DJ Mag Top100 Clubs

Papaya
5

Those prone to a bit of brave rave exploration outside their clubbing comfort zone will have already sampled a slice of Eastern Europe's club culture.

Slowly becoming a lucrative rental space for British promoters and a regular walking ground for tourists and Croatian holidaymakers alike, Pag's Papaya has climbed another few spots in this poll again this year.

The music policy's pretty sturdy too, boasting anything from house to techno to progressive, even r&b and dubstep. Armin van Buuren, Axwell, Loco Dice, Ricardo Villalobos, Marco Carola and Hardwell are some of the biggest hitters who've all made waves on Papaya's shit-hot Martin Audio soundsystem; it's also the choice spot for our very own DJ Mag festival, tag teamed with MTV. Adrenaline junkie? You're in good company.

There's even the option to strap yourself to a crane, and you can launch yourself into a bungee freefall, mid-rave. No joke.
