Atypical countries for beach vacations: where to go in early winter

The rainy and cold season has already become quite boring. The sun is breaking through the clouds less and less, strong winds are blowing, and it is getting dark much earlier. All these weather conditions have a great impact on people's mood. And this is just the beginning. Frosts and blizzards are still ahead.

What should those who already miss the warmth do? Of course, fly to a place where it's summer all year round. Where you can sunbathe non-stop, swim to your heart's content, and enjoy incredible views. We will tell you where to go to warm your bones!

Vietnam

An inexpensive exotic country where the air and water temperatures are between 25 and 28 degrees. Of course, there is a rainy season here. Still, there are no unfavorable periods for traveling. The fact is that the country is located in two climatic zones. Therefore, there are always regions where it is dry and comfortable. In winter, these are the resorts of Phu Quoc, Danang, Nha Trang, Hoi An, and Vung Tau.

Even 30 years ago, it made no sense to come here. But now everything has changed. The coast of the South China Sea is being built up with luxury five-star hotels, numerous islands are being cleaned up, and infrastructure is being improved. Not to mention the cultural heritage of the region. It's worth coming here not only for a beach vacation but also to plunge into the traditions of an ancient nation.

By the way, every traveler will find something to their liking here. You can go kitesurfing or diving, go on excursions, visit bars, taste local cuisine, and simply enjoy the flora and fauna.

Philippines

An island nation with no winter, spring, summer, or fall. Only two seasons always prevail here: wet and dry. The latter is the best time to travel. It begins in November and lasts until March.

2 categories of tourists usually come here. Some choose comfortable hotels and spend all their vacations on the beach or by the pools, sometimes going on tours of the surrounding area. Others are actively looking for adventure, constantly moving from place to place, traveling to picturesque locations, and getting to know the history and traditions of the indigenous population.

Both options have the right to exist. The first one is ideal for couples with children or those who do not like extreme sports. The second one is for those who like atypical vacations.

It is worth noting that Europeans feel comfortable here. Most Filipinos speak English, so it is not difficult to find a common language.

Kenya

Another unexplored country with sea, mountains, lakes, and deserts. As expected, it is always summer here. And it is not surprising. The country's territory is located on both sides of the equator. Therefore, it is logical that people come here for a beautiful tan.

If you are planning a trip just for a beach vacation, then you should head east. The coastline stretches for 480 kilometers. Many hotels and villas have been built on the coast to suit every budget. There is plenty to choose from. We recommend that you take a closer look at the sandy beaches of Mombasa, Nyari, Bumburi, Kilifi, Tiwi, and Deacon.

For those who like to combine active and passive leisure, Kenya offers a variety of tourism options. Safaris are especially popular. Be sure to take a mini tour of national parks and reserves. Elephants, leopards, lions, buffaloes, giraffes, and other exotic animals live there.

Dominican Republic

"Paradise on Earth" is how tourists who have visited the country describe it. And they are right. This is a really great place to enjoy the sun. It is always warm and comfortable here. Of course, there is a rainy season. But it doesn't stop travelers from coming here whenever they want.

From November to April, the weather is dry and cool. During this period, there is almost no precipitation, and the temperature ranges from 25 to 27 degrees. In winter, the sea is extremely calm. By the way, it is at this time of year that whales come to the shores. Therefore, vacationers have a great opportunity to admire them up close.

A trip to the Dominican Republic involves not only sunbathing. You can also go on exotic excursions or join extreme sports enthusiasts. Diving, kayaking, windsurfing, jeep safaris, etc. are well-developed on the islands.

If you've already missed the sound of the sea waves, sandy beaches, and gentle sunshine, then you should plan a new trip. After all, it will be cold in our region for a long time, and you need to please your body and soul. In addition, it is not necessary to choose expensive resorts as you can go where there are pleasant prices and relatively few noisy tourists.
