The first winter month brings a lot of joy to Russians. Somewhere it’s snowing, somewhere people are already skating, and all over the country preparations are underway for the New Year. But there are also those who prepare for the New Year in their own way and choose hot country to celebrate the New Year by the sea on the sandy shore. A beach holiday abroad in December 2018 is quite possible. The beach season is open in many countries and you can relax inexpensively in Asia, the Caribbean and Africa. Our experts have made a small TOP of holiday destinations at the beginning of winter. Look and check it against your list.

But life is changing and many people no longer imagine a Christmas tree in their apartment instead of a beautiful one. sandy beaches and warm sea. Are you one of them? Then let’s see where it’s best to relax by the sea in December, so that it’s inexpensive and beautiful.
Cuba is in first place.
To be honest, we put Cuba in first place simply because you are unlikely to ever forget the New Year you celebrated in the Caribbean. Distant Cuba has always attracted tourists with its endless beaches, its leisurely life and carelessness. And in this country you will meet New Year's celebration one of the last - how do you like this prospect?
In the first winter month, the weather in Cuba is sunny. The air temperature rises to +30 degrees, at night it drops to +20. The sea, ah more precisely the ocean, very warm and warmed up to +28. The winds are left behind, the rains are the same. The spruce waves are noticeable and you can easily fall asleep on the beach to the sound of their light noise.
Besides the beach, the country has other entertainment options. These are rare cars that drive on local roads. This is a national food that can be tasted everywhere, and it is not expensive. Plus, don’t forget about the beautiful nature of the island of freedom - it’s the only one here.
The Indian resort of Goa is in second place in our ranking. Holidays here are very cheap, the only thing expensive is the flight. But this is not such a problem, especially considering the beauty that awaits you in Goa.
In December, the resort is dominated by the sun. During the day the air warms up to +27 +30 degrees. The nights are a little cool, but it is unlikely to drop below +20. The water in the sea is about +28 degrees and this cannot but please those who came here on vacation from sub-zero temperatures.
Also, do not forget that Goa is India and has its own culture and rich history. Lots of excursions, elephant rides and museums with the history of the country. You will see how the locals live, what they have in common with us and why the locals are in no hurry.
Dominican Republic - bronze medalist.
One can argue endlessly about the fairness of our ranking, but we insist that the Dominican Republic should take a place in the middle and get bronze. Firstly, and this is no secret, local beaches are constantly recognized as the most beautiful in the world. Secondly, there are amazing hotels here called bungalows. This small houses designed for one or more people. In the Dominican Republic, bungalows are located right in the ocean in shallow water and often have glass floors, which allows you to see the ocean bottom and passing fish. And thirdly. It is in December that there are thousands of whales off the coast of the island of Haiti, and this sight cannot be missed or forgotten.
As for the weather, 99% of the days the sun shines here, and there is not a single cloud in the sky. The air is heated to +30, which is not so hot. The humidity is average, and at night it is much easier, because it is only +22 degrees. The ocean off the coast of the island has a temperature of +27 degrees. Local beaches are clean with white sand. Sometimes they go around the bend and seem endless.
Half of the tourists come to the Dominican Republic not for the beach, but for surfing and diving and other water activities. And you should try yourself in something, we are sure you will like it.
Vietnam is still fourth, but is trying to get into the top three.
From year to year, more and more people want to vacation in Vietnam. And this is not without reason. The resorts and hotels here are modern, many opened several years ago. The beaches are completely sandy and relaxing on them is a pleasure.
The average water temperature off the coast of the country is about +25 degrees. During the day the air warms up to +30, and at night not lower than +22. There is no rain, the wind does not blow often. You can be on the beach from morning to evening and not regret anything.
The favorite form of entertainment in Vietnam is diving. Undersea world holds many secrets and stories that scuba diving enthusiasts unravel. The underwater world here has not yet been explored, so divers often find valuables and items from the recent war.
Tourists are also entertained with trips to waterfalls, excursions and stories about the ancient history of the country.
Thailand is last in the TOP.
Many will say - no, the resorts of this country should come first - and in their own way they will be right. Thailand has long been number one in winter in terms of beach holidays. And for this reason we left it in the TOP, but at the end. Millions of Russians have visited the country, and many have done so several times. Therefore, for beginners, Thailand is an amazing country, and for experienced tourists, it is a common place where you can sunbathe and swim in the sea.
In December, the country has sunny weather with temperatures below +35 degrees Celsius. At night it gets cooler, but not by much, about +25. The sea will delight you with its calmness and warmth up to +27 degrees. There is little or no rain all month.
Natural attractions and cultural monuments are the best excursions in the country. There are so many of them that you can devote your entire vacation to visiting them. But there are also ancient temples that are worth visiting. And don't forget about the elephant village.
At night, life in the country is as vibrant as during the day. Thousands of entertainment for every taste. Tourists happily accept the rules of the game, and it seems that they do not sleep at all during their rest days.
Where else - continuation of the TOP.
We do not insist that our TOP be equaled. This is just our opinion. In addition to these five countries, there are other places where it is warm on New Year’s Eve and you can swim in the sea. For example, Dubai or Israel. And if you fly further away, then there are Mexico and Brazil. The list goes on: Indonesia, Maldives, Seychelles, Egypt and so on. The choice is great, and you probably have your own preferences and your favorites in the TOP.
It's gray outside. I'm already pretty tired of work. I want new impressions, sun and warmth. What to do in this case? Take a vacation and change your situation urgently! It is better to spend your holidays in December-January in exotic countries- they will help you plunge into the real summer. So which states are best suited for this? Where is it possible to organize an inexpensive vacation in December? We will answer these questions below.
Thailand
Relaxing in allows you to enjoy its soft and warm climate. It must be taken into account that for this given time The islands of Phuket, Koh Samet, Pattaya, Samui and Koh Chang are best suited for the year. While in Thailand, visit Fr. Phi Phi Ley, where the famous film “The Beach” was filmed.
But lovers of rock climbing and unearthly landscapes planning a holiday in Thailand in December will definitely like Pranang. This place will pleasantly surprise travelers with clear turquoise water, white sand, and grandiose rocks. But we must take into account that December is the beginning high season at the resort. The tour will cost from 43,000 rubles.
Winter holiday: Egypt
December 2014, according to forecasts, will be one of the most successful for this country in terms of the influx of tourists. The popular resorts of Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh at this time of year turn, one might say, into Russian-speaking ones. There are many direct Russian flights here. Thirty-day visas are issued at airports here. You can also obtain a tourist visa in Cairo.
But at this time the weather here is not the best for swimming. At night the temperature reaches +15 °C, during the day - +25 °C. It is also worth noting that the water at this time warms up to room temperature, there are very strong winds. Although, given that all hotels have warm, well-equipped pools, the desire to swim can be easily fulfilled.

Hurray - the children shout when December comes and winter comes. But adults are not very happy about this event, because not everyone likes winter. More people they love summer, sand and sea... but, unfortunately, according to the calendar it is winter. And in our country there will be a warm sea only in six months. Why wait so long? After all, you can go to other countries where it’s warm, sunny and great weather. You can go, you just need to know where to go in December to the sea abroad where it’s hot and where the weather is comfortable.
In fact, there are plenty of such places, and the choice is simply huge. It is in Europe that beach resorts have closed, but in southern Asia or South America they are just opening. So pack your suitcase, and we will tell you about the best places in the world where the sea is warm and hot in December. Let's start.
Thailand is the height of the beach season.
As mentioned above, in Asian countries, especially in southern countries, winter is the time when the beach season is in full swing here. And Thailand is the center of such holidays.
The beaches of Thailand are full of tourists in December. There are hundreds of thousands of them, maybe a million. People come here for the sun, for the warm ocean and for relaxation. Thailand in December means hot weather up to +30 degrees, a warm ocean no lower than +26 degrees, and a sea of positivity, relaxation and adventure!
In December, the sales season begins in the country. And this is not surprising, because there are so many tourists here, and everyone wants to buy something as a souvenir. Therefore, local merchants stock up on goods in advance and when the swimming season begins, they organize sales. These days you can buy good and high-quality gifts and other things for pennies.
People also come to Thailand for the sights. This may seem strange to some, but there are quite a lot of such people. There are hundreds of attractions in the country and resorts.

Vietnam – excellent weather and warm sea.
In truth, you can swim and sunbathe in Vietnamese resorts all year round. but most of all tourists in this country are in December and other winter months.
In December, the weather in Vietnamese resorts is dry and sunny. It often happens here that the temperature of the ocean water is higher than the air temperature. According to statistics, the air this month is warmed up to +25 degrees, and the water near the coast of the country is +27 degrees. This is due to the fact that warm waters come here from the ocean, and warm winds do not warm the air so quickly.
The cost of holidays in the country is one of the cheapest in southern Asia. For 10 nights in a four-star hotel you can relax for 60,000 thousand rubles. And if you are more modest and can survive three stars at your hotel, then the cost of the tour will be no more than 40,000 thousand rubles.
There are even more attractions in the country than in Thailand. There are a huge number of historical monuments here. Local Buddhist temples are amazing in their size.
For children, hotels offer separate programs with water parks, water slides and attractions. That's why tourists with children come here.

Cuba - far away, but beautiful!
When it is winter in our hemisphere, it is summer and warm in the other. For example, in Cuba there are sunny days, no rain, and vacation costs pennies. It’s true that it’s a long way to fly to Cuba, and this can be a disadvantage.
The daytime temperature in the country does not exceed +27 degrees. The sun shines almost every day; throughout December there are literally 2-3 cloudy days. But rain is excluded. Winds blow here that prevent rain. So a holiday in Cuba in December is a guarantee of dry weather.
It’s worth mentioning separately about the ocean. At this time of year he is calm. There are no storms, and quiet waves drive warm water from the ocean to the shores. Beaches are cubes of white sand. You can rent a hotel room, or you can rent a house on the ocean shore and admire the sunrise and sunset.

And lovers of antiques will love the houses of local residents, which are decorated with revolutionary posters and flags.

There are different prices and other disappointments.
