While state cap­i­tal, Flo­ri­a­nop­o­lis is well known amongst tourists for its nightlife; just 80km north, Bal­neário Cam­boriú is known as Brazil’s elec­tron­ic music cap­i­tal (and a prac­ti­cal­ly unknown beach among for­eign­ers!).

Sin­gle Man Tip: As the e‑music cap­i­tal, Bal­neário Cam­boriú also boasts of the two best night clubs in Brazil. In sum­mer, this attracts plen­ty of hot Brazil­ian women from around the coun­try but since it’s so close to the bor­der, the town is also a pop­u­lar par­ty spot amongst Argen­tineans.

Mon­tene­gro is no longer a no-go zone and Bud­va should be your num­ber one rea­son to vis­it.

Did you know? Sylvester Stal­lone, Sophia Loren and plen­ty of oth­er Hol­ly­wood super­stars used to spend their sum­mers at Bud­va before the war. Now that it’s safe again, it’s your turn!

Mogren is Budva’s most famous beach and is nes­tled between mas­sive cliffs. With its moun­tain-meets-the-sea coast­line, Bud­va is spe­cial.
