October is not the best season for a beach holiday. Most Mediterranean resorts already feel the breath of winter (expressed, however, it is only in the number of rainfall). And the popular tourist countries of South Asia barely come out of the rainy season.
However, there are still places where the average Russian can accumulate a supply of solar vitamin D for the long winter. We have selected for you 15 places to go to relax in October in 2018 - from Russia to abroad, from inexpensive to VIP class. Resorts are sorted from the most expensive to the most budget destinations.
The price is based on a seven-day tour at the 4 * hotel.
15. Maldives: Laviani, Raa
Average price: from 157 000 rub.
Daytime 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 warm to indecent, but the wet season can spoil the whole idyll. Sunny and rainy days are approximately equal, however, strong winds will pleasantly amaze surfers, and the migration of whales and stingrays, which are lovers of wildlife and diving, taking place just at that time. For a beach holiday, it is best to ride in the first half of the month - the rains there are less frequent and the wind is not so strong.
14. Dominican Republic: Boca Chica, Puerto Plata, Punta Cana
Average price: from 110 000 rub.
Daytime air temperature: 30°
Air temperature at night: 25°
Water temperature: 29°
Riding in the Dominican Republic is best in October November. The sweltering summer heat along with heavy rains at the end of the month is just beginning to recede. But the sea is warm, like soup - 29 °, and the beaches seemed to have come down from an advertising picture.
If you wish, you can try walking through the sights. For example, the country's main city, Santo Domingo, was included in the list of world attractions according to UNESCO. And wildlife lovers can enjoy all its tropical diversity in the national parks of the country. However, diving enthusiasts should remember that the sea at this time of the year is still turbulent, there are strong winds and even storms. An additional plus - tourists to the Dominican Republic can do without a visa.
13. Indonesia: Jakarta, Kuta, Ubud
Average price: from 110 000 rub.
Daytime air temperature: 29°
Air temperature at night: 22°
Water temperature: 28°
In Indonesia, every tourist will find a place on their own - cheaper, richer, smaller, bigger, more active, relaxed. The tourist infrastructure in the country is well developed, only specific local sand can slightly surprise. Due to the abundance of volcanoes in the past, it is non-standard black. However, walking on it is nice. In addition, Indonesia is simply a very beautiful country with its own culture and architecture, not familiar to the European eye.
12. Spain: Canary Islands, Puerto de Naos
Average price: from 104 000 rub.
Daytime air temperature: 26°
Air temperature at night: 19°
Water temperature: 24°
In October, Spain is already starting to get colder. And this means that the beach season at resorts located on the mainland of the country has nothing to count. Of course, if you do not regularly temper in the hole - then yes, a 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. There is no rain, cold winds come much later. Unless you can’t sit in water all day, it’s uncomfortable for the human body in the morning and evening. But once or twice to plunge to cheer up, too, is possible.
11. Jordan: Aqaba, Dead Sea
Average price: from 100 000 rub.
Daytime air temperature: 29°
Air temperature at night: 18°
Water temperature: 25 ° or 29 ° in the Dead Sea
The sea in Jordan is not simple - the Dead. They go there at any time of the year on vacation, regardless of weather conditions with wellness and spa goals, and October is no exception. The “ordinary” 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 the middle of October - it is still warm during the day, but it starts to get colder at night, so it will be useful to take a couple of warm clothes with you just in case.
10. Cuba: Havana, Masanillo
Average price: from 100 000 rub.
Daytime 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 coming from northern countries are advised to use sunscreens. And it’s better not to appear on the beach from 11 o’clock until the evening.
October attracts Cuba mainly for its fishing. It is at this time of year that the fishing of the famous blue marlin is especially good (remember “Old Man and the Sea”? It is about this fish there). But living conditions in Cuba may recall 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 air conditioning that even a catch is not able to help survive the disappointment.
9. Morocco: Marrakech, Agadir
Average price: from 100 000 rub.
Daytime air temperature: 26°
Air temperature at night: 17°
Water temperature: 22°
Morocco is a great option for trips combining 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 buy enough, then it is better to choose another country. The sea in Morocco in October is not as welcoming as before. Moreover, there are cheaper options.
But do not be surprised if you suddenly find that all the places in your favorite hotel are reserved for the weekend - October in Morocco is a favorite time for surfers. The increased wind creates precisely such waves, which tourists from Spain and France follow.
8. Malta: Gozo, Marsakala
Average price: from 72 000 rub.
Daytime air temperature: 25°
Air temperature at night: 23°
Water temperature: 24°
Although October in Malta is considered autumn, temperatures still delight the tourist. Not particularly hot, but pleasantly warm air temperature contributes to long walks, visits to museums and sightseeing. And the sea cools slowly, so you can buy yourself plenty. At night, however, it is already cooler, and sea winds begin to blow, so take a windbreaker with you.
7. Thailand: Patong, Bangkok
Average price: from 70 000 rub.
Daytime air temperature: 32°
Air temperature at night: 27°
Water temperature: 30°
October is a great opportunity to travel to Thailand cheaply. There, the rainy season is just ending, so vouchers are cheaper than in high season. True, summer rains will disturb the holidaymakers from time to time, but they are warm and usually do not bother too much.
An additional bonus is that 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 cornering.
6. Cyprus: Limassol, Paphos
Average price: from 51 000 rub.
Daytime air temperature: 26°
Air temperature at night: 20°
Water temperature: 25°
Cyprus is beautiful even in October. The temperature of water and air is just the same, optimally suitable for a pleasant beach holiday. It’s not too hot, because it’s a fresh sea breeze. It is not surprising 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 doesn’t hurt - late in the evening the air temperature may seem cool.
There are other pluses, for example, in October, the local all-island festival takes place, where local people watch and show themselves. In general, Cyprus is one of the best places to go to the sea in October.
5. UAE: Abu Dhabi, Dubai
Average price: from 50 000 rub.
Daytime air temperature: 35°
Air temperature at night: 21°
Water temperature: 27°
The heat subsides, and young and not so tourists begin to reach for a better country for pensioners. The air temperature is still high, but not enough to paralyze the tourist’s daily activity. You can swim, you can see the sights. The only thing that can overshadow the tourist's vacation in the United Arab Emirates is that just in October, the month of Muslim fasting, Ramadan, falls. This means that you noisy entertainment, shows, as well as alcohol in restaurants. Fortunately, these harsh rules do not apply to infidels, who just at that time have fun in hotels without hesitation.
4. Tunisia: Djerba, Sousse
Average price: from 40 000 rub.
Daytime 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 it, take a look at the temperatures prevailing there. However, taking a light windbreaker or a raincoat does not hurt, since October, even in Africa, can show character. True, it is expressed in a small warm rain.
Just in October, Tunisia experiences a “velvet season” - the heat is not so exhausting, and the sea is still pleasant to the body temperature. A great option for traveling with children, especially for the first time leaving the homeland and little accustomed to climate changes.
3. Turkey: Side, Belek, Alanya
Average price: from 33 000 rub.
Daytime air temperature: 29°
Air temperature at night: from 13 °
Water temperature: from 22 °
The list of where to go to rest in October at sea would be incomplete without the country's favorite Russian tourists. Trips to Turkey in October are even cheaper. However, do not rush to rejoice - at most resorts in 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 are conditions still maintained for a comfortable lying on the beach.
First of all, you should pay attention to the resort cities with magnificent sandy beaches - Side, Belek and Alanya. Although the temperature of water and air is still suitable for a full beach holiday, we still recommend taking warm clothes with you. It’s hot in the afternoon, but in the late evening and at night it’s already cool in the autumn.
2. Egypt: Dahab, Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada
Average price: from 30 000 rub.
Daytime air temperature: 29°
Air temperature at night: from 19 °
Water temperature: 26°
Go to Egypt at the beginning of the month. And even it’s not about rains and temperatures, but about school holidays at the end of October. At this time, many parents are in a hurry to take their child out to the sun. And tour operators respectively increase the price of tickets.
The weather is not as stable as in summer or winter - it can rain. But in general, 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 25 000 rub.
Daytime air temperature: 21°
Air temperature at night: 11°
Water temperature: 17°
A great option for those who can’t stand the heat, but I want to see the sea (and maybe plunge once or twice). The prospect of combining a beach holiday with tourism looks tempting, especially when it comes to such a historical place as Crimea. Plus, fresh vegetables, fruits, architectural monuments and non-people. Where is better to go? There are few options - this is Sochi, Anapa and, of course, Crimea.
We already wrote about the most beautiful places of the Crimean peninsula, so the only difficulty that you may have in October is the choice of suitable housing for a vacation in Crimea. With clean air, beautiful landscapes and entertainment there will be no problems.
