagh Howard and his girlfriend Beth Dunlavey enjoyed a romantic getaway to Venice.

Venice is also a great option to visit after the peak summer season has ended, as it’ll still be filled with activities and things to see.

If you fancy a luxurious stay, the 5-star San Clemente Palace Kempinski might be a bit of you.

The hotel is located on a private island in the middle of the Venice Lagoon, so it doesn’t get much more romantic than this.

You’ll get on a complimentary 10-minute private boat trip from the famous St. Mark’s Square to reach the hotel.

You can bag three-night stays here from £1,566pp, with flights from London Gatwick on October 10, 2023.

Mykonos, Greece

Loved by many ex-islanders, Mykonos is a favourite when it comes to singles looking for romance.

Here, singles can dance, mingle, and enjoy the vibes at some of Mykonos’ renowned beach parties.

The clubs open until sunrise, including world-famous Paradise Beach, Cavo Paradiso and VOID, to name a few.

If you’re not much of a party animal, the town itself boasts coffee shops, incredible sandy beaches and plenty of activities to do.

If you’re after a traditional Greek vibe for your stay, the Yiannaki Hotel might tick all the boxes.

The hotel is decorated in the classic Greek colours of blue and white and is perched on a hill overlooking the harbour of Ornos – one of Mykonos’ best golden sands beaches.

Seven nights, including flights from London Luton, cost from £1,561, departing on September 19, 2023.

Madrid, Spain

If you’re not after a beach break, Madrid also comes on top of the list for single-friendly city escapes. 

Thanks to its exciting social scene, Madrid is known as the party capital of mainland Spain.

The city creates the perfect setting for an unforgettable holiday romance with its stunning architecture, nature and nightlife.

You’ll always find an event to attend, with anything from music and fashion to street art and theatre – perfect for meeting someone you share interests with.

To make it even better, you’ll find a varied multicultural mix here, with many other tourists, locals, ex-pats and students.

The Spanish city is also perfect for a short break, and the ME Madrid Reina Victoria would put you right in the heart of the action.

At the hotel, you’ll find a rooftop bar with some of the city’s best views.

Two nights here cost from £658pp, including direct flights from London Gatwick on September 24, 2023.

Amalfi Coast, Italy

The picturesque Amalfi Coast makes the perfect scenery for a summer romance.

This location is a tad different from the others; think less about clubbing and more about exploring, hiking and walking for hours.

You might join cooking classes, painting classes or even outdoor workout classes for a chilled holiday in the sun – and hopefully find someone like-minded there.

The four-star Hotel Corallo Sorrento is a great choice if you’d like to visit the area, as it offers amazing panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples, Mount Vesuvius, and the Sorrentine peninsula.

The hotel is located in Sant’Agnello village, which is perfectly placed in the centre of the action.

From there, you could also visit Naples, Positano, Capri’s islands, and even Pompeii’s archaeological excavations.

Week-long stays at Hotel Corallo Sorrento are available from £1,646pp with flights from London Gatwick on October 16, 2023.

Miami, USA 

Miami is one of the best party cities in the USA, so this is a fantastic choice for wild singles that don’t fear the long haul. 

The city has clubs, bars and parties (where you might even spot celebs like Drake). 

The South Beach district is renowned for its stunning beaches, nightlife, and unmatchable vibes, so it’s a popular place for singles who want to meet new faces.

For those looking to live it up in the US, the Fontainebleau Miami Beach resort might be the one.

The 22-acre hotel is a landmark in Miami and faces the Atlantic Ocean.
You’ll find incredible bars, fine dining restaurants, a mall and even a nightclub – all on-site.

Plus, there’s an oceanfront pool and a massive spa.

Seven nights here will cost from £2,080pp with flights from London Heathrow, departing September 20, 2023.
