    20,000 euro!

    Honestly, what a question......it's like asking how long is a piece of string.

    Add up how much you are going to spend on food, drinks, activities, add a little bit more for emergencies and you should be right.

    No one can know the answer to this question. What type of lifestyle do you enjoy? Do you like 5 star dining...... do you sit on the beach all day or do you want to go out on day activities. Think what you like to do on hols and then budget accordingly.

    Hey no need for personal abuse. I answered the question you asked in your OP.

    The above question is a completely different question to your original one. Doh!

    1500!? That's a bit much imo. It's Santa Ponsa not Porta Banus, so beer and food shouldn't add up to more than €100 a day. I'm going for a week in Sept on a lads holiday and plan to spend no more than €80 a day. Flights and accom cost 350 so total cost is approx €900

    a lads holiday to santa ponsa 80 per day!? your mad, i went on a lads holiday there this time last year..
    daniels corner - get the 10 cocktails for 10e offer
    dicey rielys - beer cost 4 euro and a half is around the same
    shamrock - beer 4e and a half is around the same
    Greenhills - all drinks are aorund the fiver mark
    snoopys - same as green hills

    lets same you have a carry out before going out..
    15e, have 4 beers 16e, 3 halfs 15e and meet a lovely lady and buy you and her 2 drinks 20e..so excluding food, day trips, bottles of water during day, water park, pedalo's and the odd burger and silly cowboy hat and t shirt is 66e and they are V V V light drinking amounts, if you go to pub during day thats another 25, budget at 150e per day to cover everything so around the 1000e mark

    1/4 ;)

    I was in Ios for 2 weeks in July and i managed on 1000 so i think ill manage on 80 a day. Some people were even managing on 30e a day.

    The drink does sound expensive though, ios had 1e shots everywhere, i was hoping Santa Ponza was cheap. I doubt i'll be buying anything other than food and drink and and maybe a couple of taxis to Magaluf but i reckon i'll get by. Maybe 100 a day to be safe.

    Been a while since I was on a lads holiday but from my memories everyone took at least €100 a day. It would be the safest bet. Try not go bananas on the 1st few nights or stagger your mad nights!

    If you can bring more then great but €100 seems to be the magic number. You should be able to go for a decent meal & get plenty of drink.

    Don't forget, the alcohol in the local shop or supermarket will be very cheap. If you're in an apartment you can stock up & have your fill for an hour or two while everyone is getting ready.

    You'll be well on before heading out :D

  • 1000 e spending money for a week? I must be living in a different world to everyone else, because I'd find it hard to spend a third of that. I took about 300 euro to Fuerteventura and it was plenty - ate out almost every night, had cooked brekkie every day, cocktails on the beach, drinks at night. I don't see what could possibly cost 100e a day unless you're going for activities (scuba/snorkelling/paragliding) and day trips?
