Find out where you can cheaply relax at sea in the summer of 2019 abroad and in Russia! We have chosen the most popular destinations for a holiday by the sea and for everyone we counted cost index. It will help you understand where to vacation is cheap and where it is expensive. Compare indexes, choose a resort and go on vacation on a budget.

How do we calculate the index?

We calculate two holiday cost indices: for vacationers on a tour and for independent tourists.

Tour holiday index. For each destination we find the cheapest tours for two for 10 days. To the cost of the tour per person we add the cost of a visa (if needed). We divide the result by 10. We get the cost of vacation per day per person.

We sum up the main expenses of a tourist and divide by 10:

Air tickets. We are looking for the cheapest round trip flight from Moscow. Tickets can be without luggage and with transfers.
Housing. We find double rooms at the minimum price, we do not consider hostels. Calculation per person for 10 days.
Visa (if needed).

What are we not counting? Food, travel, excursions, etc. - these expenses are individual and difficult to calculate. Our index does not reflect all travel expenses, but allows you to compare the cost of a vacation on a basic basis.

Why are tickets and tours only from Moscow considered? Firstly, most tourists fly from the capital on vacation. Secondly, the cheapest tickets and tours are usually from Moscow. If we count the indices for departures from all Russian cities, the review will surpass War and Peace in volume.

Is it possible to get even cheaper? Can! In some cases, your vacation will cost less than according to our estimates. You will save if:

find a cheap one or ;
you already have open Schengen and are going to Europe;
fly on vacation during the low season.

Prices have been updated for the summer season 2019 and are indicated in Russian rubles. Indices for European countries are duplicated in euros, for Asia - in US dollars.

Holidays abroad have always been considered a very expensive pleasure. However, there are many ways to reduce the cost of such a vacation so much that it becomes accessible to almost anyone.

Of course, it is much easier to travel abroad with the help of an agency. All you have to do is pay the money, and specialists will take care of purchasing tickets, booking a hotel, and completing paperwork. But the overpayment for the work of these very specialists is really huge - you can save from 5 to 20% of the cost of the trip.

For example, self-study a visa will already give you savings of one hundred euros - that’s how much the services of intermediaries will cost. It’s very easy to get a visa to some countries, so don’t be afraid of paperwork - you’ll have to run around a little, but the savings are impressive.

If you definitely want to relax in a hotel, you should book it in advance and online. Sometimes serious discounts are offered if you prepay a couple of months before arrival.

It is also worth remembering that hotels near the sea are much more expensive - just choose a hotel a little further away, and the price will drop several times. Also, rooms with beautiful view from the window.

Hostel in Thailand

However, you shouldn’t focus on hotels. In many foreign countries you can very inexpensively rent a room or a private house - this way you can spend less money on housing in a month than in two weeks. One more inexpensive option accommodations are hostels - large rooms with a bed, a night in which can cost from three dollars.

There are many countries, mostly Asian and African, where you can spend just a few dollars a day on accommodation, food and entertainment. Of course, this is only possible if independent travel.

Thailand

This country is rightfully considered the cheapest for independent rest. If you're lucky, you can find a room for $100 a month, which looks ridiculous even compared to our rental prices. In Thailand, you can also quite inexpensively rent a wonderful house near the beach or right on the seashore.

House in Thailand

You can also eat very cheaply here, especially if you cook for yourself - prices for vegetables, meat and simple fruits in Thailand are very low, especially in the markets. If you don’t want to cook and don’t know how, then in local cafes you can have a full meal for just one dollar, and the lunch will include noodles or rice with meat, as well as some kind of drink.

Prices for other goods, including clothing, are just as meager here. If you are not too concerned about branding and quality, then Thailand is a good place to go shopping.

Vietnam

Friendly Vietnam has always been of great importance for Russian tourists. Only here could you find a room in a three-star hotel for $25 a day, and at the same time receive a level of service equal to good complexes Egypt or Emirates.

Entertainment area Vietnamese resorts also cannot but delight experienced travelers. The guest here is the main person, regardless of the country from which he came.

Vietnam, Nha Trang

For guests in most recreation areas, all conditions are created to make their vacation a success. On average, in a couple of weeks, even with the maximum program, no more than $500 is spent on entertainment. More is already from the category of luxury.

Meals are often already included in the price of a hotel stay, but in rare cases, when it is clearly low-cost, you have to pay extra for each breakfast, lunch and dinner. The average price tag of Vietnamese hotel cafes is $8-10 for a full lunch. Finding it cheaper is quite possible, but the quality of such food will raise doubts among many.

Shopping in Vietnam is a separate article for the joy of thrifty Russians. Local markets have long become synonymous with cheapness, albeit with a reservation about the quality of the goods. Few tourists return from Vietnam without an impressive bag with all kinds of inexpensive clothes, shoes and souvenirs.

Cambodia

You won’t be able to get to Cambodia, like neighboring Vietnam, without a visa. But, the additional expense item is compensated relatively inexpensive travel packages, and reasonable prices for rooms even in prestigious ones hotel complexes.

The monthly cost of living here starts from $200. This is higher than the minimum in Thailand or Vietnam, because in last years The demand for tours to Cambodia is growing. Hotels for the most part are cozy, comfortable buildings near beaches and important attractions.

Shopping and cultural programs Cambodia is also attractive for Russian tourists. Markets and shopping centers It's a little more expensive here than in Vietnam, but still definitely cheaper than most countries in the Asian region.

Philippines

Housing in major cities Philippines can be found for $360 per month. And in full tourist city Cebu, with beaches and large shops, housing prices start at $150.

For a whole month of living in the country, $200 is enough for food, tobacco and alcohol, and if you don’t smoke or drink, then expenses are significantly reduced. A glass of beer or a carton of cigarettes costs about 60 cents here. Such prices make the country very cheap to live in.

Abkhazia

Fraternal Abkhazia is formally a foreign country, but the vast majority of tours from Russia here have ruble price tags. For 20,000 rubles you can find interesting offers for tours to Pitsunda or Gagra. In addition, prices for accommodation in New Athos are quite reasonable, in hotels with a rating of 3 stars or more.

The recreation program in Abkhazia is always varied. Even last-minute tours may imply a visit to one of the famous sanatoriums or a trip to the most significant sights of the republic.
