Inexpensive vacation in March. Where to go in March to the sea abroad

Helpful Hints 19.06.2020

Undoubtedly, with the onset of winter, any person who loves himself and his family begins to draw closer in his fantasies the days of rest, when he will finally go to golden beaches and enjoy cocktails under the shadows of tropical plants. But, if you have to wait a long time for the summer season, then you should not be upset, because you can spend a holiday in March 2018 abroad inexpensively and a beach holiday at sea will be no worse than a summer one.

Visa-free travel countries

The main advantages that March 2019 gives are an inexpensive, very high-quality, warm and exciting vacation, suitable for both a child and an adult traveler. Of course, before you go on vacation somewhere, you should find out about the availability of a visa-free regime (if running around with getting it does not appeal to you), since there are countries where you can relax cheaper and at the same time not think about a visa at all.

Usually in the spring, many travelers go spontaneously, rarely anyone manages to plan a trip specifically for March, for this reason, places with no visa regime will come in handy.

If you are interested in hot tours for March, you can use the services of numerous travel agencies, which can easily help you choose a tour individually or for two to those countries where entry into the territory is allowed without a visa. Of course, in March 2018, you can not leave the expanses of your native country and go, for example, to the Adler beach.

Since the weather cannot yet provide summer warmth and it’s nice to warm up the waters of the Black Sea, then the prices for holidays in Adler in March are quite loyal, especially for vouchers to sanatoriums and boarding houses. If you want to relax where it is already hot even in early spring, then choose a vacation in the Dominican Republic in March, where the air and water are warmed up to 30 degrees and can provide excellent conditions for beach relaxation.

Holidays in Israel in March are no less attractive, although the water temperature is not very pleasant (+ 19-21 ° C), but sightseeing (pilgrimage) or wellness vouchers can be purchased cheaper compared to the busy season.

Turkey hotels

Of course, the Turkish Mediterranean cannot boast of ideal weather in the spring, for this reason, the cost of a holiday in Turkey is affordable for everyone. Do not forget about Turkish resorts just because the weather cannot provide the warmth that it is famous for in the summer in Antalya or Kemer. After all, many hotels do not stop working even in unclaimed seasons, with heated indoor pools and fantastic spa treatments.

Due to the lack of vacationing compatriots, early spring is better time in order to finally leave the popular "all inclusive" and start getting to know the country tightly, which is not limited to beaches and hotel stays. Try to get around as many sights as possible, especially since there are plenty of them in the country.

Egypt

If you decide to spend your holidays in Egypt in March, then it is better to plan it towards the end of the month, as well as closer to the north, for example, in Sharm el-Sheikh. On the north coast, you will have more chances to bask on the golden Egyptian beaches, compared to the cool Hurghada at this time.

But even in warm regions at the beginning of spring, weather instability is noticed, accompanied by strong sandstorms, which can overshadow all desire to stay in the resort further. The most remarkable thing about the March holiday in Egypt is its uncertainty, so do not forget to put clothes for all occasions in your suitcase, i.e. starting from a swimsuit, ending with a sweater or a light jacket.

Thailand

Every traveler who intends to spend a weekend under the sun bathing in the warm sea needs to go to Thailand in March. Every day spent on the Thai islands or in its continental part will surely bring you a lot of impressions, and the lack of crowds on the beaches and in local museums guarantees maximum pleasure from
recreation.

Basically, holidays in Thailand in March are preferred by young people, since the presence of a huge number of entertainment places and noisy clubs here is simply incredible. Also, the excursion program in the "country of Thais" promises to be quite rich, cheap and very interesting.

Beach holidays at sea

If you take a good look at the world map, you can find many places where a beach holiday in March will be attractive in all respects, namely in terms of weather and cost. Of course, in the countries of Southeast Asia, these indicators are the most attractive, especially in Thailand and Vietnam, but if you need loyal prices for tours and a minimum number of compatriots, then buy cheap tours in March to India or Sri Lanka.

Goa

For those travelers who are looking for a holiday destination that combines a magnificent sandy beach, warm and clear weather, as well as a loyal cost of living in any type of accommodation, then a holiday in Goa in March will be the place for you. The smallest, but very popular Indian state among vacationers boasts of its beaches.

Golden sand on a wide and long coastline is best suited for holidays with small children. If you were planning a vacation in the spring, then this is the most correct decision, since the air temperature here warms up above 30 degrees and sea water also tends to exceed +26°C.

Tours to popular resorts in March 2019

If you contact a travel agency, then you will definitely find the best option, focusing on your financial capabilities and preferences. As a rule, many travelers believe that February is the last month for a “warm” holiday, so they leave the resort countries and free up space on the beaches, allegedly due to the end of the “high” season.

But not everyone knows that March-April on many coasts can still boast of excellent weather, while giving warmth, lack of crowds of compatriots and loyal prices for both flights and accommodation in the most expensive hotels.

If you do not want to overshadow your trip for two or the whole family with "wet" days, then you should set your sights on tropical South and Southeast Asia, as well as on the "dry" Middle East and the Caribbean. Of course, the Mediterranean regions can also be very friendly, but it’s quite difficult to say for sure that there will be no rain there.

If you need warmth, and the possible minimum amount of precipitation will not frighten you, then go to:

  • United Arab Emirates;
  • China;
  • Vietnam;
  • Thailand;
  • Cuba;
  • Dominican Republic;
  • Mexico;
  • Malaysia;
  • Indonesia;
  • Sri Lanka, etc.

Vietnam

Holidays in Vietnam in March 2019 or any other year are incredibly hot, juicy and divine moments that only a resort can give. Of course, any Vietnamese camp site can please vacationers with its loyal prices, even though the temperature indicators in spring are quite “summer”.

Due to the fact that the holidays in Russia end in winter, vacationers leave the resorts even before the onset of spring. Knowing this, you can take the chance and visit the pristine beaches of Nha Trang or Phan Thiet. Of course, you can’t call a vacation in Vietnam the cheapest, but you can’t overpay a little for the bright sun and perfect beaches not at all sorry.

UAE

If you want to visit an Arabian fairy tale in the real world, then you can go on vacation to the UAE in March, especially since, as of February 2019, entry to Russian citizens is allowed without a visa. Often, this country is visited not only by lovers of beach “doing nothing”, but also by connoisseurs of quality things, perfume, technology, etc.

The weather in spring begins to pick up pace, although the main peak of excitement among travelers falls precisely from November to March. Due to the fact that at the beginning of spring in the UAE, temperature indicators are only rising, many people try to leave the beaches in winter, and in summer they prefer to visit less hot resorts.

Weather in March at popular resorts

As you have noticed, many states are able to provide tourists who have arrived on their territory with excellent weather conditions, especially when February ends and spring comes. If you choose the Bay of Bengal, the Gulf of Thailand or the Gulf of Mexico, the Red, South China or Philippine Sea for your vacation, then be calm due to the weather, and if the weather forecast does not console you, then look at the reviews of travelers who have been there in the spring.

In March, a very good time for trips to hot countries with clean beaches and warm enough water.

Holidays with a child abroad

Egypt, UAE, Tenerife, Thailand, etc. What to do with children there?

Egypt

The flight takes only a few hours. Children are offered all kinds of leisure activities with entertainment. The water temperature is optimal for a long stay at sea. There are sandstorms that last one or two days and strong gusty winds.

At the disposal of children are beach and sea holidays, water parks, game rooms. The weather in March spoils the sun and warm sea.

Tenerife

This paradise in March will give the whole family a great opportunity to enjoy the sea views, take part in local holidays, carnivals. A beach holiday will help you relax, stock up on health and positive emotions for many months.

Thailand

By choosing a resort in Thailand, you can save a lot of money, since it is not yet a season, and there is no influx of tourists yet. The weather is ideal for beach holidays, water excursions and surfing.

It is in March that ideal weather is set in Goa for families with children, as there is still no sweltering heat, and children can splash around in the waters of the Arabian Sea for hours. A lot of children's joy will bring the celebration of spring, or the Festival of Colors.

Vietnam

In March, Vietnam is attractive for family tourism with children with budget prices, sunny weather, clean beaches washed by the waters of the South China Sea. The mass of all kinds of attractions, beautiful natural pictures.

Holidays with a child in Russia

Sochi, St. Petersburg, Mineralnye Vody. There is a lot to do with kids here!

Sochi park

It will be fun not only for children, but also for adults! A huge number of attractions (there are more than 20 of them), bright fairy-tale houses, the Bogatyr castle and many adventures will keep you busy for the whole day! Also here you can visit the dolphinarium, go through various quests and master classes. Rope park is a popular entertainment.

No need to go to France... We have our own Russian Disneyland!

St. Petersburg

A city with a rich historical past, museums, palaces and cathedrals. It is better to study history not at school, but live! Go to the Hermitage, St. Isaac's Cathedral, the Zoological Museum, you can also go to Tsarskoye Selo, and in the evening see how the bridges are raised. Take your child to the Planetarium and visit the wax exhibition in Gostiny Dvor, where you can take pictures with popular fairy tale characters.

A vacation in March is not a sentence, but a unique opportunity to reconsider the route of your journey to the sea. After all, many are already tired of the Black Sea coast and crowded Turkish beaches, and tourists go there more out of habit than inspiration. But the first month of spring is in no way suitable for a beach holiday at home or in neighboring countries, so travelers have to turn their attention to resorts that resemble heaven on earth and make them return there more than once.

The Canary Islands are perhaps the only place in Europe where you can soak up the beach in March. Usually tourists choose one of 2 resorts: Tenerife or Las Palmas. In the first month of spring it is quite warm weather in addition, the process of acclimatization is much faster than, for example, in Asian countries. And, of course, tourists call prices the advantage of a March beach holiday in the Canary Islands. The fact is that at the beginning of spring it is not yet the season, so even a family with an average income can afford a ticket.

The gentle sun is not yet baking like summer, and the waters of the Atlantic Ocean have already warmed up enough. Those who have chosen Tenerife for a beach holiday are advised to stay on the south coast of the island. Here the ocean is much calmer, it rains less often and the air is drier. Near the beaches covered with white sand, there are many cafes and restaurants. Most Tenerife hotels operate on an all-inclusive basis, which is very convenient for families with children.

The northern coast cannot boast of the same warm climate, but there are more sights that exude antiquity and mystery. In addition, accommodation prices are much lower than in the southern part of the island. True, the ocean is almost never calm.

In Tenerife, the tourist will not be bored, in a fairly small area there are many unusual and interesting sights. One of them is the Teide volcano. At its foot is a national park, and on the slopes you can admire unique endemic plants.

The hallmark of the city, built in the style of postmodernism, is the Auditorio de Tenerife. The building, resembling a huge wave, has a chamber and symphony hall with an organ, as well as a port gallery.

If you want to see how the noble Spanish conquistadors and clergy lived, then you are in the ancient city of La Laguna. More than 500 Mudéjar buildings have been preserved here. The Anaga lighthouse is also on the list of interesting places in Tenerife - to get to it, you have to overcome a 30 km long path from the capital. It is reminiscent of a journey through a fairytale forest with centuries-old trees. And the kids will definitely like the Siam Park water amusement park and the Pueblo Chico miniature park.

  • Weather: air temperature - 19-21 0 C, water - about 20 0 C.
  • The cost of travel: from Moscow to Tenerife and back by plane - from 400 euros per person. Accommodation in a middle-class hotel - from 380 euros for 10 days (without meals).

On Liberty Island, the first month of spring is the peak of the tourist season. Although the weather brings surprises, it is extremely rare. After all, the rainy season is still 2 months away. A distinctive feature of the Cuban climate is high humidity, regardless of the season. In March, the water off the coast is warm, but the sun may seem too scorching, so experienced tourists are advised to take suntan cosmetics to the beach.

Another advantage spring holiday Cuba has a rich cultural program. It is practically an island of carnivals, rum and cigars. And all this fun is concentrated in Havana. But if you prefer outdoor activities, then we advise you to go to Varadero or Cayo Coco. These resorts are famous for the abundance of water activities - diving, surfing, kiteboarding. The advantages of a holiday on Liberty Island also include the fact that you do not have to apply for a visa, and many locals perfectly understand the Russian language.

Travelers call theft and the black market one of the minuses of Cuba. It is better not to leave your things unattended and not to buy questionable goods from street vendors. On many wild beaches in the water there are sea ​​snakes and hedgehogs, so it is better to enter the water in rubber slippers. And fans of spending time on the Internet will be disappointed - the signal here is very weak.

As for cultural recreation, it will be very diverse. Only in Varadero there are more than a dozen attractions that give a complete picture of the life of the Cubans. Billionaire Dupont's home, picturesque Guam Park, Saint Elvira Church, House of Roma, Belyamar Cave, Varaikakos Natural Park, Dolphinarium and Tobacco Plantations in Pinar del Río - almost every day you can visit a new interesting place.

  • The cost of travel: There are direct flights from Sheremetyevo Airport to Havana. Tour for 2 people on the "all inclusive" system - from 140,000 rubles. for 10 days with a flight.

Dry, sunny and hot - this is how you can characterize the weather in Thailand in March. It is the spring season that is ideal for a vacation by the sea. at this time it is possible at almost any resort. Pattaya, Phuket, Hua Hin, Krabi, Koh Samui, Chiang Mai - everywhere the daily temperature is above 30 degrees, and precipitation is unlikely.

The advantages of a March holiday on one of the islands of Thailand include the cleanest beaches with blue water, excellent Asian cuisine, an abundance of attractions and architectural monuments, diving opportunities, lush tropical vegetation, low prices and the hospitality of local residents. Of the minuses, only a rather long flight and high humidity can be noted.

The cultural program will bring no less positive than a holiday on the sea coast. Elephant riding, mesmerizing shows with venomous snakes, crocodile farms, Buddhist temples and ancient ruins, nature reserves - the choice is so wide that one vacation will not be able to see all the most interesting. Each of the islands has an extensive excursion program. For example, you will get about 30 ancient temples, a Sitting Buddha statue, Bang Pae waterfall and a pearl farm. Pattaya will surprise you with the uninhabited macaque island, Nong Nooch Botanical Garden, Sukhawadi Palace, Golden Buddha Mountain.

Hua Hin Resort is famous for Khao Takiab Temple, Night Markets, Elephant Village and Klai Kang Won Palace. And Koh Samui offers to visit the temples of Wat Kunaram and Plai Laem, the Ang Thong National Marine Park and the Buddha Garden, the Insect Museum and the Na Muang waterfalls.

In March, you can have a great rest in the Maldives - this is the penultimate month of the high season, there is no rain, the air and water temperatures are quite comfortable. North Male is especially popular. This is the main atoll, the capital and the airport are located on it. The beaches that make up the main part of North Male are not noisy, although there are slightly more boats here than in other places. Under spreading palm trees, you will be able to wait out the heat, and you can stay not in an expensive hotel, but in small hostels on Villingili Island. The cost of living here is around $ 50 per night - however, you will have to forget about the notorious Maldivian paradise here, as well as about the all-inclusive system.

The Maldives cannot boast of an abundance of attractions, but still you won’t be bored here. You can visit the Palace of Muliage, the tomb of Meduziarai and ancient mosques. The rich underwater world will appear before the traveler on a coral reef near the island of Helengeli. No less interesting for its inhabitants is the Banana Reef.

Naturally, on each island you will be offered a variety of water activities: surfing, yachting, diving, and water skiing. The abundance of tennis courts and sports grounds will make your stay not only pleasant, but also useful. And the variety of tropical fruits and the hospitable attitude of the locals will be the final chord in this amazing journey into a fairy tale. Another plus of the Maldives is that you do not need to open a visa.

  • Cost of living: from 120 000 rub. for an 8-day tour for two (only breakfast included). An all-inclusive holiday will cost 240-270 thousand rubles for 2 people.

In March, Goa is still not as hot as in April or May, but it is dry, there is practically no rain. Ideal for a beach holiday at a comfortable temperature and gentle sun. Another plus of the March vacation is that there are not so many tourists on the beaches, you can find secluded, quiet corners. Due to the small number of travelers, food and entertainment prices are also falling. To have lunch or breakfast in a restaurant or cafe, you do not have to stand in lines for several hours. A small flow of tourists also has a positive effect on the cleanliness of the Arabian Sea, beaches and streets.

Of the minuses, it can be noted that at the end of the month many beach cafes close, there are not so many parties as, say, in February. Also, after the 20th, water activities - snorkeling and scuba diving - stop working. If you want souvenirs, then it is better to buy them immediately on the day of arrival, at the end of the month most of the shops selling knick-knacks will be closed.

But even in March, a tourist will not be bored in Goa. Several festivals, visits to museums, old forts and attractions diversify a beach holiday. At the beginning of the month, the Festival of Colors is held in India, and it is celebrated on a large scale in Goa. People are having fun, throwing colors at each other, singing and dancing. In the first month of spring, the mango season begins - a symbol of this Indian state. You can learn a lot of interesting things by visiting the museum naval aviation, a UNESCO World Heritage Site - the Basilica de Bom Jesus, the Archaeological Museum in Old Goa and the Church of St. Francis of Assisi.

rest in United Arab Emirates it is better to plan for the second half of March. In the early days, the sea is still cool, it rains from time to time, and the night temperature drops to 16-17 0 С. It gets warmer every day, and at the end of the month the daytime temperature already rises to 28-30 0 С. a small number of tourists - the beaches are semi-desert, the prices are reasonable, and the service is at a high level.

The only thing that can spoil the rest is sandstorms, which just happen in March. Then the cities are covered with a layer of sand, and it is not recommended to go outside without special need.

If the weather fails or you just get tired of lying on the beach, you can always go sightseeing. In March, the UAE hosts several festivals, horse races and a golf championship. Sales are held in all the shopping centers of the Emirates, so you won’t be able to go home without gifts.

Lovers of antiquity should definitely visit the ethnographic "Heritage Village" and the Ajman Museum, located in the ancient fort. Here are exhibits that are over 4000 years old. Also, interesting excursions are organized to the Great Mosque, which is considered the largest in the world.

But this is not all the entertainment awaiting travelers in March. Traditionally, this month is the Festival of Culture and Arts (Abu Dhabi Festival) and one of the most severe rallies - Desert Challenge. According to riders, the difficulty of passing the sand dunes of the Morib desert is much higher than in Dakar.

Tourists are also interested in the Taste of Dubai gastronomic festival, which takes place in March. In the amphitheater of the business center "Dubai Media City" the best restaurants of the city exhibit their dishes and drinks, and visitors become tasters and judges.

  • Weather: air temperature - 25-32 0 C, water - 23-27 0 C.
  • The cost of travel: from 1000 to 1500 dollars for a weekly stay of 1 person (depending on the number of "stars" of the hotel).

March in Ancient Ceylon is perhaps the most suitable month for a beach holiday. On the one hand, the thermometer does not yet rise to the exhausting 33-34 0 С, on the other hand, the rainy season is ending. Several downpours lasting 15-30 minutes do not displease those who like to soak up the sun and bring the expected coolness. In addition, they take place mainly at night.

Each resort in Sri Lanka has its own characteristics that will have to be taken into account. For example, Nilaveli is more suitable for travelers with children - there are no strong waves and it is rather shallow. Fans of exploring the underwater world of the Indian Ocean are advised to pay attention to Hikkaduwa, proudly bearing the title of "coral reserve". For those who prefer to dive in deserted places, Batticaloa and Trinco are suitable.

In addition to water activities, there is another way to have fun in Sri Lanka. In the residence of King Kassapa on the top of the mountain is one of the first fountains in the world. Remarkably, it still works.

On a small plateau known as Adam's Peak, there is an amazing place that is equally revered by Christians, Buddhists, Hindus and Muslims. Thousands of believers and just curious from different countries come here to admire the footprint of Adam, Buddha, Shiva, Jesus (depending on which religion they follow).

It is impossible to visit Sri Lanka and not visit the Yala National Park. Previously, this place was a hunting ground for wealthy British colonists. And today the population of rare Ceylon leopards has become the pride of the park.

The Elephant Orphanage in Pinavella, the Spice Garden and tea plantations near Nuwara Eliya, the cultural center of Kandy, the Royal Botanical Garden in Piradeniya - the list of Ceylon attractions is quite extensive.

The first month of spring in Mexico is characterized by changeable weather. For several days, the heat can rise to 30 degrees, and then a sharp drop in temperature to 17-18 degrees begins. For those who choose a resort on the Caribbean Sea, the water temperature will be 2-3 degrees higher than for vacationers on the Pacific coast.

But this even has its advantages. When the weather is not conducive to a beach holiday, you can go on excursions inland and explore local attractions, and there are quite a few of them in the country.

The ruins of the city of Tulun - one of the monuments reminiscent of the Mayan Indians, is located on the Yucatan Peninsula. And 50 km from the Riviera Maya is the Shel-Ha National Park with stunning views of the Caribbean Sea. You can see the Museum of Underwater Figures in Cancun, and the Island of Dead Dolls in the famous Xochimilco district of Mexico City. An unusual excursion deep into the Coscomate volcano is offered to tourists in Puebla.

Fans of more modern attractions should visit the Tijuana Cultural Center and the Plaza de Toros Arena, where the legendary Mexican bullfights take place, dating back to the time of Hernan Cortes.

But, of course, where all the guests of Mexico strive to go, the ancient Mayan city of Chichen Itza is considered. To visit the Yucatan Peninsula and not see one of the 7 wonders of the world is simply an unforgivable mistake. Many buildings and pyramids have survived to this day, such as the most famous 24-meter temple of Kukulkan. The archaeologists were especially surprised by 7 fields for playing ball. So the Mayans also played football?

If your vacation fell on the first spring month, then the South coast of Vietnam is suitable for a seaside holiday. In the north it is still quite cool for swimming. The most popular with tourists are Mui Ne and Nha Trang. This is the golden mean between the moderately warm center and the sultry Ho Chi Minh City, Vung Tau and Phan Thiet.

The thousand-year history of the country will not let you get bored, in between vacations on the sea coast you can visit many sights of Vietnam, and the unique flora and fauna and bewitching landscapes will bring a touch of positive. The Mekong River Delta, like a magnet, attracts travelers with its exotic nature. Take a trip on a rented junk and see the houseboats of local residents, go on a tour of Ho Chi Minh City or visit a coconut candy factory - all this will take at least 3 days.

The unusual design and striking architecture of Khai Dinh's tomb in Hue more than compensate for its small size. Here rests the emperor, who gave his life for the independence and prosperity of the state. Cham temple towers on Mount Ku Lao in Nha Trang look quite modern (despite the fact that they have a 1000-year history).

Speaking of holidays in Nha Trang, one cannot help but recall the unique Monkey Island - according to scientists, there are more than 2000 of them. At first, there was a nursery on the island where primates were bred for subsequent sale to other countries. After it closed, the monkeys became the full owners of the island. They are quite friendly and are not even afraid to take a treat from the hands of vacationers.

You can find yourself in a civilized exotic in March in Indonesia. It’s hard to call such a budget vacation, but it’s worth it - the cleanest beaches with black volcanic sand, national parks and majestic palaces, rainforests and unique landscapes will remain in the memory of the tourist for a long time.

In March, the rainy season just ends, so nothing can stop you from getting an even tan and plenty of swimming. Each of the islands has its own characteristics. For example, Bali is more suitable for surfing and beach holidays, where there are a lot of Russian-speaking people and well-developed infrastructure. For wide beaches and exotic landscapes, they go to Sumatra. For nightlife and partying, head to Kuta and Seminyak. In Borneo, you will be able to get acquainted with the traditions and way of life of the natives, the island of Java attracts with a large number of ancient Buddhist temples, and North Sulawesi is considered a paradise for divers.

The Monkey Forest is located on the island of Bali. Residents treat these animals with great trepidation, so the monkeys feel completely safe and gladly take treats from the hands of tourists. It is believed that they guard a small Hindu temple located deep in the forest. Here, in Bali, you can visit the Cave bats, and Banyar hot springs will give spiritual and bodily cleansing.

You should definitely see the pride of the locals - Jati Luvi Rice Terraces. Indonesians see culture as a gift higher powers and continue to cultivate it in the same way as 100 years ago, without the use of modern technologies. The palace complex of Tirtagangga is a harmonious combination of water pools and sculptural ensembles, and the three-level palace itself is a symbol of the Universe.

Beach resorts on the shores of the Gulf of Thailand in the Khmer kingdom are not yet as popular among Russians as holidays in Thailand or Vietnam. The tourist infrastructure of Cambodia is only at the beginning of its development. And this has its pros and cons. Undeveloped infrastructure can be attributed to disadvantages, but the seclusion of resorts is an advantage. There are not a huge number of tourists here, those who are tired of the bustle of megacities and are looking for peace and quiet come here. The prices are very affordable as well.

You will be able to relax on the sea in Cambodia in the small town of Kep. It used to be one of the main resorts in the country, but lost out in competition with the more developed Sihanoukville. However, in recent years, Kep began to regain his positions again. If we talk specifically about a beach holiday, this is an ideal place with volcanic black sand and clear water. But the cultural program let us down. In addition to the crab monument and the embankment, there is nothing to see here.

Yes, and Sihanoukville is not able to boast of any special sights - after all, it was built in the middle of the last century, so there are no architectural monuments and ancient palaces to be found here. The main entertainment that the main resort of Cambodia can offer tourists is visiting nightclubs and discos. Unlike Kep, the beaches here are dirty, just like the water itself. The only place where you can soak up the clean sand is Sokha Beach, but only Sokha Beach Resort guests are allowed to enter it.

Diving enthusiasts go to Koh Tan Island, and couples in love make a romantic trip to Koh Rong Island, which has a small heart-shaped bay and a white sandy beach.

  • Weather: air temperature - 30-34 0 C, water - about 30 0 C.
  • Cost of living: a week tour for two in a 5-star all-inclusive hotel - from 80 thousand rubles.

For a holiday in the Seychelles, the end of the first spring month is more suitable. At this time, the sea is already calmer, and it does not rain so often. Unique place, which there are not so many left on our planet thanks to the active and destructive activity of man, is most suitable for those who are tired of the hustle and bustle and are looking for peace and solitude with nature. Of the 115 Seychelles, only 30 are inhabited, so you will not meet noisy crowds of vacationers and intrusive locals here.

Newlyweds, divers from all over the world and yachting fans aspire to get here. Prices for accommodation in the "paradise", of course, are high, but the sensations from the rest are unforgettable. The only city in the usual sense of the word is the capital of Victoria on the island of Mahe, so in search of sights you should go here. Classic English architecture of cozy streets, a mini-replica of Big Ben and a miniature, toy-like St. Paul's Cathedral are in the center. Hotels with different numbers of stars are located along the coastline, the best ones are on the first line, 2-star hotels are a little further.

Each island of the Seychelles is a unique nature reserve with its own zest. For example, on Praslin Island, you can see gigantic endemic coconuts, shaped like a human heart. And on the island of La Digue, the tourist will be struck by the grandeur of the huge mountain Eagle's Nest.

A small state, washed on all sides by the Indian Ocean and part of the Mascarene archipelago, is an ideal place for a March holiday. The air temperature is not yet prohibitive, and tropical showers, although frequent, are short-lived. They are replaced by blue skies and dazzling sun. And this applies to all resorts in Mauritius. But even an increase in temperature to 32 degrees is easily tolerated due to low humidity.

The advantages are the ideal cleanliness of the beaches and comfortable quiet lagoons. Here you can go water skiing on the calm expanse of the Indian Ocean, make an exciting paragliding trip, go down to the depths and get to know their inhabitants.

There are also cultural attractions. Among the most interesting are the Pamplemousses Botanical Gardens, Chamarel Falls, Black River National Park, Mauritius Blue Museum, Phra That Phanom Temple, St. James Cathedral, Juma Mosque and the Shell Museum.

In March, there is little rain in the Dominican Republic and a comfortable temperature for a beach holiday. The main flow of tourists is from Canada and the USA, but you can also meet our compatriots. Secluded beaches under majestic palm trees, the clearest waters of the Caribbean Sea and the rich underwater world attract not only beach lovers, but also divers.

Punta Cana is chosen by families with small children. A well-groomed beach, a developed infrastructure of 5-star hotels and the famous fish restaurants of the Dominican Republic can be found here. Windsurfers and outdoor enthusiasts prefer Puerto Plato, while Boca Chica beaches are preferred by those who come to retire and forget about the crazy pace of modern life in the metropolis. If you plan to visit the capital often, we advise you to choose Juan Dolio, and if you want to see with your own eyes the resort that Donald Trump had a hand in developing, then you are in Cap Cana.

Cultural holidays in the Dominican Republic are also interesting and varied. If you want to see what the Columbus Lighthouse looks like, come to Santo Domingo, get acquainted with the architecture of Altos de Chavon (city of artists) - in La Romana. In addition to historical monuments, there are also natural attractions. For example, the Armando-Bermudez National Park or the city of Jarabacoa waterfalls, the salt lake Lago Enriquillo with huge crocodiles and the unique Three Eyes caves that go 15 m deep into the earth.

Jordan

If you want to visit Jordan in March and at the same time swim in the Red Sea, we recommend choosing Aqaba. This is a young resort, where there are both sandy and rocky beaches with coral reefs. The only drawback that tourists note is the sharp changes in night and day temperatures. But this is quite understandable due to the location of Jordan in the middle of the desert. The water in the sea is not fresh milk, but still quite comfortable - about 22 degrees.

March is the last month when diving into sea ​​depths of interest. In early April, plankton blooms begin, and visibility drops to 10-15 meters. The cultural program even in such a small Aqaba is rich and varied. Journey to the Wadi Rum desert, visiting the archaeological museum and marine park, excursions to the rock of the Seven Pillars and the ruins of the ancient city of Islay will leave a lot of positive memories. We advise fans of the underwater kingdom to see the reef of King Abdullah and the sunken ship Cedar Pride. And after spending only 2 hours, the tourist will be able to see the ancient city of Petra, carved into the rock and included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The capital of the Nabataean kingdom will probably be the strongest impression left after visiting Jordan.

Summing up

Rest on the sea coast in March is not a dream, but a reality. Thanks to the unique climate of our planet, you can swim in the sea and sunbathe in the sun at any time of the year. True, sometimes this will have to make a long journey.

But if you supplement your vacation with cultural leisure, then the trip will remain in your memory for a lifetime and give only positive impressions to the whole family.

The winter has passed, but the cold has not. Quite a common situation. I want the sun, heat, and indeed - the sea would be. It is for those who are going to meet spring on the coast, we have compiled a list best countries for a beach holiday in .

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a win-win option for those who want to spend time away from the hustle and bustle, closer to the sea and nature.

It is unlikely that there is a more “slow” country in the world than Sri Lanka: here no one is in a hurry, everyone enjoys life. Picnics, fishing and, of course, relaxed relaxation on the coast are usually preferred to a noisy party on the island.

Vietnam is ready to please its guests with many diverse entertainments: from elephant riding, visits to snake restaurants with crocodile sanctuaries, national parks and fishing to casinos and nightclubs. The partisan tunnels of Ku-Chi are considered the highlight of the country's excursion program, but besides them, there are more than enough sights here.

The Halong Bay National Park has some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet. Several thousand small limestone islands and cliffs rising from the sea waters and having a bizarre shape make us believe in the legend of this place.

But the Dead Sea is still the warmest, at the end of the month the water temperature in it reaches 25 ° C, thereby comparing with the air temperature.

Where to go

The most popular beach resorts on the Mediterranean are Tel Aviv, Netanya and Herzliya. The entire coast is sandy, almost everywhere there are sunbeds, umbrellas and eateries. However, private beaches in Israel are a rarity; only the most expensive hotels can afford this.

The beaches of Tel Aviv are inhabited mainly by young people. There are many bars, discos, foam parties and wet T-shirt contests. Herzliya is a respectable resort designed for wealthy tourists. There are many luxurious hotels, restaurants and a peaceful atmosphere. Just as quiet and calm, but much cheaper - in Netanya - this place is great for family relaxation with small children.

Not far from it, on an artificial island, stands the world's tallest statue of the goddess Guanyin, and in the sanctuary - a dozen sculptures of the Buddha himself.

Egypt

The country, which still will not be opened for organized tours, the Russians still cannot forget. Egypt has many fans. Even now, some people prefer to travel by regular flights, but do not change their favorite Red Sea resorts.

Such love is understandable. In the cold season, it really was the most budget vacation. Of course, there were complaints about the service, but all the inconveniences were compensated by the excellent price, all-inclusive meals and a good choice of hotels. The language barrier in Egypt is also quite conditional.

You can get to it faster than to other exotic resorts. Even if there is no vacation, you can go on the weekend, for example, on March 8th. If you fly there on March 5, you will get an excellent mini-vacation at sea.

True, March is not the most best time for recreation in this region: in the evenings it is noticeably cool, in addition, there are often sandstorms. But the daytime temperature is quite comfortable, you can perfectly swim, sunbathe and enjoy seafood.

Thailand

This country has long been chosen by thousands of Russian tourists.

The main advantage can be called an acceptable cost: now, among the winter destinations, this is perhaps the most budgetary place.

Only India can be called an affordable alternative, but you cannot get there without first obtaining a visa or at least electronic permission. .

However, apart from the price, Thailand has something to surprise and please tourists:

March is a very good time to visit this country. This time ends tourist season and prices are starting to fall, but there are no tropical rains yet. The sea in Thailand is always warm, so this is a great place to relax with children. In addition, in March you can get to the Kite Festival, which takes place throughout the country.

The country is roughly in the same price category as Thailand. Vietnam is preferred by lovers to relax quietly, as well as families with children. Fans of water sports should also fly here, for example, in the resort of Nha Trang - excellent diving.

Even if there is no suitable group tour for the price, it is quite possible to visit the country on your own.

Arriving in this country, you can visit:

  • Ancient architectural structures.
  • Garden of Ho Chi Minh.
  • The old part of Hanoi.
  • Palace of Independence.
  • Resort Dalat.

  5. Poor road quality.

Maldives

This country cannot be called a budget holiday option, but it is worth the money spent. Such a turquoise sea and the palm trees leaning over it from the Bounty advertisement cannot be found anywhere else.

But this beautiful place for a romantic getaway, and SPA centers at local hotels are considered among the best in the world.

Bali Island (Indonesia)

This exotic place is a real oasis of peace. There is beautiful nature, friendly locals and the endless ocean. Spring is a good time to visit the country, but you need to take into account some of the nuances.

Mexico

This amazing country now available for Russian tourists. Previously, it was required for the Russians, and it was very difficult to issue it, which was insisted on by a rich and influential neighbor represented by the United States.

Now, for Russians and Ukrainians, it is enough to fill out a simple questionnaire on the consulate website and receive an electronic entry permit online within 24 hours. It is issued for up to 180 days.

It's really worth a trip to Mexico. The beaches there are gorgeous, it is no coincidence that the country like a magnet attracts tens of thousands of tourists from all over the world. The most famous resort is Cancun. Nearby are smaller tourist towns - Tulum and Playa del Carmen.

The water in this place of the Caribbean is an unreal color, and the sand is fine and white as powdered sugar.

The only, but significant minus for a Russian tourist is high prices. The proximity of the United States makes itself felt, so there is nothing to think about living in Cancun on a budget, unlike, say, Southeast Asia. A double room in a three-star hotel will cost about $100, about the same as dinner in a restaurant.

You can save money only if you stay not in the tourist part of the city, but in the one where the Mexicans themselves live. True, you will have to go to the beach by bus or taxi.

For a more sophisticated getaway, welcome to Mexico's Pacific Coast. The well-known resorts of Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta have long been chosen by bohemians, who treat the motley resort public of Cancun with some disdain. The beaches here are inferior to the Atlantic ones, but it is the atmosphere of this region that attracts many.

Another option for a beach holiday, unknown to Russian tourists, is the Gulf of Mexico. The water in it does not have such an azure color as in Cancun, but it is just as clean, and the sand is no less snow-white. Mexicans themselves rest here, plus a small percentage of informed Europeans.

In the resort town of Progresso, which is located on the bay, there are many inexpensive apartments for rent and beautiful houses of well-to-do Mexicans. It is best to eat in coastal restaurants "palapas" under thatched roofs. Fresh seafood here is three times cheaper than in Cancun.

Of course, it's rather strange to come to Mexico and not visit anywhere but the beach. No matter how good it is at sea, there is still a very colorful Mexico City, unique Mayan and Aztec pyramids, Indian markets where you can buy souvenirs for a penny ... In general, it’s hard to say what Mexico doesn’t have.
