We suggest where you can pack your suitcase for the last winter month. Which beach resorts are the hottest in February?

If your vacation comes at the end of winter, rejoice! A beach holiday in February has many advantages. Besides the fact that most warm countries are still in high season, tours abroad can be found within any budget, because... The New Year and Christmas rush has already subsided.

We are looking for inexpensive tours online - without extra charges from travel agencies - using services that compare offers from all tour operators at once:

We use the first two in case of early booking, and the last one we turn to for last-minute tours. We study, choose the option you like and book right there, because, as a rule, if you postpone it until the next day, you won’t be able to find a “delicious” price again.

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 holiday 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. The honeymoon will be 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 have become increasingly popular among Russians in recent years - 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

The climate of our country is characterized by seasonality and sudden temperature changes. Nine-tenths of its territory annually encounters a cold, windy, snowy February. Therefore, in the Slavic calendar the third month of winter was called “fierce” or “section”.

Above-zero temperatures at the end of winter please only residents of the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus and the southern coast of Crimea. But even there, February is gloomy and inhospitable: rains, winds, stormy seas.

The weather affects people's well-being and mood. Lack of sunlight, vitamin deficiency, daily temperature changes (from cold to warm, back to cold) reduce the body's defenses. As a result, a wave of viral diseases rises.

Since the end of the last century, Russians have considered a trip to the south, to the warm sea, somewhere in the tropics, a reliable remedy for the manifestations of seasonal melancholy and loss of strength. It's good that air travel exists. Seven to ten hours on board the airliner - the sun is already shining, and a warm ocean wave is splashing at your feet.

A beach holiday in February is what you need. At this time, the heat in the southern latitudes subsides, so it’s nice to get acquainted with exotic nature. Excursions to the sights do not tire you. Studying cultural traditions motivates you to explore new routes. Physical activity gives you a boost of energy. In a number of destinations, tourists can expect price reductions and seasonal promotions.

Thailand

Fifty years since Thailand has been a center of year-round international tourism. Initially, the tourist route to the fabulous kingdom of Southeast Asia was laid by Europeans. And, twenty years later, our compatriots flocked to the coast, escaping the Russian winter. The increase in the flow of tourists was affected by the simplified visa regime: you fill out a migration card at the entrance and you legally stay in the kingdom for a month.
