Winter holidays
Holidays in winter, as well as in any other season, are wonderful. The New Year can be celebrated outside our country, because after its arrival, almost everyone has the opportunity to rest for 10 days. This means that in addition to the annual vacation, there is a chance to rest again. Where to go? Of course, vacationing during the January holidays is not cheap, and this is caused by huge demand for absolutely all destinations.
Advice! If you are planning a winter vacation, then it is best to choose the first half of December and the second half of January. Tourist operators understand that the peak in demand will be directly during the January holidays, and in order to sell out tours before and after the peak, they make very tempting offers with attractive prices.
Ski resorts
Fans of skiing, snowboarding and various winter activities have plenty to enjoy. I'll start with visa countries.
Europe is waiting for all experienced skiers and snowboarders, as well as those who want to learn to ski and snowboard, or simply those who want to enjoy the mountain air and not change the season.
Austria. Speaking about the country as a ski resort, one cannot fail to note its popularity and the names of the resorts, which many people find difficult to pronounce. The most popular ski resorts in Austria are Kitzbühel, Ischgl, Seefeld, Schladmig, St. Anton, Zell am See and others. The resorts amaze with the number of slopes, lifts, and entertainment for every taste. A beginner or an experienced skier will feel equally at home in the ski resorts of Austria. The season lasts from the beginning of December and sometimes until April, it all depends on the weather.
France. Also one of the favorite places of tourists all over the world. And all because French resorts offer the very best. Just the name “Courchevel” makes your heart beat faster. There are other equally popular places: Val Thorens, Meribel, Chamonix, Les Houches, Les Arcs and many others. Ski resorts in France offer not only high-quality slopes, but also the best entertainment. Here you can meet movie stars, millionaires, billionaires and representatives of royal blood. The season lasts from mid-December to the end of March.
Switzerland. This country has more than just reliable banks, good watches and delicious chocolate. The country is also famous for its ski resorts, such as Grindelwald, St. Moritz, Saas-Fee, Gstaad, Champery and others. Switzerland = quality, and ski resorts are no exception. The season begins at the end of November and sometimes lasts until mid-April.
Italy. Overall, this is a wonderful country for any type of holiday. Resorts: Val di Fassa, Val Gardena, La Thuile, Kronplatz, Bormio, and that's not all. The season begins in the second half of November and sometimes lasts until the beginning of May.
Spain. It is associated primarily with Gaudi, but the ski resorts are also quite good. Sierra Nevada is the most popular among tourists. Astun, Candaci, Boi Tual, Masella and many other resorts attract many tourists every year. The season lasts from early December to March.
Andorra. A small state that is known throughout the world for its ski resorts at reasonable prices. The season here lasts from December to April.
Germany. From mid-December to March, the Bavarian Alps with their resorts welcome all ski and snowboard lovers at the resorts of Oberstdorf, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, and Berchtesgaden.
Slovenia. A country where infrastructure and service are at a high level, and prices are affordable. The mountains here are not as high as in other alpine countries. Ski resorts - Bohinj, Maribor Pohorje and others - are open for skiing from December to April.
Bulgaria. Ski resorts such as Bansko and Borovets are popular among ski lovers. These are some of the most accessible ski resorts. The lift, equipment, accommodation and recreation will cost less than in the above countries.
Russia. Sochi, after hosting the Olympic Games in 2014, has become a very popular ski resort. The flow of tourists from all over the world has increased significantly. This is natural, because many tourists want to ride on the slopes on which world champions and Olympic winners rode. The service at Rosa Khutor is impressive, and no lower than in Europe. The choice of accommodation facilities is quite large. And those who simply want to feel the atmosphere of the Olympics will be interested in visiting this resort. Rosa Khutor is a year-round resort, but it is better to ski or snowboard from December to March.

Warm countries
In winter, you can not only ski, but also bask in the sun and enjoy the sea or ocean.
Thailand— a fairly large flow of tourists tends to visit this country in winter. The best season is considered to be from November to April, and May to October is considered the “rainy season.” This does not mean that it will rain from morning to evening. During the off-season it is quite hot and humid, so do not forget that the choice of month to visit depends on the region of the country. In general, the best time to vacation in Thailand is during the winter season.
Vietnam- also a popular destination. The best time to visit the popular resorts of Vietnam (southern Vietnam) is from May to November. From December to April the so-called “wet season” begins. I would not recommend visiting the country in August.
UAE (United Arab Emirates)- The best time to visit the country is from the end of October to the first half or beginning of May. From June to October the country experiences temperatures above 40 degrees and humidity reaching 96%. The resorts of Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Jumeirah, Fujairah are waiting for all interested tourists.
Sri Lanka, Maldives, Seychelles in winter, they will delight travelers from all over the world with a mild, warm climate and the Indian Ocean. But it’s better to avoid Mauritius, since in January the period of cyclones, although not of destructive force, is better not to risk it.
Malaysia, India, Bali— exotic countries with a wonderful climate, an abundance of fruits and inexpensive housing attract more and more tourists every year. If you're looking to warm up in the depths of winter, you can't go wrong with these countries.
Dominican, Cuba, Mexico, Jamaica and other Caribbean countries- these are palm trees, the ocean and endless snow-white beaches. Just a paradise for a relaxing hotel holiday. Although the excursion program is also very diverse. The best time to visit these countries is from January to May. In the fall, some hotels close. From June to November is the “off season” or “hurricane season,” but this does not mean that it rains for days and roofs of houses fly: most often it is a strong wind with heavy rains. The absence of a visa regime is also a big advantage of the Caribbean countries.
Egypt- a country beloved by many after the sad incident on October 31, 2015, is currently closed to citizens of the Russian Federation. It is not known when flights will resume. This does not stop Red Sea lovers. You can fly to Egypt through a third country.
Of course, these are not all countries where it is comfortable to vacation in winter. These are just some of the popular destinations for Russian tourists.
Summer rest
Almost everyone loves summer, because it is the time of light dresses and picnics and, of course, vacation time.

And in the west of Belarus you can visit the castles of Mir and Nesvizh, believe me, it’s worth seeing.

But if you want a more European vacation, then you can relax on the Aegean coast of Turkey: Bodrum, Marmaris, Izmir attract with their unusual atmosphere - the feeling that you are in Greece rather than in Turkey. By the way, from the Aegean coast, if you have a Schengen visa, you can go to the nearby Greek islands.
Oludeniz Bay is a beautiful place. Sea and mountains, privacy - what could be better? Paragliding enthusiasts love this bay. Excursion Türkiye is also beautiful: Istanbul and Kapadadoki are the most popular excursion destinations. The beach season on the Aegean coast lasts from June to September, but the Antalya coast pleases tourists with warm weather a little longer. Sometimes the season begins at the end of April and lasts until mid-October.

Summer is a time for vacations and school holidays. Many people want to spend their holidays at a seaside resort. Nowadays there is a huge selection of tourist destinations at your disposal, but deciding where to go for a swim is often still difficult. When it will be opening of the beach season in different countries? In this article we will look at the most popular seaside resorts in the world. You will find out when southern countries have the most pleasant weather and warmest water, and you will also be able to evaluate beach season in the photo.
Basically we getting ready for the beach season in summer. Russian resorts remain popular among tourists. Now on the Black Sea coast you can get a level of service comparable to foreign resorts, and prices for tickets and accommodation are relatively low. During the beach season, at Russian resorts you can get everything you need for a good holiday: calm warm sea, comfortable air temperature and interesting excursion routes.
The most popular places for beach holidays in Russia are Sochi, Crimea, Gelendzhik, Lazarevskoye and nearby small villages. Beach season in Sochi and other cities opens in mid-June and continues until mid-October. Peak tourist activity occurs in August-September. It is at this time that the water is warmest - sometimes the temperature can reach 27°C.
If cooler water suits you, you can choose the end of June and July for a holiday on the Black Sea coast. The water temperature at this time is from 21 to 23°C. Many people prefer not the hot sea, because it is very refreshing on a hot day. If you want higher water temperatures in June-July, you should choose a hotel with a pool.
To ensure that the beach season at Russian resorts does not disappoint, use the following tips:
- For swimming, choose apartments and hotels near bays and bays. The water there warms up much faster than in the open sea.
- In the bays the water will also be quieter - this option is ideal for families with small children.
- If you like waves, choose long beaches. However, most beaches on the Russian coast are poorly suited for swimming during waves: usually there are large or small pebbles on the shore. Walking on it is not always comfortable, and the waves near the shore knock you off your feet and make swimming dangerous. If you are going to such a beach, take special swimming slippers with you - this will make entering the sea more comfortable.
- Many people travel with children, and August remains the only month with warm water when children have not yet started school. Therefore, prices in August at Russian resorts are always significantly higher. If there are no schoolchildren in your family, and your plans do not depend on the start of the school year, try to take a vacation in September. This way you can enjoy the warm sea for less money. In addition, in September the air temperature will not be as high, which will make your stay even more comfortable.
Beach season at European resorts
European beaches are also popular among Russian tourists. It doesn’t take long to get to them, and in addition to the beaches, in Europe you can enjoy interesting excursions and profitable shopping. However, if the main purpose of your trip is to sunbathe and swim, you should come to the resorts at the height of the beach season. When does the beach season start? in Europe?
Greece
In Greece, the beach season on the islands begins in mid-April: the water temperature rises above 20°C and many people are already starting to swim. On the Greek mainland, tourists begin to gather a little later - in mid-May.
The optimal solution is to go to mainland Greece from July to September. It is at this time that the water is warmest. However, if you do not tolerate extreme heat and humidity, you may not be too comfortable during these months, as the air temperature will also be high.
The heat is most easily tolerated on the islands, thanks to the sea breeze, so for a beach holiday and swimming you should definitely choose the islands. The downside is that prices in Crete and Rhodes will be much higher than on the mainland, especially in the warmest months. In addition, the islands are unlikely to please fans of interesting excursions - there is practically nothing to see there, but on the mainland you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the history of Ancient Greece. On the islands, the excursion program will mainly be limited to natural landscapes: mountains, caves and nature reserves.
Cyprus
The climate in Cyprus is very similar to Greece. The water there warms up by April and cools down in October. Mid and late summer is the most favorable time for swimming, when the water temperature rises to 27°C. The heat in Cyprus is practically not felt due to the wind.
Beach season in Cyprus long: there are warm waters and picturesque beaches. This is an ideal place for relaxation and for a family holiday with children. However, if you're bored of lying on the beach all day, there aren't many interesting places to visit in Cyprus. Basically, this island is designed specifically for a beach holiday, so there is no point in coming there after the end of the beach season.
Spain
Formally, the swimming season in mainland Spain is summer. However, due to Mediterranean currents, the water in Spain is never very warm. In July and August you can count on 23-24°C. If you are unlucky, the water may be even colder - it all depends on the current, which is unpredictable. To get some guarantee of a warmer sea, choose beaches with coves rather than the open sea.
The advantages of traveling to Spain are as follows:
- Even if the sea turns out to be too cool for you, you can enjoy interesting excursions through atmospheric Spanish villages or large cities.
- The transport system in Spain is very well developed, and from many resort towns you can easily get to Barcelona by train - you don’t even have to buy excursions from a travel agency.
- You will certainly be impressed by Spain's historical sites, museums and shopping centers. However, hot weather in summer is still conducive to a beach holiday.
- Fans of cool water in Spain should like it. If you're unlucky with the current, most hotels have swimming pools that warm up to 28°C during the day.
Separately, among the Spanish resorts it is worth highlighting the Canary Islands. They are located quite far from the mainland and are considered an expensive resort. However, the situation with the beach season there is much better - it lasts all year round.
The Canary Islands are washed by the Atlantic Ocean. The water there is always around 25-26°C, and the air temperature is approximately the same as the water. This makes a beach holiday there very comfortable - you won’t be hot during the day, and you won’t have to leave the water for hours.
Italy
Here the beach season lasts all summer, and, if you’re lucky, sunbathing and swimming will be quite comfortable in September. Air and water temperatures will depend on the region. On the mainland the air will be hotter, and the temperature at sea will be more unpredictable.
But mainland Italy is good for traveling to historical places combined with a beach holiday. Moreover, such a trip can be quite cheap - you can find budget hotels in the popular resort of Rimini. There are good beaches and well-established tourist services. Plus, the resort's location makes it easy and affordable to visit Rome.
The Italian islands - Sicily, Sardinia and Capri - are best suited for a purely beach holiday. Hotel prices there are higher than for accommodation on the mainland, but the sea will be warmer. Sardinia and the island of Capri are not very popular among Russian tourists - these are very small islands with beautiful beaches, but there is nowhere to go outside the hotel. Sicily will be more interesting in terms of excursion programs and will be in no way inferior in the comfort of a beach holiday.
Montenegro
The swimming season in Montenegro begins at the end of May and lasts until October. The sea water in spring and autumn is quite cool - around 19-20°C. However, by mid-summer the water temperature will be more pleasant, around 24-25°C. In Montenegro it is usually windy and not too hot, so in the evening the difference in water and air temperatures is practically not felt.
Montenegro has relatively low prices. Many Russian tourists choose it for their vacation. Large all-inclusive hotels with swimming pools and spas are not very common there, but in Montenegro you can rent apartments in residential areas and feel like a local. In addition, in addition to beaches, Montenegro has many interesting and beautiful places where you can go on excursions.
Türkiye
Türkiye is a favorite destination for Russian tourists. It has everything you need for a good beach holiday - comfortable hotels, clean warm sea and sandy beaches. Türkiye is an excellent choice for a family holiday with children. In addition, the prices for trips there are very affordable.
Türkiye is washed by four seas at once - the Mediterranean, Black, Aegean and Marmara:
- The Mediterranean Sea will be the warmest and will warm up the fastest.
- The water will also be quite warm in the Aegean Sea.
- The Black and Marmara seas are considered colder, but everything will depend on the specific beach: the Black Sea water in a shallow bay will obviously be warmer than the Mediterranean water on an open beach.
Beach season in Turkey starts from mid-June and continues until the end of September. The peak of tourist activity occurs in August - the water at this time is the warmest. However, in August the air temperature can reach 40°C, and given the high humidity, this temperature is not always pleasant for vacationers.
However, airfare and hotel prices are at their highest in August. In July and September, trips are cheaper because the water is already cooler. However, most hotels in Turkey have one or more swimming pools, so the cool sea should not be a big problem.
Beach season at exotic Latin American resorts
Domestic and European shores have long been explored by our tourists. More exotic destinations are also beginning to gain popularity - Africa, Asia and Latin America. Where is the beach season? comes first? In many countries beach season is open a long time ago. If you're looking for a new place to stay, you might want to consider one of these options.
In Latin America beach season by month not scheduled - the weather here is almost always conducive to sunbathing. However, Latin America has not yet been well explored by Russian tourists. The reason for this is the long and expensive flight. However, even transatlantic flights do not stop exotic lovers: they go to Latin American countries to see the ocean, feel the local flavor and swim in crystal clear blue water.
The most popular destinations in the Caribbean are the Dominican Republic, Cuba and the Bahamas.
- The beach season in the Dominican Republic lasts all year round - the water temperature may suddenly become colder for a short time, depending on the current, but it does not depend on the season. Tourists should note that in August, September and October the weather at this resort will be a little cloudy with frequent heavy rains. If your goal is a beach holiday, then it is better to refrain from traveling at this time. Most often, Russians and Europeans come here in the winter months, when our weather is not conducive to swimming.
- Beach season in Cuba doesn't stop. However, it is recommended to visit Cuba in winter and spring: in the summer months it is very hot here and Russian tourists, unaccustomed to such temperatures, will not be too comfortable. In addition, in the summer there are strong waves on the coast and because of them it is often impossible to swim on open beaches. In winter, the Caribbean Sea is calm, and the air temperature is almost equal to the water temperature.
- In the Bahamas, the water temperature in winter reaches 24°C, and in summer it reaches 27-28°C. The air temperature here is comfortable all year round. However, summer tourists are put off by the frequent tropical storms that hit the Bahamas from May to November. Thus, the optimal time to travel to the Bahamas is winter and early spring.
Tunisia: opening of the beach season
Tunisia is a popular resort among Russian tourists. There you can enjoy good service, sunny weather and a warm, clear sea with exotic fish swimming right to the shore.
Beach season in Tunisia opens at the beginning of spring - by this time you can already sunbathe, although the water temperature will not be conducive to swimming. In spring it will be possible to swim in outdoor pools, which will warm up from the hot sun. By the end of May, the water in the sea warms up to 20-22°C, and by mid-summer you simply won’t want to leave the water. The beach season ends at the beginning of October.
It makes sense to go to Tunisia only during the beach season. Fans of an extensive excursion program will have practically nothing to see there. But this is a good and inexpensive resort for a beach holiday. All-inclusive hotels with entertainment programs for children and adults, wide beaches and clean warm water make Tunisia a great place for a budget family holiday.
Beach season at exotic Asian resorts
Asian countries are another possible destination for a beach holiday. Most often, tourists choose the United Arab Emirates, Maldives, Vietnam or Thailand.
- Located almost at the equator Maldives - beach season here lasts all twelve months. In principle, there is no winter there. Such constancy is inherent not only in air temperature, but also in water temperature - in the Maldives you will be comfortable swimming in both winter and summer. The only problem that vacationers in the Maldives may encounter is storms. During them, due to strong waves, swimming is almost impossible. However, there are storms in the Maldives only in December and June, and the rest of the time the sea is generally calm.
- Beach season in Thailand is not limited by anything - you will be absolutely comfortable at any time of the year. The water and air temperatures here remain constant, and storms are extremely rare. Most tourists see the point in coming here in winter, when nearby resorts are already closed. Thus, from December to April the influx of vacationers is especially large. If you can't go on vacation in the summer, in Thailand you can bask in the sun even on New Year's Eve.
- The optimal time for a holiday in the United Arab Emirates is spring and autumn. At this time, the water warms up to 22°C, and the air temperature is not yet too high - it is comfortable to be outside even at noon. Winter is not the best time to travel to the UAE, as there can be strong winds, and the water and air temperatures are not very conducive to a beach holiday. In summer, the air temperature often rises above 40°C, which makes it impossible to stay outdoors for a long time.
- It is impossible to say for sure when beach season in Vietnam. The temperature on the southern and northern coasts here differs significantly. The south coast is worth visiting in winter. The rainy season begins here in the spring and continues until November. There is no swimming on the northern coast in winter - the best time to go is the beginning of spring or the end. However, when visiting the north in spring and autumn, be prepared for periodic rains.
Now travel agencies offer trips to any country in the world for a beach holiday: you can find the ideal destination for every taste and every budget. However, when planning your trip, it is worth taking into account the weather conditions in the destination country. Many exotic resorts are too hot in summer, while some European beaches have cool water all year round. To avoid spoiling your vacation, read in advance the information in our article about which resorts offer beach holidays during your vacation.

In the middle zone, summer lasts three months, but the beach season in most cases falls exclusively at the end of July. In addition, it is quite difficult to find clean, equipped beaches in your hometown.

Türkiye is a country that needs no introduction. For millions of tourists, it has become synonymous with affordable but varied recreation. In the summer people come here for the beaches and interesting excursions, in the winter to go skiing, and in the off-season to study the architectural monuments in more detail. If we add to this Turkey’s huge opportunities for shopping and active recreation, it becomes clear: you can travel around the Mediterranean country all year round. What features does each season have?
Türkiye is a classic summer destination. You can sunbathe on its coast from the middle, but the main flow of tourists occurs in July-August. At this time, the temperature reaches its peak and the resorts are filled to capacity.
May
September
Without exaggeration, the golden time for a holiday in Turkey is. The weather is pleasant with summer warmth, but without the stifling heat. A particularly pleasant climate sets in by mid-September and resembles the weather in the second half of May. At this time, the air is warmed up to +28 °C, the sea has not yet cooled down - it is warmed up to +24 °C. The first rains come at the end of the month, but they do not spoil the holiday. September is ideal for swimming and excursions.
October
Closer to mid-October. At the beginning of the month the weather is the same as in September. But from mid-October, autumn makes itself known more and more clearly. The air is cooled to +25 °C, water - to +21 °C. The wind on the coast is picking up - in the evening it becomes cool and you may need a jacket. In October you can still go to Turkey for a beach holiday, but it is better to have and plan excursions.

Low season in Turkey: weather by month
Life in Turkey does not come to a standstill when summer ends. On the contrary, you can discover another face of this country. This is a favorable time for excursion trips, ski and health tourism.
November
At the beginning, there is a lull on the coast, although you can still sunbathe and in some years even swim. By the end of the month, the wind increases and the number of rainy days increases. The average temperature is +22 °C, the sea cools down to +19 °C. One of the best periods for a healthy holiday is coming. Turkey has a huge number of spa hotels and dozens of modern health centers - there is no low season for this type of holiday.
December
At the beginning of winter, the air in Turkey warms up to only +16 °C, and visiting beach resorts where the sky is overcast and the wind is blowing is out of the question. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to educational tourism - you can visit Istanbul and it. The city is also good for shopping. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy discovering the snow-covered slopes of Turkey. They are an affordable alternative to European destinations and still boast excellent infrastructure.
January February
The first two months of the year in Turkey are the most. In most regions, the temperature does not exceed +12 °C, and on some days it reaches only 0 °C. Sometimes the snow cover lasts for a week. and - suitable months for sightseeing tourism, shopping and active recreation. You can go to the Uludag resort, whose slopes attract snowboarders and skiers.

March
Spring is already in full swing - during the day the air warms up to +20 °C, but the nights are still cool. Ski resorts close by mid-month. Therefore, it is better to focus on excursion holidays. Spa tours are also in demand.
April
If it looks like this, then at the end of the month you can already sunbathe, although no one is swimming yet. The air is heated to +25 °C, the water - to +18 °C. While it's not too hot and there are relatively few tourists, you can go hiking and take tours of the ancient ruins. At this time, Türkiye is buried in flowers, so it is worth timing your trip with the Istanbul Tulip Festival.
When is the best time to go to Turkey?
The high season in Turkey is always ideal for a beach holiday. At the beginning of summer and during the velvet season, you can include excursions, and if you want to master the mountain slopes, you should come in December-February. You can enjoy pleasant weather and visit attractions without the risk of freezing or getting sunstroke in March and
The choice of countries where you can go on vacation in January is large, but these are mainly Asian destinations or exotic countries. Therefore, prices are steep and you need to plan your vacation in advance.
There is much more choice among countries where the air temperature fluctuates around 29-31 degrees.
Where is it warm and possible to swim in January?
Thailand is the main choice of tourists
![](https://i1.wp.com/summerhotels.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/thai-travel.jpg)
After the New Year, Thailand gradually begins to reach its peak weather conditions . In addition to the ideal air temperature, there is also the warmest sea, which by the beginning of January warms up to 29-30 degrees. The New Year holidays in the Kingdom are the peak season and the beaches are full of tourists, so it is better to plan trips after the 5th-7th, when a batch of tourists with thick wallets who can afford a trip at the height of the season will leave the resorts.
Dominican Republic - a beach paradise on the other side of the ocean
In January, the peak tourist season begins in the resorts of the Dominican Republic, which will last until March. Snow-white beaches are recognized by UNESCO as one of the most beautiful in the world. Palm trees, mangrove forests and a sea with a stunningly beautiful underwater world are a great opportunity to discover diving. Punta Cana has 3 national parks where you will see many exotic animals and reptiles, shows with talking parrots and swim with dolphins. Be sure to take individual excursions, visit one of the neighboring islands and drive jeeps on safari. In the evening, you will find incendiary parties in clubs, dancing on the beach until the morning and night sailing on a yacht.
Sunny and rich on excursions Tenerife
New Year in Tenerife is the second peak of the season, when there are even more vacationers than in summer. But immediately after the end of the New Year holidays, the island becomes noticeably empty. Hotels are ready to receive guests practically for free. Therefore, in the northern part of the island you can relax cheaper than in Turkey in the summer.
The ocean is gradually cooling, but +20 is a quite tolerable temperature for swimming. If you're cold, you can swim in the hotel pool. But the sun in the south of the island continues to heat the air to pleasant values from +22 to +27. It's a little cooler in the north due to cloud cover and possible rain, which doesn't always reach the south.
But if you come to see Tenerife, then it would be wiser to settle on the northern part of the island in Puerto de la Cruz, and on cloudy days, rent a car (many cars are idle in winter) and go south to sunbathe. It’s even more convenient to get on excursions from the north.
And there is something to see. A visit to the Teide volcano and the national park around it and the killer whale show at Loro Parque are worth it!
Unusual resorts in Vietnam
Vietnam this year replaces Egypt, taking third place in the ranking of popular destinations in the first half of the year. For a beach holiday in January, you should go to the south of the country (Vung Tau, Ke Ga, Mui Ne, Phan Thiet, Phu Quoc), where it is sunny and dry at this time. It may be cloudy and occasionally rain, but the weather in central or northern Vietnam cannot be compared. Precipitation in the south lasts no more than 3-4 days, in other regions its amount reaches 10-12 days.
Egypt open and closed again...
Egypt can no longer offer a warm sea, but it is quite possible to take refuge on a sun lounger by the pool in the rays of the warm sun! And it will cost very little, since the peak season has already passed.
In addition to the cooling sea, winds will be a disadvantage, so Sharm El Sheikh and Taba, protected by the mountains, are in higher demand. On the other hand, the lack of heat is an excellent opportunity to explore the land of the pyramids for the most daring, since no one has yet lifted the recommendation to “not leave” the hotel area.
Arabian Diamond - UAE
The weather conditions in the UAE are very similar to Egypt, but there is something to do here besides swimming in the sea and hanging out at the bar. We recommend going here for those who like to go on excursions and organize their own leisure time. In today's conditions, this is a completely adequate alternative to Egypt, but a little more expensive. You shouldn’t really count on a beach holiday. Cool weather, wind and waves await you - in general, the dream of surfers, who, by the way, are starting the high season. The rest can only walk along the shore, enjoying the promenade, or take excursions, visit camel racing or Moroccan baths, getting acquainted with the traditions of the country. Another category of January tourists are shopaholics, who were lured by crazy discounts at the Dubai Shopping Festival.
Unforgettable New Year holidays Sri Lanka
You can vacation in Sri Lanka at any time of the year if you choose the right coast. In January, this is the southwest coast, the main difference from the northeast coast is the amount of precipitation. They are here for no more than 3-5 days, while in the north it’s hard to imagine a vacation without an umbrella and a raincoat. The central regions are also prone to precipitation due to the mountain ranges located here blocking the monsoons. Otherwise, the temperatures of the island during the day and at night vary slightly between different regions.
Awesome Indian state of Goa
Fans of the hot tropics will find scorching sun and a very special atmosphere during the day. A very warm and calm sea creates all the opportunities for a carefree time on the beach during the day. And everyone spends the evening in their own way. Someone does yoga on the beach, someone just lies like a seal, unable to get up after another too much alcohol or anything stronger.
Goa is absolutely not the place where you should go with children, but those who want to break away from civilization and have a blast here should like it...
Paradise and serenity of the Maldives atolls
Islands rarely leave the Top 10 of our ranking due to the “eternal summer” weather. January here is associated with the beginning of the dry season. Forecasters cannot guarantee the absence of precipitation; on average, there are from 1 to 5 rainy days per month (depending on the atoll). The direction of the winds also changed, due to which the humidity decreased to 75-80%. For those who prefer a calm ocean, we recommend the second half of the month.
Mexico - an unforgettable trip
The season in Mexico begins to pick up sharply by December 20, when Americans yearning for the sun come en masse to the country's resorts. On New Year's Eve there's nowhere for an apple to fall. By mid-January, resort life returns to normal rhythm and this is the best time to travel to Mexican resorts. For a beach holiday, it is better to choose resorts on the Gulf of Mexico (Veracruz, Mirido) or on the Caribbean Sea (Cancun). Here at this time the weather is more comfortable and the water is warmer than on the Pacific coast. Fans of hot climates should settle in Acapulco, where the warmest sea in the country is.
Where to relax with children during the winter holidays?
Most family tourists prefer to spend their holidays in a more budget-friendly Egypt. In January it is still warm enough to sunbathe, but you will have to swim in the pool. For children this is only a plus. In winter, it is better to relax in Sharm El Sheikh, as it is less windy here due to the surrounding mountain ranges. Unfortunately, so far everything is going to the point that by January, tours to Egypt with charters will not be sold yet.
Most often, our tourists fly to Thailand on vacation with their children in January. It’s quite possible to find a family hotel here, and the children’s entertainment industry will not let you get bored. If you plan your flight after January 4-5 and miss the first week of school, then you can easily meet up to 150,000 rubles for everyone.
Southern resorts are also suitable for families with children. Many even consider them more suitable for family tourism. According to tourists, there is less debauchery there, which can be found willy-nilly at Thai resorts.
For those who prefer European service and active recreation, we recommend that you consider . Here, children can enjoy a killer whale show, a stunning water park, a hike to the crater of a volcano and unforgettable landscapes. Swimming pools in hotels and water parks are heated to +24º, and the ocean is still quite warm (+21º).
Of the exotic destinations, this is the best option. Here children will find 5* hotels with high quality service, snow-white beaches, palm trees and a sea of sunshine. In terms of service, Cuba and Mexico are noticeably inferior in terms of quality.
Weekend tours to amusement parks
An original and fairly budget-friendly solution - a trip to Paris or Barcelona. Near each of the cities there are some of the largest amusement parks in the world: Disneyland and Port Aventura.
It is best to go on weekdays, when there is not such a high demand for hotels and air tickets. It is better to choose housing between parks and the metropolis, so as not to overpay for the location. To visit the park, any child will be ready to go through the museum halls of the Louvre :)
In Europe there are other amusement parks that operate on New Year's holidays:
Looking for Santa Claus
Another popular type of family tourism is independent trips to Finland. This is where families go to look for Santa Claus. In the city of Rovaniemi is the residence of the Finnish Santa - Joulupukki, with elves, reindeer, gifts and gingerbread cookies.
Or you can save money and visit.
Holidays at ski resorts
Many people refuse to go on a ski holiday because of their own inability or unwillingness to ski. Great! Don't ride. But don’t deprive your child of pleasure, and yourself, of outdoor walks and stunning views. Beautiful landscapes, clean mountain air, snow, family evenings by the fireplace - all this is quite possible and at a price much cheaper than a seaside holiday.
On the territory of the Krasnaya Polyana resort there are 3 ski resorts - Rosa Khutor, Gazprom Laura and Gornaya Karusel. The skiing season begins in December and ends in mid-spring. All ski resorts are located in the villages of Esto-Sadok and Krasnaya Polyana. The distance from one ski resort to another is from 1 to 5 kilometers.
