12-Day Europe Party Trip Itinerary from France for 22 Male Friends

Day 1 · Sun, Apr 26
Paris

Arrival and kickoff

  1. Café de Flore — Saint-Germain-des-Prés — Classic first-night Paris café to ease everyone in with drinks and people-watching; evening, ~1 hour; approx. €15–25 pp.
  2. Le Caveau de la Huchette — Latin Quarter — Packed, high-energy jazz cellar that works well for a kickoff group night; late evening, ~2 hours.
  3. Seine riverbanks near Pont Neuf — 1st/6th arr. — Easy post-dinner stroll to keep the night moving without overplanning; night, ~45 minutes.
  4. Bouillon Chartier Grands Boulevards — 9th arrondissement — Big-group-friendly, cheap French meal with fast service; dinner, ~1.5 hours; approx. €15–25 pp.
  5. Harry’s New York Bar — Opéra district — Iconic cocktail stop to start the party properly; late night, ~1 hour.

Evening

Start soft at Café de Flore in Saint-Germain-des-Prés — it’s the right kind of Paris “first night” place: old-school, a little expensive, and perfect for the whole crew to settle in with beers, spritzes, or a round of pastis while people-watching on Boulevard Saint-Germain. Expect roughly €15–25 per person depending on what you order, and don’t overthink it; service can be slow, but that’s part of the ritual. If you’re arriving from the station or hotel, a quick Metro hop or taxi works best, then keep the energy easy rather than trying to cram too much into the first hour.

Dinner

Head to Bouillon Chartier Grands Boulevards in the 9th arrondissement for the big-group dinner. This is one of the best calls in Paris for 22 guys because it’s loud, efficient, and built for moving tables fast — exactly what you want on arrival night. Go with the classics: steak frites, sausage with lentils, onion soup, crème caramel, and plenty of wine carafes. It’s usually around €15–25 per person, and if you arrive after 8:00 pm be ready for a queue; earlier is smoother. From here, the atmosphere shifts naturally from dinner to night out without needing a complicated plan.

Late Night

Make your way to Le Caveau de la Huchette in the Latin Quarter for the kickoff energy. It’s a legendary jazz cellar, tight and sweaty in the best way, with live music that usually runs late and a crowd that gets lively fast. This is not a sit-down cocktail place — it’s more of a dance, drink, and lean into the chaos venue, which suits a big friends trip perfectly. After a couple of hours, if everyone wants a breather, walk it off with a short drift along the Seine riverbanks near Pont Neuf; it’s an easy 45-minute reset and one of the best low-effort Paris night walks, especially if the weather’s decent.

Final Stop

If the group still has fuel, finish at Harry’s New York Bar near Opéra — one of those proper old-school cocktail bars where the vibe is historic but still energetic enough for a last round. It’s a good place for a final whiskey sour, sidecar, or a late beer before splitting up. Taxis back are easiest after midnight, but the Metro is still straightforward if you’re staying central; just keep an eye on closing times and don’t let the first night turn into a logistical mission.

Day 2 · Mon, Apr 27
Paris

City energy and nightlife

  1. Le Marais streets around Rue des Rosiers — Le Marais — Best area for a relaxed day walk, shopping, and pre-party energy; late morning, ~1.5 hours.
  2. L’As du Fallafel — Le Marais — Easy group lunch with one of Paris’s most famous casual bites; lunch, ~1 hour; approx. €12–18 pp.
  3. Centre Pompidou piazza — Beaubourg — Good central meet-up spot with lively street atmosphere before the night starts; afternoon, ~45 minutes.
  4. Candelaria — Le Marais — Small, high-quality cocktail bar that suits a warm-up stop for a group; early evening, ~1.5 hours.
  5. Bastille / Rue de Lappe bars — Bastille — Dense nightlife strip with lots of options for a male group to hop between venues; late evening, ~3 hours.
  6. Le Perchoir Ménilmontant — 11th arrondissement — Rooftop finale for views and late drinks after the club round; late night, ~1.5 hours.

Morning

Start in Le Marais around Rue des Rosiers and just let the area do the work for you. This is one of the best parts of Paris for a mixed-energy group: narrow streets, vintage shops, sneaker stores, a few good cafés, and enough movement that nobody feels stuck in a museum schedule. It’s especially good late morning, before it gets packed. Wander a bit through Rue des Francs-Bourgeois and Rue Vieille du Temple too, and keep it loose — this is more about atmosphere than ticking boxes. If you’re moving as a big crew, split into smaller groups for shopping and meet back up in about 90 minutes.

Lunch

Head straight to L’As du Fallafel for an easy, no-drama group lunch. Expect a queue, especially at peak lunch hours, so if you want to keep the day smooth, go a little before or after the main rush. Budget roughly €12–18 per person, and order fast because it moves quickly once you’re at the counter. It’s casual, messy in the best way, and exactly the kind of place that works when you’ve got a lot of people and don’t want a long sit-down meal. After lunch, walk it off a bit through the surrounding lanes rather than hopping straight into transport — Le Marais is made for that.

Afternoon to early evening

Make your way to the Centre Pompidou piazza in Beaubourg for an easy regroup spot before the night starts. The square has a constant stream of street performers, skaters, tourists, and people just hanging out, so it gives the whole crew a lively “Paris is awake” feeling without needing a reservation. From Le Marais, it’s a simple 10–15 minute walk; if people are lazy or running late, a short metro ride on Line 1 or Line 11 works too. After that, slide back toward Le Marais for Candelaria, one of the city’s best small cocktail bars. It’s intimate rather than massive, so for a group this size, go with a staggered arrival and keep it to a warm-up stop rather than trying to dominate the place. Drinks are usually around €14–18, and the vibe gets going early evening — perfect before the night gets louder.

Evening to late night

From there, go full nightlife mode at Bastille / Rue de Lappe bars. This is one of the easiest areas in Paris for a bigger male group because you can bar-hop without overplanning: one spot for beers, another for shots, another if the first place is dead. The whole strip gets going properly after 10:30 pm, and you’ll find everything from casual pubs to louder, more packed rooms. Keep an eye on cover charges and drink prices — beer is usually around €8–10, cocktails more like €12–15 in the busier spots. For the final move, take a taxi or night bus east into the 11th and end at Le Perchoir Ménilmontant. It’s the right kind of late-night sendoff: rooftop views, a more relaxed crowd, and a chance to debrief the night with one last round. It’s best after midnight, and if the weather’s good, the terrace is worth it even with a small wait.

Day 3 · Tue, Apr 28
Nice

Beach club atmosphere

Getting there from Paris
TGV INOUI / OUIGO high-speed train via SNCF Connect (5h30–6h, ~€40–120). Best to take a morning departure so you still arrive in time for a late lunch and easy beach time.
Flight (Air France / easyJet via Google Flights, Expedia, or airline site) is faster in air (~1h30) but door-to-door is often 4–5h and usually costs ~€80–200+.
  1. Promenade des Anglais — Nice waterfront — Smooth arrival-day intro with sea views and an easy walk to reset after Paris; late morning, ~1 hour.
  2. Café de Turin — Place Garibaldi — Reliable seafood stop for a proper Riviera lunch; lunch, ~1.5 hours; approx. €25–40 pp.
  3. Colline du Château — Old Nice edge — Best viewpoint in the city and a good group photo stop before the beach; afternoon, ~1 hour.
  4. Plage Beau Rivage — Quai des États-Unis — Easy beach-club-style lounging without leaving the city center; afternoon, ~2.5 hours.
  5. Wayne’s Bar — Old Nice — Simple, lively pre-club drink spot with a party crowd; evening, ~1.5 hours.
  6. High Club — Promenade des Anglais area — Major Nice nightlife hit for a big group going out hard; late night, ~3 hours.

Morning

By the time you roll into Nice, keep the first hour light and easy: drop bags, grab water, and head straight for Promenade des Anglais to reset after the train. This is the classic Riviera move, and it works especially well for a big group because nobody has to think too hard—just walk the seafront, watch the scooters and cyclists, and let the sea do its thing. If you’re starting late morning, the light is strong and the water looks absurdly blue; expect a simple coffee or juice stop nearby to run about €3–6, and keep the pace loose so the crew doesn’t burn energy too early.

Lunch and Afternoon

For lunch, go to Café de Turin at Place Garibaldi and lean into the seafood-right-by-the-coast vibe. It’s a classic Nice institution and a good fit for a 22-person male crew because the menu is straightforward: oysters, shellfish platters, fish, fries, chilled wine, beer, and plenty of room for a proper Riviera lunch without it feeling too polished. Budget roughly €25–40 per person depending on how hard you order. After that, wander up to Colline du Château; it’s a short walk from the old town edge, and the climb is worth it for the wide-open view over the bay, port, and rooftops. Go for the photo stop, but don’t rush—this is one of those places where the group naturally breaks into smaller clusters and that’s fine. From there, head down to Plage Beau Rivage on Quai des États-Unis for the real reset: book loungers if you can, or just claim space for a few hours, order drinks, and let it feel like the first proper beach-club-style afternoon of the trip. Expect beach club prices to be higher than a normal beach day, so plan on roughly €20–40 for a lounger and more if you’re ordering food and cocktails.

Evening

Keep dinner-and-drinks close to the center so nobody has to overthink logistics. Start at Wayne’s Bar in Old Nice for a loud, easy pre-club round; it’s the kind of place where a mixed-energy group can gather, warm up, and decide who’s actually ready for a long night. Then head to High Club near the Promenade des Anglais once everyone’s properly in party mode. It’s one of the better-known late-night spots in Nice for a big group, so aim to arrive before the peak crowd if you want to get in smoothly and avoid wasting time at the door. Keep the night simple: one solid pre-drink, one big club, and enough flexibility for people to peel off if they need to.

Day 4 · Wed, Apr 29
Cannes

Riviera nightlife

Getting there from Nice
TER regional train via SNCF Connect (25–35 min, ~€5–10). Most practical: frequent, cheap, and ideal for a morning move before the market and beach day.
Uber/taxi via local apps (30–45 min, ~€70–100 depending on traffic) if you have lots of luggage or want a direct door-to-door ride.
  1. Marché Forville — Old Town Cannes — Great morning market for coffee, snacks, and local energy; morning, ~1 hour.
  2. Bobo Bistro — Rue des Frères Pradignac — Solid group lunch in the center of Cannes; lunch, ~1.5 hours; approx. €25–40 pp.
  3. La Croisette — Cannes waterfront — Iconic promenade to walk off lunch and people-watch near the luxury hotels; afternoon, ~1 hour.
  4. Mademoiselle Gray Plage Barrière — Croisette beach — Strong beach-club vibe with good food and drinks for a larger crew; afternoon, ~2.5 hours.
  5. Le Baoli — Port Canto area — Famous Cannes party venue that fits a late, loud night out; evening, ~4 hours.

Morning

By the time you get into Cannes, keep it loose and easy: this is a place that rewards wandering more than overplanning. Head straight into the old center and start at Marché Forville in Le Suquet. It’s best earlier in the day, when the stalls are still lively and the produce, cheese, olives, socca, and warm pastries are moving fast. Grab coffee, a few snacks for the group, and let everyone split up for 20 minutes so the market doesn’t feel crowded; most of it winds down by early afternoon, and stalls are strongest before noon. If you want a quick sit-down nearby afterward, the surrounding lanes are full of small cafés, but honestly the market is the whole point here.

Lunch

From Marché Forville, it’s an easy walk back toward the center for Bobo Bistro on Rue des Frères Pradignac. This is a good group lunch spot because it’s central, relaxed, and can handle a bigger crew without feeling too formal. Expect around €25–40 per person depending on drinks and how hard the table goes on burgers, salads, pastas, and cocktails. In Cannes, lunch service is usually strongest from about 12:00 to 14:30, so it works nicely before the beach rhythm kicks in. If the crew is moving slow, this is one of those places where nobody will mind a long, chatty meal.

Afternoon

After lunch, take the classic stroll down La Croisette to burn off the food and get the full Cannes photo-op. This stretch is all about the waterfront mood: yachts, luxury hotels, big sunglasses, and constant people-watching. It’s best as a slow walk rather than a mission, so don’t rush it. From there, head into Mademoiselle Gray Plage Barrière on the Croisette for the proper beach-club part of the day. Reserve if you can, especially for a group of 22, because the better shaded tables and loungers go quickly. Expect beach-club pricing rather than casual beach pricing—think drinks, plates to share, and a spend that can climb fast if the group keeps ordering. The vibe is strong for a male group: good energy, loud enough to feel like a scene, but still polished.

Evening

For the night, make Le Baoli in the Port Canto area your late stop. This is where Cannes turns up properly, and it suits a big crew that wants a loud, full-send evening rather than a quiet dinner. It usually gets going later than people expect, so don’t arrive too early unless you’re specifically going for drinks first; the real energy builds as the night goes on. Plan on a taxi or rideshare from the Croisette area so nobody has to deal with parking or walking in dress shoes. Dress smart, keep ID on you, and if you want the smoothest entry for a group this size, aim to be organized about table booking or at least split into a couple of smaller arrivals.

Day 5 · Thu, Apr 30
Monaco

Glamour and late-night scene

Getting there from Cannes
TER regional train via SNCF Connect (40–55 min, ~€7–15). Go in the morning so you arrive comfortably before the Oceanographic Museum stop.
Private taxi/Uber (45–70 min, ~€90–140) for a direct transfer if traveling with a group and luggage.
  1. Oceanographic Museum of Monaco terrace — Monaco-Ville — Starts with the best view-heavy stop while everyone is fresh; morning, ~1.5 hours.
  2. Market Square / Condamine Market — La Condamine — Good casual lunch area with multiple no-fuss options for a group; lunch, ~1 hour.
  3. Le Métropole Shopping Monte-Carlo — Carré d’Or — Easy upscale wander and cool-down before the evening; afternoon, ~1 hour.
  4. Larvotto Beach — Larvotto — Best daytime beach hang in Monaco for a mixed-pace group; afternoon, ~2 hours.
  5. Twiga Monte-Carlo — Port Hercule — Classic dinner-to-club transition spot for a serious party night; dinner/late night, ~4 hours.
  6. Casino de Monte-Carlo — Carré d’Or — Optional late stop for the full Monaco glamour experience; late night, ~1 hour.

Morning

Arrive in Monaco-Ville and go straight to the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco terrace while everyone still has energy and good hair. This is one of the easiest “wow” starts in the city: big sea views, the old-rocky promontory setting, and enough visual drama to wake up the whole group without feeling like a museum lecture. Plan about 1.5 hours, and if you want the smoothest flow, buy tickets online ahead of time; adult entry is usually around €19–22. The terrace is the real payoff, so don’t rush it — take your photos, look out over the harbor, and then drift back down through the old town rather than trying to speed through Monaco.

Lunch

From Monaco-Ville, walk down toward La Condamine for Market Square / Condamine Market, which is exactly the right kind of lunch stop for a 22-person crew: casual, flexible, and not precious. The market hall and surrounding stalls are good for quick bites, sandwiches, socca, pasta, salads, and drinks, with enough variety that nobody has to agree on one restaurant. It’s also one of the best places in Monaco to eat without blowing the budget; expect roughly €12–25 per person depending on how hard the group goes. Sit where you can, grab something simple, and don’t overthink it — this is the reset before the afternoon shift into the more polished side of town.

Afternoon

After lunch, head up into Carré d’Or for a low-effort, high-comfort wander through Le Métropole Shopping Monte-Carlo. Even if nobody is really shopping, it works well as an air-conditioned pause in the middle of a hot day, and it gives the group a clean transition from lunch into beach mode. You’ll find the usual luxury mix, cafés, and a few easy places to cool down for about an hour. From there, it’s a short ride or taxi down to Larvotto Beach, which is the best place in Monaco for a group that wants some sun without too much hassle. Expect more polished beach clubs and a busy promenade vibe; sunbed prices can get steep, but the public stretch is free, so it’s easy to keep it flexible. Give yourselves about 2 hours here, then head back inland to change and get ready for the night.

Evening

For dinner and the start of the big night, go to Twiga Monte-Carlo near Port Hercule. This is the right Monaco move for a party-heavy crew: dinner that naturally turns into drinks, then music, then the clubby late-night shift without needing to relocate. Reserve well in advance, especially with a large group, because this is not a walk-in-friendly situation on a busy night. Dinner will usually run €60–120+ per person depending on what you order and drink, and that’s before the evening properly escalates. If people still have gas after that, finish with Casino de Monte-Carlo for the full glamour hit — even just stepping into the square at night is worth it. You’ll need to dress properly, keep it sharp, and budget for the tables if anyone wants to play, but even without gambling it’s a classic final Monaco stop before the crew calls it a night.

Day 6 · Fri, May 1
Barcelona

Clubby city break

Getting there from Monaco
Flight from Nice (Air France, Vueling, easyJet; book on Google Flights or airline site) + train/taxi from Monaco to Nice Airport (30–45 min). Total door-to-door ~4.5–6h, ~€90–250+. Best on an early morning departure to protect the Barcelona arrival day.
If flights are expensive, combine TER to Nice + a budget flight from NCE; avoid trying to overland this leg in one day.
  1. Barceloneta Beach — Barceloneta — Fast way to get into Barcelona’s beach-and-party mood after arrival; morning, ~1.5 hours.
  2. Can Majó — Barceloneta — Great seafood lunch for a big crew close to the water; lunch, ~1.5 hours; approx. €30–45 pp.
  3. Passeig del Born — El Born — Best area for a casual afternoon stroll, bars, and getting oriented; afternoon, ~1 hour.
  4. El Xampanyet — El Born — Legendary cava-and-tapas stop that’s perfect for starting the night early; evening, ~1.5 hours.
  5. Opium Barcelona — Port Olímpic — One of the city’s top big-night club options right on the waterfront; late night, ~4 hours.

Morning

By the time you land and get settled, keep the first move simple: head straight to Barceloneta Beach and let the city do the warming up for you. This is the quickest way to flip into Barcelona mode—sand, sun, joggers, skaters, beach bars, and a steady flow of people all day. For a group of 22, it’s worth claiming a spot a little away from the busiest central stretch so nobody feels packed in; bring water, sunscreen, and a few euros for sunbeds if you want them, though most people just spread out on towels. Expect a very casual beach scene and an easy first hang, with plenty of room to wander the promenade or grab a quick drink after.

Lunch

For lunch, walk or short-ride over to Can Majó in Barceloneta, one of the better seafood choices for a big crew near the water. It’s a classic place for paella, grilled fish, and big shared plates, and it works well if you’re arriving mid-day because you can sit down without needing to overthink the order—just do a few rice dishes, croquetas, fried seafood, and bottles of cold white wine or beer. Budget roughly €30–45 per person, more if you go heavy on wine and starters, and try to reserve if possible since large groups can slow things down. Service is friendly but not rushed, which is exactly right here.

Afternoon

After lunch, head into El Born and take a loose walk along Passeig del Born, which is one of the best “we’ve arrived” streets in Barcelona for a group like this. It’s lively but not chaotic, lined with bars, terraces, boutiques, and easy side streets that keep everyone entertained without needing a fixed plan. If people want to split off for a bit, this is the area to do it—some can grab coffee, others can browse, and everyone can reconvene without stress. From here, the vibe starts to shift from beach day to night-out day, so keep it relaxed and avoid doing too much before dinner.

Evening

Start the night early at El Xampanyet in El Born, which is exactly the kind of place that gets a big guys’ trip moving: loud, packed, old-school, and built around cava, anchovies, jamón, and fast tapas. It’s not a long, polished dinner spot—it’s more of a standing-room, shared-tables, first-rounds kind of place, so it works best if you go in with flexible expectations and a readiness to order plenty of small things. From there, head to Opium Barcelona at Port Olímpic for the late-night push; this is one of the city’s big waterfront clubs, usually strongest after midnight, with a dressier door than a beach bar but exactly the right energy for a 22-person party group. Plan on a cab or rideshare between El Born and Port Olímpic—it’s short, but faster and easier than trying to walk it when everyone’s ready to go all in.

Day 7 · Sat, May 2
Barcelona

Party district focus

  1. Mercat de Sant Antoni — Sant Antoni — Good low-key morning market stop with coffee and snacks before the bigger night; morning, ~1 hour.
  2. Federal Café Sant Antoni — Sant Antoni — Reliable brunch stop for a hungry group; brunch, ~1 hour; approx. €15–22 pp.
  3. Eixample Modernist streets — Eixample — Easy walking area to fill the afternoon between meals and nightlife; afternoon, ~1.5 hours.
  4. Cervecería Catalana — Rambla de Catalunya — Efficient tapas dinner spot that handles groups well; dinner, ~1.5 hours; approx. €20–35 pp.
  5. Shoko Barcelona — Port Olímpic — Strong dinner-to-club option with a lively international crowd; late evening, ~4 hours.
  6. Bogatell Beach — Poblenou — Good post-club or sunset reset if the group wants a calmer finish earlier in the night; late night, ~45 minutes.

Morning

Ease into the day in Sant Antoni at Mercat de Sant Antoni. It’s one of the best low-key starts in the city for a big group because it feels local, not touristy, and you can split up without losing people. Go before noon for the best flow: grab strong coffee, fresh pastries, jamón sandwiches, fruit cups, or a quick beer if the day is already moving in that direction. Expect most market stalls to be active from early morning through early afternoon, with the liveliest window usually before 1 pm. If you need to keep the crew together, agree on a quick “meet at the coffee stand” rule and move on before everybody disappears into snacks.

From there, walk a few minutes to Federal Café Sant Antoni for brunch. This is the kind of place that works well for a hungry group because the menu is broad, the pace is relaxed, and nobody has to overthink it. Order the eggs, avocado toast, pancakes, or bowls, and don’t be surprised if the bill lands around €15–22 per person depending on drinks. It gets busy late morning, so if you show up around 11:30 you’ll usually avoid the worst of the queue. The area around Carrer del Parlament is good for a short post-brunch wander, but keep it easy — Barcelona nights can get long, so today is about pacing, not crushing the itinerary.

Afternoon

Spend the afternoon walking through the Eixample Modernist streets, which is basically the city’s most satisfying “just roam” zone. Stick to the grid between Passeig de Gràcia, Carrer d’Aragó, and Rambla de Catalunya and let the architecture do the work: ornate balconies, elegant facades, wide sidewalks, and enough café terraces that nobody feels trapped in a formal sightseeing plan. If you want a landmark or two without turning it into a museum day, this is the right area to spot Casa Batlló and La Pedrera from the outside and keep moving. It’s an easy 20–25 minute walk from Sant Antoni, or a short metro hop if the group starts drifting.

Evening

For dinner, head to Cervecería Catalana on Rambla de Catalunya. It’s popular for a reason: fast turnover, familiar tapas, and enough table energy to handle a group without killing the mood. Book ahead if you can, especially for a party-sized crew, because dinner from 8:30 pm onward gets busy fast. This is a good place to keep things efficient: patatas bravas, bombas, grilled seafood, croquetas, pan con tomate, and a few rounds of beer or tinto de verano before the night really starts. From there, make the clean move to Shoko Barcelona at Port Olímpic for the late-night push. It’s the right kind of room for this trip — international crowd, DJ energy, and a smooth dinner-to-club transition — and it usually starts feeling properly alive after midnight, running well into the early morning. If the energy drops or people want a softer end instead of a full marathon, peel away at the end and finish with a reset at Bogatell Beach in Poblenou. Even 45 quiet minutes on the sand does a lot after a long night, and it’s one of the better places in the city to cool off without immediately getting dragged into another scene.

Day 8 · Sun, May 3
Ibiza Town

Riverfront nightlife

Getting there from Barcelona
Direct flight (Vueling, Iberia, Ryanair, or Air Europa via Google Flights) from Barcelona to Ibiza (1h–1h10 flight time; ~€30–120, often more with bags). Aim for a morning or early-afternoon departure so you can still do Dalt Vila and the port.
Ferry is much slower (typically 8–9h overnight/long daytime sail, ~€40–100) and is only worth it if you strongly prefer sea travel.
  1. Dalt Vila — Ibiza Town — Start with the old fortified town before the island gets fully into party mode; morning, ~1.5 hours.
  2. Croissant Show — Ibiza Town center — Simple breakfast stop to fuel the day without wasting time; morning, ~45 minutes; approx. €10–18 pp.
  3. Ibiza Port — Marina district — Easy lunch-and-wander zone with boats, bars, and a lively waterfront feel; lunch/afternoon, ~1.5 hours.
  4. S’Escalinata — Dalt Vila steps — Fun laid-back drinks stop with strong atmosphere and group appeal; afternoon, ~1 hour.
  5. Pacha Ibiza — Talamanca — One of the island’s most famous clubs and a must for a big party trip; late night, ~5 hours.

Morning

Arrive in Ibiza Town and keep the first part of the day grounded in Dalt Vila before the island properly wakes up. The old fortress is at its best early: cooler streets, fewer crowds, and that slow climb through stone gateways, whitewashed lanes, and sea-facing viewpoints. Give yourselves about 1.5 hours to wander without rushing — the best part is just moving from one terrace to the next and catching the views over the harbor. If you want a good photo stop, the upper ramparts are usually the payoff. After that, drop down into the center for breakfast at Croissant Show, a simple, efficient fuel stop rather than a long sit-down meal. Expect classic pastries, coffee, juices, and easy takeaway if your group is half-ready to keep moving; budget roughly €10–18 per person and aim to be in and out in under 45 minutes.

Lunch + Afternoon

From the center, make your way to Ibiza Port and keep it loose. This is the right zone for a lunch that turns into a long waterfront hang: yachts, people-watching, bars with shaded tables, and just enough energy to remind everyone you’re on a party island without forcing the pace. It’s a nice place to split the group for a bit — some can grab a late lunch, others can browse the marina and shop fronts. In the afternoon, head back toward Dalt Vila and settle at S’Escalinata, the laid-back steps-side hangout that feels made for a big crew. It’s a strong spot for cold drinks and a bit of downtime before the night starts; think 1 hour here, easy, with the vibe doing most of the work. If you’re around early evening, it’s one of those places where the staircase itself becomes the social scene, so don’t overcomplicate it.

Evening

Save your energy and head to Pacha Ibiza in Talamanca for the main event. This is the one place on the day that deserves proper planning: dress a little smarter than you would for beach bars, arrive with the group together if possible, and expect the night to run late — easily 5 hours once you’re inside and settled. Cover charges and lineups vary a lot by event, but for a major night out it’s smart to budget roughly €40–100+ depending on the DJ and timing, with drinks well above mainland prices. Get there early enough to avoid the worst queue, and if you want a cleaner exit later, pre-arrange taxis before you go in because the post-club crush can be annoying.

Day 9 · Mon, May 4
San Antonio

Island party base

Getting there from Ibiza Town
Taxi/ride-hail (15–25 min, ~€20–30). Best practical choice since the transfer is short and direct; go whenever you’re ready in the morning.
Rental car/scooter is useful only if you’ll move around the island a lot; buses are cheaper but slower and less convenient with a group.
  1. Cala Gració — San Antonio bay — Calm beach start that balances the previous night; morning, ~1.5 hours.
  2. Café Mambo — Sunset strip — Iconic pre-party lunch/drinks spot with the best warm-up energy in town; lunch/afternoon, ~2 hours; approx. €25–50 pp.
  3. Sunset Strip bars — West San Antonio — Classic hop-between-bars zone for a loose afternoon; late afternoon, ~2 hours.
  4. O Beach Ibiza — San Antonio bay — Best daytime party venue in the area for music, pools, and a big group scene; afternoon/evening, ~4 hours.
  5. Es Paradis — San Antonio center — Solid follow-up club with a lighter, fun party finish; late night, ~3 hours.

Morning

Start the day gently at Cala Gració and don’t overthink it — this is the right reset after a late Ibiza night. It’s a smaller, calmer bay than the big party beaches, with clear water, soft sand, and just enough activity to feel alive without being chaotic. For a group this size, aim to get there before 10:30 so you can claim a good stretch of sand, settle in, and do a proper swim before the sun gets heavy. There are usually a few low-key chiringuito options around the bay for water, coffee, and simple breakfast bits, and you’ll want to keep expectations relaxed rather than hunting for a big sit-down brunch.

Lunch and early afternoon

By midday, head over to Café Mambo on the Sunset Strip and lean into the classic San Antonio rhythm: beers, chilled cocktails, easy music, and a long lunch that slowly turns into pre-party mode. It’s one of those places where the setting matters as much as the food, so don’t rush it — expect mains and drinks to run about €25–50 per person depending on how hard the table goes with cocktails. A reservation is smart for a crew this large, especially if you want everyone seated together; otherwise, arrive earlier and be flexible. From there, the natural move is to drift a few steps along the waterfront and start bar-hopping the Sunset Strip bars — keep it loose, share rounds, and use this stretch to set the tone rather than peak too early.

Late afternoon to night

As the light starts to soften, make O Beach Ibiza your main daytime-party base. This is where the group energy really clicks: poolside DJs, bottle service if you want it, and a big social scene that works well for a male group as long as you book ahead and keep an eye on entry rules and minimum spends. Expect to stay a few hours and spend a decent amount if you’re doing it properly — a big table or daybed can move quickly into serious money, so check prices before you commit. When the afternoon starts fading, head back toward San Antonio center for Es Paradis; it’s a very Ibiza-style finish, with a lighter, glossy club feel and usually a more playful crowd than the hard-edged superclubs. If you want the night to run smoothly, eat something substantial before you go out, keep the group moving together, and don’t leave the final club decision until everyone is already too tired to care.

Day 10 · Tue, May 5
San Antonio

Club and beach scene

  1. Cala Bassa Beach Club (CBbC) — Cala Bassa — Ideal full-day beach club with food, drinks, and easy group logistics; morning to afternoon, ~5 hours; approx. €50–90 pp.
  2. Hostal La Torre — Cap Negret — Great sunset stop with relaxed music after the beach session; sunset, ~1.5 hours.
  3. Sa Capella — Near San Antonio — Memorable dinner spot in a converted church that feels special without being too formal; dinner, ~1.5 hours; approx. €35–60 pp.
  4. Eden Ibiza — San Antonio — Big-name club option for the final heavy night in Ibiza; late night, ~4 hours.
  5. Ibiza Rocks Bar — San Antonio center — Easy afterparty option if the group wants to keep going; late night, ~1.5 hours.

Morning

Head out to Cala Bassa Beach Club (CBbC) early and make this your all-day anchor. It’s one of the best setups on the island for a big group because everything is handled for you: sunbeds, food, drinks, music, and easy beach access all in one place. Expect to spend around €50–90 per person once you factor in loungers and a proper lunch, and book ahead if you want the crew together rather than scattered. The easiest move is to arrive before noon, claim your spot, then let the day unfold slowly with swims, shared plates, and a few rounds of cold drinks. From San Antonio, a taxi or pre-booked transfer is the practical option; it’s not a long ride, but it’s worth avoiding logistics headaches with 22 guys.

Afternoon to Sunset

Stay put through the warm part of the day, then ease into the evening at Hostal La Torre in Cap Negret. This is the kind of place locals use when they want sunset without the full-blown club scene: good music, open sea views, and a crowd that’s dressed but not trying too hard. Go a little before sunset so you can grab a table or stand near the terrace edge; it gets busy fast and the light is the whole point. A taxi from Cala Bassa works best here, and from Hostal La Torre you’re close enough to roll straight into dinner without any awkward gap.

Dinner

Book Sa Capella for dinner and keep it as the “special but still fun” meal of the night. The old church setting gives it real drama — stone walls, candlelight, and that slightly hidden-away feel that makes it memorable without becoming stuffy. It’s a strong choice for a group this size if you reserve well in advance and agree on a simple order strategy; shared starters and a few bottles usually work better than trying to micromanage everything. Expect roughly €35–60 per person depending on drinks, and plan a taxi from Hostal La Torre so nobody is dealing with parking or walking after sunset drinks.

Late Night

After dinner, go hard at Eden Ibiza in San Antonio if the group still has energy — this is the proper final-night club move. Arrive later rather than too early; Ibiza clubs tend to build slowly, and the room hits harder once the main crowd is inside. Cover charges and drink prices vary a lot by DJ night, so it’s worth checking the lineup in advance and deciding whether you want to commit to tables or keep it loose. If some of the crew isn’t done after closing time, finish at Ibiza Rocks Bar in the center of San Antonio, which is the easier, more social afterparty option for one last round before calling it.

Day 11 · Wed, May 6
Amsterdam

Final big-night city

Getting there from San Antonio
Flight from Ibiza Airport (IBZ) to Amsterdam Schiphol (AMS) via KLM, Transavia, easyJet, or Vueling/connecting options on Google Flights. Expect ~2h45–3h flight time; book a morning or midday flight for same-day arrival and evening activities.
If nonstop options are limited, choose a one-stop via Barcelona/Madrid. Door-to-door is usually 6–9h and ~€120–350+ depending on bag fees and timing.
  1. De 9 Straatjes — Canal Belt — Great first stop for a relaxed morning walk and shopping between canals; morning, ~1 hour.
  2. The Pancake Bakery — Jordaan — Useful group brunch spot with big portions before the evening out; brunch, ~1 hour; approx. €15–25 pp.
  3. A’DAM Lookout — Amsterdam Noord — Strong overview stop and a fun adrenaline kick with the swing option; afternoon, ~1.5 hours.
  4. De Pijp / Albert Cuyp area — De Pijp — Lively neighborhood for pre-dinner drinks and casual people-watching; late afternoon, ~1.5 hours.
  5. Café De Klos — Leidseplein area — Famous ribs-and-beer dinner that works well for a hungry group; dinner, ~1.5 hours; approx. €20–35 pp.
  6. De School — West Amsterdam — Serious final-night club for a high-energy sendoff; late night, ~4 hours.

Morning

Land in Amsterdam with enough of the day left to actually enjoy it, not just recover in a hotel. Once you’re dropped in the center, start with a slow wander through De 9 Straatjes in the Canal Belt — this is the best first impression of the city for a group because it’s pretty, compact, and easy to split up in without anyone getting lost for long. You’ll find independent fashion shops, vinyl spots, design stores, and plenty of canal-side cafés for a coffee reset; most places open around 10:00, and the whole area works best before noon when it’s still calm. Keep it loose and walk the bridges, because that’s really the point here. A short stroll through the canals gives everyone time to decompress after travel and get into Amsterdam mode.

Brunch

From there, head over to The Pancake Bakery in Jordaan for a big, group-friendly brunch. It’s one of those Amsterdam institutions that actually delivers for a hungry crew: huge Dutch pancakes, savory options, sweet options, and portions that are much better than they sound. Expect roughly €15–25 per person depending on drinks and extras, and try to book ahead if you can because a 22-person table can get awkward fast without a reservation. If the full group gets split, that’s normal here — just keep the order simple and don’t overcomplicate it. After brunch, you can ease back out toward the center with no rush, since the city works best when you’re not trying to over-plan every block.

Afternoon

Later, make your way to A’DAM Lookout in Amsterdam Noord for the best skyline view in the city and a proper change of pace. It’s a good afternoon stop because the light is usually better and the whole experience feels more energetic after lunch; budget about 1.5 hours, and if the group is into adrenaline, the swing is worth it. It’s touristy, yes, but still fun if you’re with a big crew and want one obvious “everyone gets the photo” stop. After that, drift down to De Pijp and the Albert Cuyp area for late-afternoon drinks and people-watching — this neighborhood has a more lived-in, local buzz than the center, with plenty of terraces and casual bars where the group can spread out a bit before dinner. It’s one of the easiest areas in the city for pre-night-out energy without forcing it.

Evening

For dinner, go to Café De Klos near Leidseplein and order like you mean it. This place is famous for ribs, beer, and no-nonsense meat-heavy plates, which makes it very easy for a crew this size to leave happy and full. Plan on around €20–35 per person, and don’t expect fancy service — it’s all about the food and the momentum heading into the night. After dinner, head west to De School for the final big sendoff. This is one of Amsterdam’s serious clubs, so go late, dress smart-casual, and expect a full night rather than a quick drop-in; it usually runs deep into the morning, with door policy and lineup depending on the event. For a 22-man group, keep your behavior tight, arrive together if possible, and decide early who’s fully committing to the after-hours move so nobody gets stranded outside arguing with security.

Day 12 · Thu, May 7
Amsterdam

Departure wrap-up

  1. Vondelpark — Oud-Zuid — Easy recovery walk to start the day after a big night; morning, ~1 hour.
  2. Blushing Amsterdam — Museumplein / De Pijp edge — Good brunch and coffee stop for the final group meal; brunch, ~1 hour; approx. €15–25 pp.
  3. Rijksmuseum gardens — Museumplein — Quick last iconic Amsterdam stop without overpacking the day; late morning, ~45 minutes.
  4. Heineken Experience — De Pijp — Fun, low-effort departure-day activity that fits a party group well; afternoon, ~1.5 hours.
  5. Foodhallen — Oud-West — Easy final lunch with lots of choice for 22 people; lunch, ~1.5 hours; approx. €20–35 pp.

Morning

Keep the last day intentionally light: after a late Amsterdam night, start with an easy recovery walk through Vondelpark in Oud-Zuid. Go early, before the park gets busy with runners and cyclists, and just let the city wake up around you for about an hour. This is the kind of Amsterdam reset that works well for a big crew: wide paths, ponds, open lawns, and enough space that nobody has to coordinate too hard. If you want coffee on the move, grab it near the park edge rather than trying to sit down and over-plan the day.

Brunch and a quick iconic stop

Head over to Blushing Amsterdam on the Museumplein / De Pijp edge for the final proper group brunch. It’s a polished, easy place for a mixed-energy crew, and you’ll be best off arriving on the early side so a table for 22 stays painless. Expect roughly €15–25 per person, and keep it moving if you need to make your next stop on time. After that, walk straight to the Rijksmuseum gardens for a short, classic Amsterdam photo stop without turning the day into a museum marathon. The gardens are free, open all day, and work perfectly as a quick 45-minute pause between meals and the departure afternoon.

Afternoon

For a low-effort final activity that still feels properly Amsterdam, continue to the Heineken Experience in De Pijp. It’s an easy group fit, especially on a departure day: timed-entry, social, interactive, and built for people who’d rather have a fun sendoff than a slow cultural afternoon. Plan on about 1.5 hours and budget around €24–30 depending on tickets and booking time. From there, head west to Foodhallen in Oud-West for the last lunch together — it’s one of the easiest places in the city to feed a large group because everyone can choose their own thing without splitting the vibe. Give yourselves around 1.5 hours, expect roughly €20–35 per person, and don’t stress about being perfectly seated together; in practice, the free-flow setup works better for a crew this size anyway.
