Holiday recommendations!

Where would you suggest as a destination for a girl about to start a 'real' job in August? Currently temping, but will be donating my body to medical science in a few weeks for some ££ in the meantime! Then will be booking a last minute holiday and open to suggestions!

Personally I want to go to Ibiza as I am 25 and am borderline too old to be going there, so wanna make it before I am a laughing stock!! I am open to other places though, as I am not a chav/raver and I would appreciate a wee bit of culture at the same time!

Also I am bored in work, and can't get on to very many holiday websites so would like you all to advise me instead please!!

See to me, Santa Ponsa just says exposed boobs & lots of annoying holiday reps! Which is probably pretty common in Ibiza too, but at least they get the good DJs! I may give up on culture I think, plenty of that when I'm older!

Sorry for posting in the wrong place!!! I apologise wholeheartedly!!

Argentina
Iguazu...beautiful...worth a few day's stay
Buenos Aires....the people are really lovely and the city is amazing
I'd recommend staying in hostels as a way of getting to know people

I usually do city breaks seperate from week in the sun sitting on the beach holidays. If you want to mix beach and city I was surprised to hear Barcelona is good.

I've been to Dubrovnik in Croatia which was a good mixture. Met loads of locals and had a great time.

The canaries are good if you go with some friends - but can be a bit boring without. It's all a bit resorty - you can find decent resturaunts (and lots of really bad steak & chips/Sky Sports joints) Nightlife can be a bit rubbish - stupid pubs where people try and get you in with free shots. Loud bad music, Covers bands etc... I've been to Gran Canaria, Lanzarotte and Fuerteaventura - LZ and FV are good - can't really reccomend GC. There's a bit to see around the islands if you rent a car or use the bus, or see if there are any trips - but ultimately you'll be left a bit culturally hungry.

Yeah I was thinking of croatia, i know it has great beaches and would prob have interesting stuff as well as night time activities! Might look into there, hopefully might not be as expensive either!
