In winter, you also want to go to the sea. Fortunately, this is not a problem because, in some countries, it is a great time for the beach season. MyTravelingClub has selected the 5 best destinations for January–February 2024.
However, it should be remembered that a dangerous strain of coronavirus, Omicron, is currently spreading around the world. Therefore, many countries still have quarantine restrictions. You can familiarize yourself with the current information using the interactive map of the Consular Service.
Tanzania
An interesting tourist destination is especially popular in the winter. The paradise island of Zanzibar attracts the most tourists. It is very warm here in January and February. The air temperature reaches 30 degrees, and the water warms up to 28. In addition, there are many historical locations that you can look at at your leisure.
The biggest advantage of vacationing in Tanzania is its relatively low prices. At the same time, the country’s islands are famous for their incredible beaches and landscapes. But the kitchen here is quite mediocre. Finding something tasty and interesting is very difficult. It is mainly made from rice, seafood, and legumes.
Maldives
A luxury vacation should be spent in the Maldives. This is the best place for a calm and measured rest on the white sand under the palm trees. At the same time, the level of service here is impressive, but the prices are also appropriate. Of course, you can save a lot if you don’t buy a ready-made tour but arrange everything yourself.
The only important minus is the number of tourists. At the beginning of January, there were many people here who came to spend holidays on the islands. And in February, many couples want to get married in the Maldives on Valentine’s Day. After these dates, you have a great opportunity to relax in luxury and on a moderate budget.
Cuba
The bright Cuban winter will surprise any foreigner. Moreover, the country can boast of a comfortable temperature in January and February. The air warms up to 25 degrees, and the water even up to 26. The ocean coast at this time is practically free of tourists, and hotel prices are much lower than usual.
In addition, there are many entertainments in Cuba that will make your vacation even more interesting. Among the best are clubs with fiery dances and numerous pubs. However, be careful; drunk tourists often become victims of robbers.
Dominican Republic
January–February is the peak season in the Dominican Republic. At this time, almost all hotels operate under the all-inclusive system, and dozens of tourist restaurants and entertainment venues are opening. During the day, the air temperature rises to 30 degrees. But due to the slight wind, the heat is not so exhausting.
But there are also disadvantages. It is during this period that the country’s resorts are sky-high. And if at other times there are options for budget vacations, then in winter it is almost impossible to find an inexpensive hotel.
Mexico
This country is most often chosen by residents of the USA and Canada for vacation. That’s why the prices here are calculated specifically for them. And this is much more expensive than a standard holiday in Egypt or Turkey. But those who have vacationed in Mexico say that it is worth it.
Beautiful beaches, a wide selection of excursions and entertainment, as well as a high level of service, make the resort desirable for many tourists. However, it is very hot here in January and February. Although the thermometer shows 28–30 degrees, they feel like they are all 40. There is almost no wind, and even in the shade, you cannot hide from the scorching sun.
