October is not the best season for a beach holiday. Most Mediterranean resorts are already feeling the breath of winter (it is expressed, however, only in the amount of precipitation). And the popular tourist countries of South Asia are barely getting out of the rainy season.
However, there are still places where the average Russian can accumulate a supply of sunshine vitamin D for the long winter. We have selected for you 15 places to go to rest in October 2018 - from Russia to abroad, from inexpensive to VIP class. Resorts are sorted from most expensive to most budgetary destinations.
The price is based on a seven-day tour in a 4 * hotel.
15. Maldives: Laviani, Raa
Average price: from 157,000 rubles.
Day air temperature: 31°
Air temperature at night: 28°
Water temperature: 29°
October is a chance to try Maldivian resorts for a more or less reasonable price. At this time of the year, the sea is indecently warm, but the wet season can spoil the whole idyll. Sunny and rainy days are roughly equal, but strong winds will pleasantly amaze surfers, and the migration of whales and stingrays taking place just at this time - lovers of wildlife and diving. For a beach holiday, it is best to go in the first half of the month - there are less rains and the wind is not so strong.
14. Dominican Republic: Boca Chica, Puerto Plata, Punta Cana
Average price: from 110,000 rubles.
Day air temperature: 30°
Air temperature at night: 25°
Water temperature: 29°
The best time to travel to the Dominican Republic is October November. The sweltering summer heat along with torrential rains at the end of the month are just beginning to recede. But the sea is as warm as soup - 29 °, and the beaches seem to have left an advertising picture.
If you wish, you can try to go sightseeing. For example, the country's main city, Santo Domingo, is included in the list of world attractions according to UNESCO. And wildlife lovers can enjoy all of its tropical diversity in the country's national parks. However, diving enthusiasts should remember that the sea is still rough at this time of the year, with strong winds and even storms. An additional plus - tourists can visit the Dominican Republic without a visa.
13. Indonesia: Jakarta, Kuta, Ubud
Average price: from 110,000 rubles.
Day air temperature: 29°
Air temperature at night: 22°
Water temperature: 28°
In Indonesia, every tourist will find a place for himself - cheaper, richer, smaller, more, more active, more relaxed. The tourist infrastructure in the country is well developed, only the specific local sand may surprise you a little. Due to the abundance of volcanoes in the past, it has a non-standard black color. However, it is pleasant to walk on it. In addition, Indonesia is simply a very beautiful country with its own culture and architecture that are not familiar to the eye of a European.
12.Spain: Canary Islands, Puerto de Naos
Average price: from 104,000 rubles.
Day air temperature: 26°
Air temperature at night: 19°
Water temperature: 24°
In October, it starts to get colder in Spain. This means that the beach season in the resorts located on the mainland of the country has nothing to count on. Of course, if you do not regularly temper in the ice hole, then yes, the water temperature of 21 ° will not scare you. In October, Spain is only for hiking and sightseeing.
True, there are still places where the sea is warm, and the sun generously floods everything around with its rays - these are the Canary Islands. It doesn't rain there, cold winds come much later. Unless it is impossible to sit in water all day, in the morning and in the evening it is uncomfortable for the human body. But you can also take a dip to cheer up once or twice.
11. Jordan: Aqaba, Dead Sea
Average price: from 100,000 rubles
Day air temperature: 29°
Air temperature at night: 18°
Water temperature: 25 ° or 29 ° in the Dead Sea
The sea in Jordan is not simple - Dead. They go there at any time of the year on vacation regardless of weather conditions for health and spa purposes, and October is no exception. The "usual" sea also pleases with its temperature, and the abundance of interesting places will not let you get bored. It is better to go to the Mediterranean Sea in mid-October - it is still warm during the day, but it starts to get colder at night, so it would be useful to take a couple of warm clothes with you just in case.
10. Cuba: Havana, Masanillo
Average price: from 100,000 rubles
Day air temperature: 29°
Air temperature at night: 23°
Water temperature: 28°
October is the last month of the hot summer season in Cuba. Therefore, white-skinned tourists who have come from northern countries are recommended to use sunscreens. And it's better not to appear on the beach at all from 11 o'clock until evening.
October attracts Cuba mainly with its fishing. It is at this time of the year that fishing for the famous blue marlin is especially good (remember "The Old Man and the Sea"? There it is about this fish). But living conditions in Cuba can remind of the Soviet past, and not the best part of it. Therefore, we especially recommend paying attention to the reviews. Sometimes you can run into such a shed without an air conditioner that even a catch is not able to help you survive the disappointment.
9. Morocco: Marrakesh, Agadir
Average price: from 100,000 rubles
Day air temperature: 26°
Air temperature at night: 17°
Water temperature: 22°
Morocco is a great option for trips that combine swimming in the sea with an excursion program (and there is something to see there). If your goal is to properly fry in the sun and swim in plenty, then it is better to choose another country. The sea in Morocco in October is no longer as hospitable as it used to be. Moreover, there are cheaper options.
But don't be surprised if you suddenly find that all the places in your favorite hotel for the weekend are booked - October in Morocco is a favorite time for surfers. The increased wind creates exactly the kind of waves that tourists from Spain and France follow.
8. Malta: Gozo, Marsakala
Average price: from 72,000 rubles.
Day air temperature: 25°
Air temperature at night: 23°
Water temperature: 24°
Although October is considered autumn in Malta, temperatures are still pleasing to tourists. Not particularly hot, but pleasantly warm temperatures are conducive to long walks, museum trips and sightseeing. And the sea cools down slowly, so you can swim to your heart's content. At night, however, it is already colder, and the sea winds begin to blow, so take a windbreaker with you.
7. Thailand: Patong, Bangkok
Average price: from 70,000 rubles
Day air temperature: 32°
Air temperature at night: 27°
Water temperature: 30°
October is a great opportunity for a cheap trip to Thailand. The rainy season is just ending there, so the vouchers are cheaper than in the high season. True, vacationers will be disturbed from time to time by summer rains, but they are warm and usually not too annoying.
An additional bonus - there are not so many people on the beaches as on New Year's Eve, so you can bask in the sun without colliding with other vacationers when turning your sides.
6. Cyprus: Limassol, Paphos
Average price: from 51,000 rubles
Day air temperature: 26°
Air temperature at night: 20°
Water temperature: 25°
Cyprus is beautiful even in October. The temperature of the water and air is exactly the same, which is optimal for a pleasant beach holiday. It is not too hot, as there is a fresh sea breeze. It is no wonder that October in Cyprus is a hot month for tourism, perhaps even more densely populated than in summer. However, taking a warm jacket or a light windbreaker with you still does not hurt - towards evening the air temperature may seem cool.
There are also other advantages - for example, it is in October that the local all-island festival takes place, where locals look at people and show themselves. Overall, Cyprus is one of the best places to go to the sea in October.
5. UAE: Abu Dhabi, Dubai
Average price: from 50,000 rubles
Day air temperature: 35°
Air temperature at night: 21°
Water temperature: 27°
The heat subsides, and in the best country for retirees young and not so tourists begin to reach out. The air temperature is still high, but not enough to paralyze all daytime tourist activities. You can swim, you can go sightseeing. The only thing that can darken a tourist's vacation in the United Arab Emirates is that October is the month of Muslim fasting, Ramadan. This means no noisy entertainment, shows, and alcoholic drinks in restaurants. Fortunately, these harsh rules do not apply to the unfaithful, who are having fun in hotels just at this time.
4. Tunisia: Djerba, Sousse
Average price: from 40,000 rubles
Day air temperature: 27°
Air temperature at night: 22°
Water temperature: 25°
Autumn in a hot African country is almost invisible. If you don't believe me, take a look at the temperatures reigning there. However, it will not hurt to take a light windbreaker or raincoat with you, since October can show character even in Africa. True, it is expressed in a little warm rain.
Just in October, Tunisia is experiencing a "velvet season" - the heat is not so exhausting, and the sea is still pleasant to the body temperature. An excellent option for traveling with children, especially those leaving the homeland for the first time and are not used to climate changes.
3. Turkey: Side, Belek, Alanya
Average price: from RUB 33,000
Day air temperature: 29°
Air temperature at night: from 13 °
Water temperature: from 22 °
The list of where to go to have a rest in October on the sea would be incomplete without the country, beloved by Russian tourists. Tours to Turkey in October become even cheaper. However, do not rush to rejoice - in most resorts of the country, autumn comes into its own. It can rain, and the sea becomes noticeably colder. And only in the very south of the country conditions for comfortable lying on the beach are still preserved.
First of all, you should pay attention to the resort towns with magnificent sandy beaches - Side, Belek and Alanya. Although the temperature of the water and air is still suitable for a good beach holiday, we recommend that you bring warm clothes with you. It is hot during the day, but in the late evening and at night it becomes already autumnal cool.
2. Egypt: Dahab, Sharm el-Sheikh, Hurghada
Average price: from 30,000 rubles.
Day air temperature: 29°
Air temperature at night: from 19 °
Water temperature: 26°
It is worth going to Egypt at the beginning of the month. And it's not even about the rains and temperatures, but about the school holidays at the end of October. At this time, many parents are in a hurry to take their child out into the sun. And tour operators accordingly increase the price of vouchers.
The weather is not as stable as in summer or winter - it may rain. But in general, it's a good option if you want to swim in the sea and go to see the sights.
1.Russia: Yalta, Alushta, Sochi, Anapa
Average price: from RUB 25,000
Day air temperature: 21°
Air temperature at night: 11°
Water temperature: 17°
An excellent option for those who cannot stand the heat, but want to look at the sea (and, maybe, once or twice to plunge). The prospect of combining beach vacations with tourism looks tempting, especially when it comes to such a place rich in history like Crimea. Plus fresh vegetables, fruits, architectural monuments and few people. Where is the best place to go? There are few options - these are Sochi, Anapa and, of course, Crimea.
We have already written about the most beautiful places of the Crimean peninsula, therefore, the only difficulty you may have in October is choosing the right accommodation for your vacation in Crimea. There will be no problems with clean air, beautiful landscapes and entertainment.
