For many, winter recreation is skiing, sightseeing and drinking tea with friends. But often, when it's cold and snowy outside, you want to get to a place where it's always warm and sunny. Today they are available to many residents of Russia all year round.

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

There are also noteworthy sights in the country: a floating market with a variety of goods from the East; the largest and oldest monastery, Wat Pho; Royal Palace, surrounded by temples, and much more. The main advantage of a holiday in this country in February is the celebration of the Chinese New Year. At this time, Thailand is immersed in an atmosphere of joy and kindness. Another celebration that you can get to at the beginning of the month is the festival of flowers. It takes place in Chiang Mai on the seashore.

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

The only drawback of traveling to Thailand in February is the relative high cost and the influx of tourists. Rest for two without the All Inclusive service will cost at least 75000 rubles. Entertainment in the country is also not cheap, this should be taken into account when planning your leisure time.

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

Those who want to spend more time on walks, and not on evening parties, should visit Sharjah. This is a city that is completely immersed in greenery. Parks and squares, beautiful views of the sea, exotic animals - all this awaits tourists in the town that is still growing along the coast.

Of the minuses of holidays in the Emirates in February, only the cool sea can be noted, although the air temperature is kept at a comfortable level of 26 degrees. At night, it is worth thinking about warm clothes. A pleasant compensation for the inability to swim in the sea is the cost of tours, mainly last-minute tours are offered from 22000 rubles per person on an All Inclusive basis.

In the UAE, many people go not only for a beautiful tan, but also for shopping. In February, the Emirates Trade Festival takes place, after which many interesting gizmos remain in stores at very attractive prices. (Al-Fahidi, Bollywood Parks, etc.) is the main goal of many tourists. Although, in addition to them, the Emirates have a lot of interesting places worthy of the attention of guests of the country.

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

Shaviani Atoll is suitable for those tourists who want to spend their time in a fun and pleasant way. Here you can enjoy all the benefits of civilization, buy a lot of interesting gizmos and go on excursions, looking at the sights of the islands.

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

Important: Do not try to find alcohol in stores. With this on the islands is extremely strict. And for trying to break off a piece of coral for memory, a large fine is provided.

Unsurpassed nature, amazing cuisine, the best service and the absence of crime are worthy of the price voiced by tour operators. A weekly visit to the Maldives in February for 2 people on the All Inclusive system will cost 210000 rubles(according to the most conservative estimates).

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

Guests are invited to visit many attractions: Dudhsagar waterfall, where you can meet with a real bison; Fontaines quarter with its majestic temples; the Portuguese fort of Aguada; a flea market in Anjuna, where you can buy all sorts of souvenirs and many useful things; spice plantations, etc.

Holidays in this Indian state can only bring positive emotions. And the cost of tours in February will pleasantly surprise you. The All Inclusive system for 2 persons will cost an average of 80000 rubles. You can also buy a last-minute tour, which will cost 17-20% cheaper. If your plans include visiting local stores, then you should stock up on finances, since the variety of unique goods will not leave anyone indifferent.

February in Bali is a month full of surprises. Even weather forecasters cannot predict weather conditions, so it is worth taking note of the fact that at the end of winter the island is dominated by wet weather, and rains are the rule rather than the exception. But the air temperature is kept at very comfortable levels - not lower than 29 degrees. The water in the sea is also quite warm - 28 degrees. Therefore, the beaches do not suffer from a shortage of tourists who catch beautiful hours of sunshine between rains.

At a time not suitable for beach sunbathing, you can enjoy the sights of Bali, visit the thermal springs, look at the numerous festive events and taste the national cuisine. Do not forget about the exotic atmosphere of this place. Attention guests are offered: Elephant Park; Reptile Park; climbing to the top of Batur volcano; inspection of rice fields. If the weather is completely unsuitable for walking, you should not despair. Numerous boutiques and small shops, beauty salons and establishments with local cuisine, spa centers and disco bars - all this will not let even the most active tourists get bored.

Despite the fact that February is considered a stalemate in terms of the influx of tourists to Bali, the cost of the trip is quite impressive. "All inclusive" for two for 7-12 days will cost at least 120000 rubles. But this amount is quite justified for those who want to escape from the February cold and get a lot of positive emotions.

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

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

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

The only not so pleasant moment for those who decide to spend their winter holidays in Cuba will be the cost of the tour. Without the All Inclusive service, the price for accommodation and flights is within 170000 rubles for two people.

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

Mexico in February promises tourists a varied leisure experience full of impressions. Fans of beach treatments have the opportunity to swim and get a luxurious tan, avid divers - to see the wonders of the underwater world, inquisitive travelers - to explore the pyramids and ancient temples.

Hotels and beaches of the country are equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay, temporary "residents" of Mexico can visit a lot of local shops and boutiques, various exhibitions and museums, and relax in spas. Do not forget about the traditional cuisine - chimichangas, burritos, enchiladas, tortillas and much more.

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

"All inclusive" will cost our citizens 190000 rubles for two. And that's the only bad thing. Although the cost of the trip is fully justified by the level of service, the beauty of the area and the availability of entertainment.

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

The country's tourist resources can also be called limitless, since all the sights and interesting places to see cannot even be listed. The most popular of them are: the Forbidden City, the Great Wall of China, the Temple of Heaven, the Terracotta Army, etc. Entertainment is also varied - all kinds of attractions, parks with exotic animals and plants, water parks and shops with national items and things.

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

If we talk about the cost of the trip, then it can also pleasantly surprise you. Tours are available 60000 rubles, they include only flight and hotel accommodation for two. If the availability of breakfasts and lunches is important, then the price of a tour for two increases to 100,000 rubles.

You can also escape from the frosty February days to the Dominican Republic, where at this time the water of the Caribbean Sea warms up to 28 degrees, and the air to 30. Even extremely rare rains will not be able to overshadow the rest of tourists, since they are short-lived. At the end of winter, the state begins to “grow” with those who want to enjoy the warmth, sun and various entertainments. Therefore, you should not count on a secluded vacation and an abundance of free places in hotels. When planning your trip to the island, you need to purchase a tour in advance.

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

In Santo Domingo, it is recommended to go to see the monuments, ancient ruins and colonial-style buildings. Punta Cana will allow you to combine viewing of architectural structures and natural relics. Despite the influx of tourists, the cost of tours is kept at around 130000 rubles with the service "All inclusive" for two.

The slush and frosty days of Russia can be easily replaced by the sun and heat in Asia. February in Cambodia is the driest and extremely warm - the air temperature does not fall below 30 degrees. Guests of the country can swim in plenty in the gentle and calm sea, get an unprecedented tan and spend time with interest. In addition to a beach holiday, tourists are offered exciting fishing and extreme sports.

Arriving in Cambodia in February, you can get into a series of large-scale holidays, which are distinguished by enchantment and duration. It doesn’t hurt to try the local cuisine. During the celebrations, the inhabitants of the country prepare the most delicious dishes, which they treat with pleasure to all guests of the country.

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

To see the sights, you have to travel around many cities. But this does not stop tourists who want to join the Asian culture and study its history better. Killing Fields, Wat Phnom Temple, Tole Sleng Genocide Museum, Royal Palace, Angkor Wat - this is just a small part of what can be seen in Cambodia. The cost of a weekly tour is from 80000 rubles for two.

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

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

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

Regarding the high cost of a vacation, we can say the following: on average, a flight and accommodation for two will cost 90000 rubles, with meals the price can increase by 50%. But this money is fully justified, since you will not get so many emotions at the end of winter anywhere else.

Seychelles

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

Hotels in this resort town are quite expensive, but fully comply with all accepted standards. In February, they always have a lot of free places, so the guests of the country have the opportunity to move away from the usual hustle and bustle of overcrowded hotels. The beaches in the Seychelles are also fully prepared to receive their guests. Just do not forget about the possible "raids" of rain - clouds tend to appear from nowhere and disappear into nowhere. But this does not overshadow the rest. After abundant water procedures, the greenery of the islands begins to reveal all its beauty.

The cost of a trip to a wonderful country with a warm and pleasant climate will cost at least 90000 rubles for two. But this amount is nothing compared to the emotions that you can get on the islands.

Summing up

Winter cold, wind and sleet - all this can make anyone depressed. Therefore, it is sometimes worth breaking out in the middle of winter to warm countries, where there is only sea, sun and adventure. Fortunately, there are a lot of directions where you can safely go.

So that nothing overshadows the February vacation, it does not hurt. After all, even unpaid traffic police fines can be a reason to postpone vacation indefinitely.
