Spring Break Fever Is Spreading - The New Places To Go

The low down on where to go this Spring Break, from the best places to the best parties.

The traditional resorts for Spring Break are around the coast of the USA, with destinations in Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico topping the lists. Although the idea is huge in the United States, with thousands upon thousands of students hitting the beaches every year, the phenomenon spreads, with many European destinations becoming this year's hot spots. The main ingredients of a brilliant Spring Break are trendy and energetic resorts, mixed with some of the world's best parties. HolidayCheck has found this year's best places to go.

Croatia
The Mediterranean comes into its own when Spring Break happens.
The Croatian resort of Rovinj is becoming more and more popular as a destination, as people take advantage of the stunning coastlines and good weather. This year, the town has an amazing line-up planned, with the music of some world famous DJ's, as well as concerts, cruises and days on the beach. There's no dress code either; bikinis are the order of the day.

Spain
In 2010, Spain will be one of the most popular destinations. Known to package tour tourists for decades, Lloret de Mar, the night-life capital of the Costa Brava expects more than 8000 visitors this year. Hoteliers and travel operators are taking advantage of this craze by offering numerous all inclusive deals. The town is full of bars, clubs and fast food restaurants and also, its location enables it to offer some great activities, such as numerous types of water sports and golf to name but a few.

Greece
The home of the toga party, Greece is a great place to spend Spring Break. It has lots of opportunities for island and party hopping in its many coves and bays. There, you can book a cruise, and live it up in a different place every night. Days sunbathing on the boat by Kos can be joined by nights sipping cocktails with friends in Rhodes. In spring, the average temperature in Greece is 22°c, so there are few better places to top up the tan this Spring Break.

Italy
Italy also offers more than its fair share of things to do. Lignano Sabbiadoro, which in Italian means 'golden sands' is a city that has everything. Full of bars and clubs, and with an amazing sandy beach, they hold a party every year just for Spring Break which can't be missed.

Mexico
The most popular destination for an American Spring Break is Cancun. Cancun is a party city, where students take advantage of the week away from their studies to escape to hotter climes.
Many tour operators have party programmes, where they offer themed club nights, and give the party-goers wristbands, with which they receive discounts on drinks and club entry for the entire week. Although it can be said that Spring Break in Cancun is just about the night-life, special trips are organised to see historical sites, such as the Mayan ruins, so that every minute of Spring Break is an unforgettable one.

The Turks and Caicos
The Turks and Caicos islands are the ones to watch in the Caribbean this year. They will be filled with holiday makers looking for a good time on the exclusive resorts. The establishments there specialise in spas and luxury, and they offer the Caribbean's very best parties at night time, and opportunities to relax during the day, with some of the world's finest underwater diving sites and pristine beaches.
