St-Tropez. Top women all over - great atmosphere and many parties everywhere. A classic since I'm 1y old. Although I have to admit that my purpose of going there changed during the years

@MIXX: Rio during July/August/Sept/Okt is shit. Plenty or rain, temperatures drop here to around 18-26 = no one local will go to the beach or outside. Seriously a reason for travelling

No one goes outside? I guess everything is relative in life. This is summer weather for most cities in Canada. And people are livin it up as much as they can.

It's expensive but you get value for it. Perfect service, people & atmosphere. One of the best places in the world to party and enjoy life, during July/August that is.

@Luckystar I know. 26° would be the start of a very nice summer time in Western Europe to - but here (Rio) that means the beginning of winter. Beaches are literally empty during July-August-September. The only people you'll find are tourists, expats or myself

What would one pay to expect for a rental for the whole summer? Any good websites that list rentals in the area?

Msg me when you are on your way. If I'm at the beach house and my family isn't there at the time, you are welcome to crash there if you want.

Yep St-Tropez. I'm going there since I'm small as we have a family mansion there. If you want to rent, a website with affordable houses is homelidays.com . If you want to go more upscale;

- hotel Byblos is nice as it gives you direct access to one of the most (if not the
most) exclusive clubs in the world: Les Cave du Roy. There are many other hotels & upscale locations with larger rooms, but the location of Byblos and it's
reputation is great.

- http://www.alexandra-lloyd.com/rental/st...rental.php

I rented a mansion once with a group of friends, at Ramatuelle (beach near St-Tropez) where all the famous beach clubs are and helicopters fly up & down from the yachts to bring the VIPs to the beach. Price for a 5 bedroom mansion with pool was around 18 000 euros/week. The location is great & women will love it when you stay over here. The distance from the beach parties to your house = small = perfect to take someone back every night.

Make sure you rent a car. The area around St-Tropez is amazing and there are many nice beaches & parties which are hard to reach without a car.

If you want to enjoy St-Tropez but have to think about your budget, look for apartments and some hotels in a circle of around 50-100km from it. In that case you'll have to time a little when to enter St-Tropez. During high season you can spend 1-2 hours in traffic between all Ferarri's, Bugatti's and other nice toys to get into the village as it's just a 1 lane road.

Prices for other areas, houses-apartments or basic hotels will be around 80-150 euro/night.

I also like Cannes a lot. It will limit your chances to go to St-Tropez often, but you could plan some nights out to St-Tropez & come back in the morning, if you like driving. Cannes has some nice clubs & also amazing women during high season. Cannes is close to Nice & Monaco by the way (also nice to party & houses plenty of good-looking women).

Let me know if someone is there in July. I have easy entry into Club 55, Cave du Roy, Vips, ... Any questions: feel free to ask

I'm currently learning French and this place looks nice. Not to mention I was thinking of hitting up Paris for a bit as well.
So are you French and/or you're staying there this summer?

Me & 4 friends. We used an extra spare room 3 times for other friends coming over. It was a great 2 weeks trip to remember. Everyone still goes back every year, it's kind of our meeting point as most of us live in other countries.

@drymarro Italian/Belgian. I like Paris but it's not a good place to go during summer. Most people will travel, especially in July... It looks kind of dead except for it's tourists of course. The best time for sightseeing if that's why you would be there I would rather recommend to cross the border & hit a club in Milano during the weekend. Stay there 1 night. It's a rather short drive from Cannes/Nice/Monaco. Good idea you are learning French. It will help you A LOT ! Also, even here in Rio speaking French is considered as a huge plus with the richer girls. They all love the language and I see more and more of them are following courses.

@gio yeah I'm looking for somewhere to go during the summer so I'm always looking at the best options. If you have plans in that area during the summer.. let me know. It'd help if I had someone that knew the best places

I'm from Malta and I may decide to spend it here this Summer. It's a wild party in Summer and there's hot chicks of all shapes, sizes, colours and backgrounds. Any of you guys wanting a sun and sea getaway, give me a holla. I'm sure we'll make a killing!

How easy would it be to find reasonable accomodation in Malta for a couple of weeks during the summer?

Don't go to Sunny Beach. It's an absolute dump and full of drunken English idiots and a few other Europeans on package holidays. The night life is really commercial, bad cover bands in tacky English owned pubs followed by cheesey dance or RnB clubs. Was there a few years back after travelling around the Balkans, didn't know anything about it but was in the area so went for a look. Not a good place. You can probably pick up some drunken English girl (or maybe even a Dutch or Swede) easy enough though.

Agree a 100% ! Spend 1 night there & took the car back. The same for places such as Tenerife, Kreta,... all full of English pubs & drunks. Easy if you like to flag an English girl, but that's the only thing nice about it.

Smooth.

I may have my friend email you, I think he will be in that area. The cat is straight G. You two will do heavy damage there.

Gringo,

"Don't go to Sunny Beach. It's an absolute dump and full of drunken English idiots and a few other Europeans on package holidays."

Good to know, I had that place on my radar.

Are there not positives ie topless Bulgarian girls?

If you don't like sunny beach, there's many other places to go on the BG seaside. You can always move on to the next resort/town/village on the coast.

Post: #45

It's just a built up holiday resort consisting of hotels and bars, I don't think many Bulgarians actually live there or even go their to party, it's more marketed for drunken British teens. I recall meeting just one Bulgarian girl when I was there and she lived in a different part of the country just going there for the summer to work. You'll probably have more luck finding Bulgarian girls in other parts of the country. I went to Sofia, Kraimore and Bourgas, the latter had a big music fesitval on for the weekend which I thought was gonna be a good place to meet locals but people seemed a bit rude and unfriendly unfortunately. No Bulgarian flag.

I found little to like about Bulgaria actually, was least favourite country I visited in the whole of the Balkans and surrounding region.

[/quote]

In Summer there's a massive influx of tourists so the demand is high and prices go up. However, especially away from the more touristy areas, there's always apartments available at cheaper prices too. Malta is so small that you're never too far away from the action. Bottom line is there's always gonna be reasonable accomodation but it's best to not leave it to the last minute. There's also a thread on Couchsurfing specifically about accomodation in Malta. http://www.couchsurfing.org/group.html?gid=17362

It depends. Below is a picture of me at Sunny Beach a few years ago, with some girls I met there.

The place is quite big, and there are hotels that have 250 Euro/week all-inclusive packages - of course you'll meet the cheapest-ass British and former East Germany people there. There are dive bars that cater to them, with 1 Euro draft pints all night long, and 2 for 1 happy hours.

There are also better places. Club Lazur draws a good Scandinavian crowd, the Viking also, I hear. Grand club - you can meet Russians. Bulgarians go to Cacao, lots of fly girls there, but many of them are with local mobster guys who own most of the bars, hotels, and restaurants of the resort.

I do get laid every now and then there, but it's not as easy as apple pie. First, I agree there are lots of drunk dudes everywhere. But, there are girls to go around for everyone, too. Second, the place is big, so logistics are key - if a girl's hotel is 5 miles from yours, she may not want to walk back with you to your room, and her friends will try to drag her to hers. You also need staying power (Red Bulls) because there is no closing time, some girls want to stay and dance till the sun comes up.

If you do go, start from the the main drag, across from Kuban Hotel in the centre of the resort, there are a couple of elevated bars there, you sit and drink up on a platform and can check out and holla at girls walking below you, this alone can provide hours of entertainment, as the crowd of people walking on display below you never ends.

Nice. Done that a few times. Might do it again this year.
However, high school graduation parties are an even harder nut to crack than bachelorette parties, 20+ teenagers in a beeline, hard to isolate. Their whole class is watching, anti-slut defence is at max.
If you are a teenager yourself (Tony?) it may be easier to mix with the crowd and pull some ass. They will be drunk for the whole duration of their beach trip, starting from the bus on the way there.
