Vacation in January. Where to relax with children on winter holidays

January is not only the month of receiving New Year's gifts and mass festivities around the Christmas tree, it is also the month that makes it possible to forget about warm jackets and fur boots at least a little, replacing them with bright swimsuits and slippers. After all, if you add a couple of weeks of January vacation to the New Year's weekend, you get about three weeks of free time from work. So why not spend this time in some warm country? Moreover, you can find such a place, where inexpensive vacation in January 2017 will be provided. The main thing is to take care of finding such a place in advance.

When you think about where you can inexpensively relax in the winter, then Egypt immediately comes to mind. Which is not surprising, because the Egyptian sun shines all year round, the water in the sea is warm enough, and the sights can be seen around the clock. But the biggest advantage of the New Year's holiday spent here is the absence of visa formalities for Russians and short, therefore cheap, (a few photos on the plane above the clouds and you can put your jacket in your bag). Therefore, tickets to Egypt can be bought only in early December (and then, if you try).

Also, when looking for a place, where it will be possible to beach holiday January cheap 2017, many travel agencies recommend paying attention to Thailand. Indeed, in winter it is very warm here, which allows you to forget about Russian frosts and enjoy exotic fruits, lying on a gorgeous sandy shore. A winter holiday in Thailand gives every tourist the opportunity to see a fairy tale in reality, and the picturesque nature, unusual food and Thai service make the trip simply unforgettable. For a beach holiday, Phuket or Pattaya are most suitable, although you need to remember that these are crowded places, so the beaches here are not the cleanest. Therefore, for those who want to really swim in clean water and lie down on a snow-white beach, it is better to choose a vacation on the Thai islands, which, as a rule, are only half an hour away by sea.

Holidays in India will not be the most expensive, in particular in its very center - in Goa. Yes, you will have to spend money on a flight, but everything else will be cheap, and the beaches here are simply unforgettable. 110 kilometers of pure sand, which is washed by the gentle waters of the ocean, will not leave anyone indifferent. Here everyone will find something for themselves: fishing, diving, surfing and much more. The main thing is to remember that under such a request as a vacation in January 2017 is inexpensive, only North Goa is suitable, where, as a rule, young people “without money” rest. Budget hotels, noisy beaches, simple food and a lot of affordable alcohol - this is what North Goya tourists remember. Those who want something quieter should go to the south side of this resort, only they will charge a little more for living here.

Thinking about where to go on vacation in January 2017 inexpensively, you need to pay attention to those places where you can go skiing or improve your health a little (not everyone dreams of a vacation in warm countries). And you don't have to travel very far to do it. For example, as a place for a January holiday, you can consider such an option as the Moscow region. Some may think that a vacation in the Moscow region can not be compared with a vacation in Turkey or Thailand.

But the fact is that it is not necessary to compare it with anything, because such a vacation will have a lot of its advantages. Firstly, you won’t have to fly anywhere, which means that you won’t have to worry about preparing documents either. Secondly, the absence of an acclimatization period will allow you to start relaxing immediately after checking into a hotel or sanatorium. Well, thirdly, vacation in January 2017 inexpensively in the suburbs can be "found" in any boarding house. And boarding houses are located here in almost every village: Gzhel, Fedoskino, Zhostovo, Bogorodskoye and so on.

So, for example, in Zhostovo you can see the famous Zhostovo factory, which produces magnificent painted trays (however, you will have to spend at least five hours on a tour of this factory), and in Fedoskino you can get acquainted with interesting history lacquer miniatures and buy a couple of souvenir boxes.

In addition to all this, in the suburbs you can go skiing, and, importantly, to do it quite inexpensively. The recreation area "Bitsa" offers several ski slopes and slides that will appeal to both beginners and professionals. And Wohlen is a ski resort located 40 km from Moscow, in general, some tourists call it “mini Switzerland”.

But there are those who like to lie on the sand near the sea and sunbathe in winter. Surprised? Yes, there is a vacation in the winter at the sea abroad where it is warm and inexpensive, and in 2019. And we will tell you about countries where winter is hotter than our summer. Let's start looking at the TOP countries.

Mostly in winter, tourists prefer to fly to countries South-East Asia. Here we will tell you about them, as well as about some other countries.

Cambodia is very cheap, but a vacation for four with a minus.
If you do not need an all-inclusive system, and you are not very picky about hotels, then choose Cambodia.


This country is beautiful, but it is not beautiful with buildings or anything else, but beautiful with nature. Here, almost everything is untouched by man, there are few buildings that cause delight, but then there are beautiful beaches, chic parks and jungles.
Vacationing in Cambodia is very cheap. The country is poor, and it is difficult to find a decent job here. Therefore, for every ruble there is a “war”, and tourists are lured with a variety of “buns”.
Concerning weather conditions, then exactly in winter months Cambodia has dry and hot weather. The waters in the ocean warm up to comfortable temperatures, and tourists prefer to spend time on the beaches, rather than in the room or in the cities.

Philippines - also cheap, but more comfortable.
Snow-white beaches, luxury hotels and a completely different culture - all this is the Philippines and its resorts.


Holidays in an amazing country is becoming popular. The cost of living in hotels is not so cosmic, and food prices are sometimes very low. people come here for a beach holiday, as well as just to admire the beautiful and clean country. why clean? it’s just that in the country there are such laws about garbage that you won’t be able to throw a napkin or a cigarette butt on the street. it will be more accurate, but for this case you will be fined and deported from the country, and possibly a prison term!
But let's not talk about the bad, let's talk about the beaches. local beaches, as already mentioned, completely white. Pure white sand everywhere and even in the water. Diving enthusiasts come here from all over the world to dive underwater and enjoy the underwater views and depths. But most simply prefer to soak up the sun and swim in the warm waters of the ocean.
In winter, the air temperature in the Philippines is above +29 degrees. The water is warmed up to +26 degrees and is very comfortable for swimming. So when going on vacation to this country, it is best to buy a tour in advance in order to book a room and not be left with nothing.

Vietnam and Nha Trang - low prices, high quality.
The resorts of Vietnam, and in particular Nha Trang, are becoming popular among our tourists. And there is a simple explanation for this - the prices for holidays here are almost the same as in Turkey, and the quality is getting better every year.


Nha Trang is chosen by tourists from all over the world. After all, there are amazing attractions and entertainment. People come here to truly understand what rest is and how to relax properly.
Beautiful sandy beaches, luxury hotels and a lot of entertainment, that's what attracts tourists. They rest here with children, because hotels own water parks, children's attractions and animators. Children like it, and adults calmly sunbathe and swim on the beach.

Dubai is a fairy tale that has become a reality.
For many, Dubai is associated with luxury and expensive holidays, but in fact it is not.


Dubai is open to everyone, and tourists with any budget fly here. After all, if you fly only for the sake of relaxing on the beach, then the prices will pleasantly surprise you. For example, a ten-day vacation will cost you a little more than you pay for Turkey. And do not be surprised, the UAE authorities just want as many tourists as possible to fly into the country. They even have a government program that the country follows. After all, oil reserves are not unlimited, and the country has relied on tourists, and seeks to acquaint its country with millions of tourists.
White beaches, beautiful and tall hotels, incredible buildings that are called the new wonders of the world - all this is Dubai. You can swim in the waters of the Persian Gulf, where ships with silks and jewels used to go to the most famous oriental bazaars.
Even the cheapest hotels have a lot of everything: a bed, a shower and toilet, a sofa, a TV, a telephone, a bar and a safe. This is a standard set that is not available to tourists in Turkey in cheap hotels.
Also, hotels own their pools, including on the roof of the building. There are tennis courts, golf courses and parks for recreation. Vacationing in Dubai is a wonderful time that you will never forget.

UAE

Shopping, shopping and more shopping, not just the beach! It is for those who like to take a walk through the bright oriental shops and modern shopping malls. The only negative in choosing such a holiday is that you will have to drink alcohol and flaunt in revealing outfits only on the territory of the hotel: the country is Muslim, and they will not understand free customs here. Everything else is at the highest level: the weather is beautiful, the sea is warm, the hotels are comfortable, the service is at the European level. The air in January warms up to +25...+27 °C, and the sea up to +20 °C.

India

Yes, getting to this fabulous country is incomparably longer than to the usual Egypt. But maybe it is worth spending these hours with benefit and, as a result, getting an unforgettable vacation? Prices in Goa in January are quite reasonable: a week-long tour will cost 700-800 USD, but memories and impressions will last for a long time. After all, there are no such sunsets as in India anywhere else - the sun does not set, but falls below the horizon, every evening coloring the sky in a new way. Beautiful beaches and Ayurvedic centers await their guests. The air in January here warms up to +28...+30 °C, which means that sunscreen with an increased protection filter should take its rightful place in the suitcase. The sea is also warm - +25...+27 °C, so sea bathing can be long.

Thailand

A ticket to Thailand will cost a little more. On average, you will have to spend about 900 USD on a weekly vacation. The air temperature in January here is about +26...+28 °C, which almost coincides with the water temperature. If you bought a tour to Thailand to combine sightseeing programs and holidays by the sea, then the best choice will be Pattaya. And for those who care more relaxing holiday and a high level of service, it is better to take a closer look at Phuket and Koh Samui. Snow-white beaches and smiling staff, vibrant nature and Thai cuisine will not disappoint even the most discerning tourists.

Kenya

This is the choice of real extreme sportsmen! People go to Kenya for adrenaline and real adventures. Of course, you can sunbathe here, but is it worth it to come to a country where zebras and giraffes, leopards and buffalo roam, pink flamingos and important pelicans - and not see all this splendor? Therefore, you can combine a beach holiday in your tour (the sun does not burn here in January, but warms it) and participation in a real safari, see exotic animals in their natural environment a habitat. Don't forget to bring warm clothes as it gets quite chilly here in the evening.

The cheapest Kenyan tour will cost at least 1500 USD for exotic lovers.
