Two friends flew to Ibiza for a 24-hour holiday - and partied all night so they didn't have to book a hotel.

Molly Stratford, 19, and her pal, Steph Tanner, 19, realised their budget was too tight to book a week-long Ibiza holiday.

Instead they decided to do a 24-hour mini-break - flying out one day and back the next.

Because they planned to go to a music event, they decided to stay out all night and not sleep - so there was no need to book a hotel or bring luggage.

Molly took a small shoulder bag with nothing but a few Euros, her passport and and a phone charger in.

They spent all night at the club then went for an early morning swim in the sea before spending the day sunbathing on the beach.

They flew home that evening - and Molly described the trip as "the best night of my whole life"."

Molly, a special educational needs teaching assistant, from Folkstone, Kent, said: "Knowing we were only there 24 hours gave us a bit more excitement for everything."

"By the time it was time for us to fly home the next day I was feeling pretty awful because we hadn't slept."

"But I don't regret going at all - we're already planning our next 24-hour trip."

They flew out on August 7, having booked the tickets for their EasyJet flights - costing £40 - two days prior.

They wore their bikinis with shorts and a t-shirt on top for the flight - then ditched their t-shirts as soon as they arrived at 11pm that evening.

They headed straight to the club, Hï Ibiza, but not before popping to the supermarket to pick up some pre-drinks to get them in the party mood.

After partying until 6am, they headed straight to the beach for an early morning swim and a walk along the beach to clear their heads.

Molly said: "We sat in a little lifeguard hut on the beach until the sun rose then we went for a swim and it was already so warm."

"We debated buying towels but we hired sunbeds that already had towels on them."

"We napped for a while then we got hungry and got a KFC and charged our phones."

"Then we went and had a look around some nice shops before heading back to the airport in a taxi."

Despite their sore heads from the previous evening, the pair loved every second - and are already planning their next trip.

Molly said: "It was the best night of my whole life."

"We're planning to go back to Ibiza again to see Calvin Harris in late September."
