When it comes to choosing a vacation destination, there are a few popular options to consider. Spain and the UK are two such options, but if you're looking for a place to enjoy a beautiful sunset on the beach and dance until dawn, there's only one place that comes to mind: Ibiza. Known as the White Isle, Ibiza has long been a favorite among tourists for its diverse offerings. From yoga retreats and hippy markets to superclubs and pool parties, there's something for everyone on this lively island.
However, it seems that the UK may have a contender for the title of "the Ibiza of the UK." Newquay, a popular spot in Cornwall, has been gaining recognition as a new holiday destination. While it has always been a favorite among British teens looking to unwind after exams, it is now being compared to the notorious party resorts of Malia and Magaluf. With its ideal atmosphere for a "first friends holiday," Newquay offers a level of freedom for young adults to have fun without the restrictions of a family holiday.
In recent years, beach parties and DJs have become a staple in Newquay, with popular spots like Fistral Beach Bar and Lusty Glaze Beach hosting lively events. In fact, Fistral Beach Bar has been dubbed as "the closest you'll get to Ibiza without getting on a plane." Videos posted on social media show a vibrant atmosphere with lively music, a saxophonist serenading party-goers, and even silent discos and fireworks. And the best part? It's much more affordable than a trip to Ibiza, with cheaper prices for drinks and entry fees.
One local summed it up perfectly, saying, "In Cornwall, I can go home after the party and not pay ridiculous prices for entry and drinks." And another added that the UK alternative was "not full of egos either." It seems that Newquay has managed to capture the essence of Ibiza without the high prices and pretentiousness.
Of course, there are some drawbacks to consider, such as the unpredictable British weather. While summer officially starts in the UK on June 20th, the meteorological start is June 1st. But regardless of the weather, Newquay offers a unique and exciting holiday experience that is not to be missed. So, if you're looking for a budget-friendly alternative to Ibiza without sacrificing the fun and vibrant atmosphere, Newquay may just be the perfect spot for you.
