Top 10 spring break destinations - Lake Havasu, Arizona

While Las Vegas is an all-time favorite spring break destination, Lake Havasu, some 3 hours southeast of Sin City in the Arizona desert, is also gaining major partygoer appeal, thanks to its array of after-dark action, stunning scenery, and its main attraction, the eponymous lake itself.




Nestled amid craggy mountain peaks alongside the Colorado River, and dubbed the "personal watercraft capital of the world," Lake Havasu boasts over 400 miles of coastline and water sports galore — think fishing, skiing, kayaking, and boating (lots of boat and Jet Ski rentals are also available for those of you without your own vessels). Havasu's on-land activities span from beach-bumming, off-roading desert treks, and golfing, to horseback riding, hot-air ballooning, rock climbing, and biking.

There’s plenty of nighttime action to keep spring breakers playing long after dark, too: Several clubs and bars boast killer views of the Colorado River and some even offer outdoor parties on the river itself.

Top 10 spring break destinations - Koh Phangan, Thailand

Originally developed as an alternative to popular Koh Samui and Phuket, the lush, beach-trimmed island of Koh Phangan, in the Gulf of Thailand, has since gained its own spring break destination notoriety thanks to its monthly all-night beach parties, held on the Haad Rin peninsula in honor of the full moon.




Indeed, the Full Moon Parties have become legendary, attracting as many as 10,000 moon-worshippers and party-goers to the two sandy stretches that frame the cape, to dance to trance and techno barefoot on the sand, glow-sticks in hand.




Even if your travel dates don't coincide with the party, you can still create your own bit of hippie nirvana on this bit of sand by spending your days at New Age cafés, drinking cheap beer, and having inexpensive massages. Come nightfall, crash on the beach or in a $5 bungalow – that is, if you come down at all.
