Where to go inexpensively? TOP 5 best destinations

We arrived at the rice plantations in Bali

Where to fly to the sea inexpensively in February is a pressing question for many travelers. You can save on a trip either by waiting for a last-minute offer, or by choosing an initially budget place for your vacation abroad.

We analyzed prices for tours and the cost of staying in different countries, noted reviews and advice from tourists and compiled the top 5 best resorts.

  • Thailand is a typically “Russian” winter destination. Firstly, it is the most mastered and adapted to Russian citizens. Secondly, without a visa. And thirdly, offering the best beach holiday in February in terms of conditions/price ratio. Even in high season, the bill for food and excursions is an order of magnitude lower than in other countries.
  • North Goa is the most inexpensive resort. Young people at the seaside flock here in February - for parties and an informal environment, nature full of palm trees and sand, and very cheap housing. You can check out
  • Bali is a pleasantly economical place to live. After our winter in 2018, we compiled earlier. In addition, the period of our winter on the island is considered a low season, and air tickets, which traditionally “eat up” a decent portion of the money, come out to a smaller amount.
  • The Emirates are distinguished by affordable package holidays. Although the resort is included in the list of countries where it is warm in February, you will have to admire the sea exclusively from the shore, and swim in the heated pool at the hotel. This determines the low price tag for vouchers.
  • Vietnam is ideal for a 10-day vacation. For example, you can celebrate February 23 inexpensively in Nha Trang, Phan Thiet and Phu Quoc - the tour, food, and transport will cost you on a budget.

Thailand

Photos from our trip to Phuket Island, Thailand (south side)

Thailand has white sand beaches, spreading palm trees, blooming exotics and a rich excursion program. Honeymoon It will turn out unsurpassed if you take a tour for two to Phuket in February, closer to the middle. On the 14th - European Valentine's Day - Thais organize unusual wedding ceremonies.

A serene beach kingdom can be organized on the islands of Koh Samui, Phangan, Phi Phi, which are greeted with lush greenery. During the season, you will not only be able to taste exotic fruits that ripen by the end of winter, but also fully enjoy the calm turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea and the hot sun.

Vietnam

Where to go in early February? Vietnam, for example, offers to spend frosty days on its fine sandy coast. If you are looking for the best place to sunbathe and swim, definitely go to the south of the country: tours to Nha Trang, Phan Thiet and Phu Quoc are ideal for these purposes. The reviews left by tourists who visited Vietnam in February are unanimous: this time is great for traveling.

The month is a dry season, so the weather is good. Rain is unlikely, and if it does, it won't last long. The sea in winter is most often calm, warming up to +26°С…+28°С.

Prices for trips at the end of the month are among the highest, but there is always the opportunity to find a last minute tour. If you are planning a trip on your own, book your flight tickets in advance. We usually buy them six months in advance, but in the case of Vietnam we remind you that it is better to give preference to a tour, because its cost may be equal to the flight. It’s better to buy online; before doing so, you can check out the country.

Holidays in Vietnam in last years is gaining more and more popularity among Russians - now you can get to Phu Quoc Island by direct flight. In a separate article we compared which is better - Vietnam or Thailand?

  • A trip to Vietnam in February will cost from 75,000 rubles with accommodation in a 3* hotel for two for 10 nights

Goa

India, Gokarna

A vacation on the warm sea in February can also be organized in Goa. Moreover, it is very affordable - India is one of the cheapest countries in Asia, although not the most developed.

Inexpensive vacations are more common in the northern part of the state. North Goa attracts mainly young and playful people, because... You can live here for mere pennies, especially in terms of hotels, and have fun to the fullest.

South Goa is somewhat “retirement”. The hotels here are of a higher class, and so is the service, but life outside their walls is completely absent. Visitors have at their disposal a beautiful sea, cozy beaches and silence. Prices for trips to the southern resort are always slightly higher than to the northern one.

  • Tours from Moscow to Goa in February 2020 for two people cost from 60,000 rubles for 9 nights. Visa - $25 per person

Bali

Without a visa, you can have an inexpensive winter holiday in Bali. In February, prices drop: the high season is over, and the flow of yogi-vegan-hipster tourists subsides.

Of course, most people fly to the island on their own. They are rare, but they are still sold in sufficient quantities. Instructions on how to save as much as possible on a flight: 1) choose off-season dates (for which February is ideal) and indirect flights (for example, with a connection in Thailand or Kuala Lumpur).

The last month of winter is suitable for those who do not like extreme heat. The elements are changeable: it rains, and quite often. The day usually starts with bright sunshine and continues with rain in the afternoon. But the sunsets are excellent every time, regardless of weather conditions. You really won't see anything like this anywhere else!

UAE

Beach in Ras al Khaimah (we swam there even in early February)

Where else can you fly to the seaside in February without a visa? The abolition of the document for entry into the Emirates in 2017 has greatly simplified travel for Russians. Now it’s convenient to catch last-minute tours - without visa hassles.

The weather in the UAE in February will appeal to those who avoid scorching rays and stuffiness - +24°C is comfortable for excursions and walks around the city, and the country is rich in attractions. However, the conditions will not please those who are eager to take the plunge. The temperature of the water in the sea is not sufficient for swimming, but heating in the hotel pools saves the day.

Tours to the UAE in February 2020 are recommended for shopping lovers: this month is the sales season, and the closer to its end, the greater the discounts become. So, if you want not only to sunbathe, but also to buy well, postpone your search for a tour until the last days of winter.

  • Tours in February will be inexpensive to Dubai, Sharjah and Ras al-Khaimah - only from 45,000 rubles for two for 7 days

We made a separate article-selection depending on the season.

For many, winter vacation means skiing, sightseeing and drinking tea with friends. But often, when it’s cold and snowy outside, you want to go where it’s always warm and sunny. Today they are available to many residents of Russia all year round.

A holiday in Thailand in February is what a Russian, tired of the cold, dreams of. The air temperature stays within 26 degrees during the daytime and does not drop below 20 at night. The most comfortable holiday awaits tourists in the southeast of the country and the adjacent islands (Chang, Pattaya), as well as on the west coast - Phuket, Krabi, Lanta. In other areas, the air is not yet so warm, and the sea is not too calm. Thailand is a place where tourists' holidays are thought out to the smallest detail. Guests of the country can comfortably stay in any of the many hotels, enjoy the cleanliness of the beaches and sea, and see unprecedented flora and fauna.

There are also noteworthy attractions in the country: a floating market with a variety of oriental goods; the largest and oldest monastery, Wat Pho; A royal palace surrounded by temples, and much more. The main advantage of a holiday in this country in February is the celebration of the Chinese New Year. At this time, Thailand is immersed in an atmosphere of joy and goodness. Another celebration that you can attend at the beginning of the month is the Flower Festival. It takes place in Chiang Mai on the seashore.

Tourists can get not only a good mood and beautiful pictures, but also a lot of souvenirs. Locals love to make them with their own hands from natural resources, so they are endowed with a special warmth. You can buy them on almost every street at an affordable price.

The only drawback of traveling to Thailand in February is the relative high cost and the influx of tourists. A vacation for two without the All Inclusive service will cost at least 75,000 rubles. Entertainment in the country is also not cheap, so you need to take this into account when planning your leisure time.

The United Arab Emirates is another place that enjoys pleasant and warm winters. Today, tourists can go to Sharjah or Abu Dhabi, where tourism infrastructure has been gaining momentum and developing for many years. The capital of the Emirates welcomes its guests with the stunning beauty of perfectly straight streets - buildings with interesting architecture, green spaces and many fountains, although the situation with water in the region remains tense. The main advantage of Abu Dhabi is its hotels. By checking into one of the rooms, you can be sure of the quality of services provided and interesting leisure time. Sports and cultural and entertainment venues, restaurants and galleries, shops and dive centers - all of this is available on the hotel premises.

Those who want to spend more time walking rather than partying in the evenings should visit Sharjah. This is a city that is completely immersed in greenery. Parks and squares, beautiful views of the sea, exotic animals - all this awaits tourists in the town that is still growing along the coast.

The only downside to holidaying in the Emirates in February is the cool sea, although the air temperature remains at a comfortable 26 degrees. At night, you should think about warm clothes. A pleasant compensation for the inability to swim in the sea is the cost of tours, mainly last-minute tours from 22,000 rubles per person on an all-inclusive basis.

Many people come to the UAE not only for a beautiful tan, but also for shopping. In February, the emirates host a Shopping Festival, after which many interesting things remain in stores at very attractive prices. (Al Fahidi, Bollywood Parks, etc.) is the main goal of many tourists. Although, in addition to them, the Emirates has a lot of interesting places worthy of the attention of guests of the country.

The Maldives is a place where the average daily air temperature in February does not fall below 25 degrees. The sea is also warm – about +24°C. Therefore, a holiday in the Maldives this winter month will be unforgettable. Tourists have at their disposal many atoll resorts, where their own special life reigns. Only the cleanliness of the beaches and sea, the beauty of exotic nature, and the feeling of solitude and peace remain unchanged.

Shaviani Atoll is suitable for those tourists who want to spend their time fun and enjoyable. Here you can enjoy all the benefits of civilization, purchase many interesting things and go on excursions, looking at the sights of the islands.

Ari Atoll is amazing with the service of its hotels. There are quite a lot of them, so each of them strives to win fame among tourists, using all sorts of tricks (some offer a bicycle along with their number, others a boat, others a private beach).

Important: Don't try to find alcohol in stores. This is extremely strict on the islands. And for trying to break off a piece of coral as a keepsake, there is a heavy fine.

Unsurpassed nature, amazing cuisine, best service and lack of crime are worthy of the price quoted by tour operators. A one-week visit to the Maldives in February for 2 people on an all-inclusive basis will cost 210,000 rubles(according to the most conservative estimates).

In February, you can relax on the shores of the Indian Ocean in the beautiful state of Goa, where even the water temperature does not drop below 26 degrees. The calm sea, gentle sun and cloudless sky complement the high service of local hotels. Tourists coming from all over the world are offered comfortable rooms, spa treatments and the best dishes of national cuisine.

In addition, everyone can get acquainted with the wonders and possibilities of local medicine and plunge into Indian religion. Guests can visit many attractions: Dudhsagar Falls, where you can meet a real bison; the Fontaines quarter with its majestic temples; Portuguese fort of Aguada; flea market in Anjuna, where you can buy all sorts of souvenirs and many useful things; spice plantations, etc.

Important: Children won't be bored in Goa either. Many entertainment facilities and more interesting places have been created for them, such as the butterfly park.

A holiday in this Indian state can only bring positive emotions. And the cost of trips in February will pleasantly surprise you. The "All inclusive" system for 2 persons will cost an average of 80,000 rubles. You can also buy a last minute tour, which will cost 17-20% cheaper. If your plans include visiting local stores, then you should stock up on funds, since the variety of unique products will not leave anyone indifferent.

February in Bali is a month full of surprises. Even weather forecasters cannot predict weather conditions, so it is worth taking note of the fact that at the end of winter wet weather prevails on the island, and rain is the rule rather than the exception. But the air temperature remains at very comfortable levels – no lower than 29 degrees. The sea water is also quite warm - 28 degrees. Therefore, the beaches do not suffer from a shortage of tourists who catch the beautiful hours of sunshine in between rains.

During times not suitable for beach tanning, you can enjoy the sights of Bali, visit thermal springs, watch numerous festive events and taste national cuisine. Don't forget about the exotic atmosphere of this place. Guests are offered: Elephant Park; Reptile Park; climbing to the top of the Batur volcano; inspection of rice fields. If the weather is completely unsuitable for walking, do not despair. Numerous boutiques and small shops, beauty salons and establishments with local cuisine, spa centers and disco bars - all this will not allow even the most active tourists to get bored.

Despite the fact that February is considered a stalemate in terms of the influx of tourists to Bali, the cost of the trip is very impressive. “All inclusive” for two for 7-12 days will cost at least 120,000 rubles. But this amount is quite justified for those who want to escape the February cold and get a lot of positive emotions.

Cuba is a place where the weather is also characterized by its changeability. But, fortunately for tourists, sharp drops in temperature from the usual 30 degrees to 20 are short-lived. Therefore, guests of the island can count on a completely comfortable stay. Clean beaches with snow-white sand in the form of powdered sugar, equipped with everything necessary, exotic vegetation framing them, comfortable hotels and very friendly locals allow you to get the most good impressions.

For a beach holiday in February, places such as Varadero, Trinidad and Havana are suitable. Here the weather is more stable, although at night it can be slightly chilly. But this does not overshadow the guests of Cuba, since, in addition to the sea and sand, they are provided with a lot of bonuses in the form of unsurpassed rum, real Cuban cigars and endless carnivals.

Those who want to relax not only their body, but also their soul, should get acquainted with the local culture and go sightseeing, of which there are a great many in Cuba. White-stone Havana, Santa Clara (the birthplace of Che Guevara), the Trinidat open-air museum - all this is just a small part of what is worth seeing on the island, not counting the countless parks and reserves.

The only not so pleasant moment for those who decide to spend their winter holidays in Cuba will be the cost of the trip. Without the All Inclusive service, the price for accommodation and flights is within 170,000 rubles for two people.

You can experience real summer and enjoy the gentle and calm sea in February by going to Mexico. The air temperature in the country reaches 30 degrees, the water warms up to 27. The most favorable conditions for a beach holiday are in Acapulco, Pueblo, Huatulco, Riviera Maya and Cancun. There are no sudden temperature changes here, and rain is extremely rare, so umbrellas can be safely left in the room.

In February, Mexico promises tourists an exciting and varied leisure time. Fans of beach treatments have the opportunity to swim and get a luxurious tan, avid divers - to see the wonders of the underwater world, curious travelers - to explore the pyramids and ancient temples.

The country's hotels and beaches are equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay; temporary “residents” of Mexico can visit a lot of local shops and boutiques, various exhibitions and museums, and relax in spas. Don't forget about traditional cuisine - chimichangas, burritos, enchiladas, tortillas and much more.

The celebrations that take place in the country at the end of winter are another factor in favor of choosing this destination for most tourists. The noisy Mexican carnival will captivate you into an atmosphere of celebration and fun - mariachi performances, costumed processions, grand parades, historical performances and gorgeous fireworks.

"All inclusive" will cost our citizens 190,000 rubles for two. And this is the only unpleasant moment. Although the cost of the trip is fully justified by the level of service, the beauty of the area and the availability of entertainment.

Warm summer weather awaits tourists in China in a place called Hainan. There you will be able to enjoy the beautiful gentle sea, lie under the rays of the gentle sun and see all the beauty of nature. But don't forget about temperature changes. During the daytime, you can safely wear shorts and T-shirts, but in the evenings it gets cool, so a warm jacket and pants will not be superfluous.

The country's tourism resources can also be called limitless, since it is impossible to even list all the attractions and interesting places to see. The most popular of them are: Forbidden City, Great Wall of China, Temple of Heaven, Terracotta Army, etc. Entertainment is also varied - all kinds of attractions, parks with exotic animals and plants, water parks and shops with national items and things.

Another important aspect of a holiday in China at the end of winter is the opportunity to attend the Chinese New Year or a whole “chain” of carnivals. Music and fun, streets shining with different colors and lights, noisy companies and unprecedented fireworks - all this is just a holiday for local residents and a real miracle for tourists.

If we talk about the cost of the trip, it can also pleasantly surprise you. Tours available 60,000 rubles, they only include flights and hotel accommodation for two. If the availability of breakfast and lunch is important, then the price of a trip for two increases to 100,000 rubles.

You can escape from the frosty February everyday life in the Dominican Republic, where there is water at this time Caribbean Sea it warms up to 28 degrees, and the air reaches 30. Even extremely rare rains will not be able to overshadow the tourists’ holiday, since they are short-lived. At the end of winter, the state begins to “overgrow” with people who want to enjoy the warmth, sun and a variety of entertainment. Therefore, you should not count on a secluded holiday and an abundance of free places in hotels. When planning your trip to the island, you need to purchase a tour in advance.

How can the Dominican Republic surprise its guests? Beach holidays, tennis, diving, windsurfing, water skiing, sailing and numerous excursions - all this is at the disposal of any tourist who was able to overcome the difficulties of the flight. Fans of eco-tourism can be advised to spend their vacation at the ranch. Communication with the indigenous people will help you delve deeper into the study of the growth process of cocoa and coffee, and see how household items and souvenirs are made, which can be seen in local markets.

It is recommended to go to Santo Domingo to see the monuments, ancient ruins and colonial buildings. Punta Cana will allow you to combine viewing of architectural structures and natural relics. Despite the influx of tourists, the cost of tours remains at around 130,000 rubles with All Inclusive service for two.

The slush and frosty days of Russia can easily be replaced by the sun and heat in Asia. February in Cambodia is the driest and extremely warm - the air temperature does not drop below 30 degrees. Guests of the country can swim to their heart's content in the gentle and calm sea, get an unprecedented tan and have fun. In addition to beach holidays, tourists are offered exciting fishing and extreme sports.

Arriving in Cambodia in February, you can find yourself in a series of large-scale holidays that are distinguished by their enchantment and duration. It doesn’t hurt to try the local cuisine; during celebrations, the country’s residents prepare the most delicious dishes, which they happily treat to all guests of the country.

Shopping is especially popular in Cambodia. Guests of the country are ready to buy everything that is on store shelves - for themselves and for their friends. But don’t forget that not all souvenirs and things sold in local “boutiques” are of really high quality.

To see the sights, you will have to travel around many cities. But this does not stop tourists who want to join Asian culture and better study its history. “Killing Fields”, Wat Phnom Temple, the Toul Sleng Prison Genocide Museum, the Royal Palace, Angkor Wat - this is just a small part of what can be seen in Cambodia. The cost of a week's tour is from 80,000 rubles for two.

You can move from the frosty end of winter to February with a temperature of 26 degrees by flying to the Philippines. Excellent surfing and an impeccable beach holiday under the rays of the scorching sun are what awaits all guests of the country. The tourism business in this region is not only thriving, but also continues to develop. Therefore, all temporary “residents” are offered only the best living conditions in hotels, the cleanest beaches and a lot of dizzying entertainment.

Important: the sun on the islands in February can be “scorching”, so do not forget about your safety. The use of special creams and an umbrella as shelter from scorching rays is the key to health and quality rest.

An indispensable item for all vacationers is visiting the most popular attractions. There are enough of them on the islands to list them all, but we can highlight the most popular ones - White Beach, Jose Rizal Park, Manila Ocean Park, Puerto Princesa Underground River, etc. Separately, it is worth noting that in the Philippines there are many active volcanoes. And these are exactly what tourists who come to the country want to see.

Regarding the high cost of a vacation, we can say the following: on average, flights and accommodation for two will cost 90,000 rubles, with meals the price can increase by 50%. But this money is completely justified, since you will not get so many emotions at the end of winter anywhere else.

Seychelles

Another state that can welcome tourists in February and reward them with an unforgettable beach holiday is the Seychelles. The air temperature reaches 30 degrees, the sea is also warm. But this direction is best chosen by those tourists who want to combine a beach holiday with expanding their horizons and physical activity.

The hotels in this resort town are quite expensive, but fully comply with all accepted standards. In February there are always a lot of free places, so guests of the country have the opportunity to step away from the usual hustle and bustle of crowded hotels. The beaches in the Seychelles are also fully prepared to receive their guests. Just don’t forget about possible “incursions” of rain - clouds tend to appear out of nowhere and disappear into nowhere. But this does not spoil the rest. After abundant water treatments, the greenery of the islands begins to reveal all its beauty.

The cost of a trip to a wonderful country with a warm and pleasant climate will cost at least 90,000 rubles for two. But this amount is nothing compared to the emotions that can be obtained on the islands.

Let's sum it up

Winter cold, wind and slush - all this can make anyone depressed. Therefore, sometimes in the middle of winter it’s worth escaping to warm countries, where there is only sea, sun and adventure. Fortunately, there are a great many destinations where you can safely go.

So that nothing overshadows the February holiday, it won’t hurt. After all, even unpaid traffic police fines can be a reason to postpone your vacation indefinitely.

Minuses

Many Sri Lankan beaches have large waves and strong currents- fortunately, there are always rescuers nearby.

Goa

The nature holidays Goa divided into Southern and Northern.

The north is favored by free travelers and cheerful young people; there are beaches of volcanic sand surrounded by lagoons. In this contrast is all the exotic India that everyone should explore for themselves.

Dominican Republic

European tourists, represented by the team of Christopher Columbus, discovered the Dominican Republic back in the 15th century. 500 years have not been in vain: today the main asset of the Dominican Republic - unreal postcard beaches - have acquired decent infrastructure and hotels nearby. And pale vacationers, warming up under the Caribbean sun, are surprised to discover that the Dominican Republic has not only beaches, but also mountains, coniferous forests, dunes, canyons, and caves, and even whales swim to the snow-white coast.

pros

The climate in the Dominican Republic is truly heavenly - the heat is not exhausting, the ocean is warm not only in February, but throughout the winter. The locals are as sunny as their country - positive and generous to human weaknesses. In addition to a beautiful picture, the Dominican Republic also has a history that is interestingly presented on excursions - you will also find them in abundance.

Minuses

The flight to the Dominican Republic is long and expensive, and life itself in the country is not cheap. The local nature, in addition to its obvious beauty, is fraught with dangers: poisonous jellyfish and hedgehogs live in the Caribbean Sea, and dangerous insects live on the paradise shore. Theft is common in cities, so control over things must be vigilant.

Comparison of Dominican Republic resorts

Visa regime.

Russians do not need a visa to the Dominican Republic. Upon arrival in the country, you will need to fill out a tourist card, which costs $10 and is presented to the border guard along with your passport and return tickets.

Traveling to the Dominican Republic in February, you will find the height of the most fantastic of local holidays - the carnival, which takes place from late January to mid-March. In addition to the colorful processions that take place in all cities, it is definitely worth admiring the capital’s architecture, seeing the underwater world of the Caribbean Sea, learning about the customs of the aborigines, climbing the highest Mount Duarte - and understanding that the Dominican Republic is beautiful not only in appearance.

Vietnam

Vietnam is just beginning to gain popularity among tourists, but they have already appreciated the loyalty of local prices, delicious cuisine, high-quality hotel facilities, and most importantly, the warm sea. In January and February it is warm in Vietnam, and this is the best time for Western tourists: a dry velvet season, when the sun is not yet burning, and you can either lie on the beach or go for cultural experiences - study ancient temple complexes and ride elephants.

pros

Vietnam - inexpensive country for a tourist and a dream for a shopaholic. There are many different excursions, delicious cuisine, recreation for every taste - from extreme to family, and even opportunities for healing - thermal springs and mud. We don't even talk about the beauty of nature.

Minuses

Even those who have never been on them have heard about Vietnamese roads. There seem to be no rules there, and chaos gives way to hours-long traffic jams. Locals see tourists as cash cows and rarely speak English, and signs in English are also very difficult to find. Beaches within cities are usually littered - but this does not apply to hotel beaches. Tourists complain about jellyfish and insects - but local stores at least sell a lot of repellents against the latter.

If you go to Vietnam at the very beginning of February, you will find preparations for the New Year, when houses are decorated with branches of blossoming apricots and tangerine trees. The holiday itself is celebrated for four days and is accompanied by festivals, concerts, performances on the water and cockfights. Such moments very well describe the soul of Vietnam - a modern country that preserves traditions.

Tourists praise the low prices (especially on the mainland), local service and friendliness of the Thais, which cannot be taught, and, of course, the famous Thai massage.

Minuses

Be prepared for the fact that your ideas about cleanliness will differ from Thai ones - it’s worth getting used to on the streets, but in the case of water, it’s better not to take risks and drink only bottled.

The long flight and high humidity in Thailand itself are also unsettling - however, this is not a minus for everyone, and you can get used to it.

Another important plus is that in Cyprus there are no dangers in the form of poisonous flora and unpredictable fauna.

Minuses

For a Russian tourist, Cyprus is a bit expensive - food, entertainment, and medicine are not cheap here(so it’s not worth saving on insurance). Tourists are also disappointed by the ban on photographing many attractions - even museums.

Weather in February

Winter in Cyprus could pass for a fine European spring. In February, everything is still green and everything is already blooming, the air is warmed up to +15...+16°C, the water is about the same degree. Rains do occur, but rarely and not for long. Even if gentle flamingos fly here to spend the winter, you will definitely be comfortable!

Visa regime.

To visit Cyprus you need a visa, but if you have a valid Schengen visa that has already been opened somewhere, you can enter using it. And such a vacation will not even be counted as a stay in the Schengen zone.
