So, after successfully getting a chit from the strife I am away for 7 days with a friend.

He hasn't been abroad for over 10 years and I have not been away without strife for just a long, so we're both struggling for destinations. Criterion is as follows;

Beach.
More mature/adult crowd.
Chilled and sedate with a hint of clubbing. (We do not want endless hordes of teenage drunks and thumps.)

Does' such a utopia exist?

We’re definitely looking for somewhere in Europe (one of the Greek or Spanish isles perhaps?) and the aim is for end of July.

Ideas, oh so appreciated.

Cheers, Paul.
 
Eastbourne :D

Beach - deffo
More mature/adult crowd - really deffo
Chilled and sedate with a hint of clubbing. (We do not want endless hordes of teenage drunks and thumps.) - deffo (Rotary Club, Darby & Joan Club)

Does' such a utopia exist? Eastbourne ;)
 
Tel Aviv.

Mediterranean beach life - Check
Great nightclubs - Check
Great stuff to do - Check
Great things to see - Check
Fit birds to, err, look at - Check
No drunken idiotic football shirt oiks - Check
Heat and Sun - Check
5 x Hour flight
Feels like Europe - Check

Without question one of the worlds modern party capitals not least for someone in there 40's. Don't be put off by all the noise about bombs and death and arab wars as frankly it's not like that when you get there, certainly not in Tel Aviv and even if you are not religious, which I'm not, it will take your breath away with its power as country when you go to Jerusalem, Masada and other such sites.
 
Turkish West Coast.
Locations: Olu Deniz, Didem, Bodrum, Marmaris, Kusadasi, Fethiye.

Turkish South coast.
Locations; Antalya, Alanya

Full beach experience, various day trips by boat. Historical places dotted around within easy reach of these places.
 
Es Cana in Ibiza.

Not in the party central (avoid San Antonio, but I actual quite like Playa D'en Bossa), mature destination, and it's Ibiza. So finding a spot of clubbing wouldn't be too hard.

I'll vote for olu deniz, great place. Not full of partying of 20 somethings but still lively enough.

My family and myself are going back there again for the 8th time in a row at the beginning of august.

We all love the place, and we are guaranteed a very nice holiday.

If you go then you must go paragliding off the mountain it's awesome....really awesome.

Prague.

Prague.

Prague.

Although no beach, it's an amazing city.
 
Barcelona. Amazing nightlife but not full of drunk teens and the city beach is pretty good.

If you wan't more of a beach resort, Menorca is the ultimate in chilled, relatively unspoilt for the Balearics and few teens go there. Nightlife is quieter though, unless you're staying in Mahon or one of the tourist resorts.
 
Looking at your want list just choose 99% of anywhere outside Spain /balearic Islands. You're pretty much guaranteed no hordes of drunk British teens bar the likes of kavos and sunny beach.
