1. Sonus Festival - Croatia

Imagine partying on Croatian beaches at three open air clubs with some of the best techno and house music the world has on offer. The clubs pump all day and night and boat parties cruise the harbour. Beaches, boats, babes and the bass line thumping for five days and five nights sounds pretty damn good to me.
