Pivot table - where is the warmest place for the New Year?
New Year in Thailand
We celebrated the New Year in Bali, and for the January holidays we were in Thailand
The Russians have long chosen Thailand as a place where you can spend a cheap holiday at sea. Trips here are organized all year round, and the cost of the tour, even in the season, is quite democratic - from 68-70 thousand rubles for two.
Thailand pros:
- + Departures - from most cities in Russia
- + Available - everything for which tours abroad are purchased for the New Year 2020 - sunny weather, clear blue sea and endless sandy beaches
- + Phuket is the best winter resort for a vacation with a child
- + Bright show programs in hotels and bars
- + Excursions, both natural and culturally inclusive
- + Exotic fruits - mango, papaya, mangosteen, dragonfruit, durian
New Year's holidays in Thailand will be of interest to both lovers of noisy parties and connoisseurs of solitude. The latter can go to some small and sparsely populated Thai island and meet January 1 on a deserted beach - under bright stars and to the sound of the surf.
When planning a trip for the New Year abroad at sea, it is worth considering some minuses:
- - December-January is the peak tourist season. The Thais, who are well aware of this, double the prices. Therefore, it is worth booking a tour 3-4 months in advance.
- - Almost everywhere there are a lot of people on the beaches, in entertainment venues, in markets and just on the streets.
New Year in Vietnam
Where else to relax on the warm sea during the New Year holidays, apart from the already familiar Thai resorts? Many choose Vietnam. The popularity is still gaining momentum, so a trip here is an extraordinary and interesting way to celebrate January 1st.
Here's what you can expect from the New Year in Vietnam:
- + democratic prices (for example, lunch in a good restaurant will cost $20–30)
- + bronze tan and warm weather
- + well-developed tourist infrastructure and tolerable service
- + and a New Year's atmosphere along with a festive mood! (the streets of many cities are decorated with garlands, carnivals, folk festivals and fireworks are arranged)
Does the New Year in Vietnam not promise any minuses? Unfortunately, there are also disadvantages here. In the south of the country, where most resorts are located, typhoons hit the coast from mid-October to the end of December. And in the central regions, where there are also many popular resorts, the rainy season lasts from August to January.
Which resort to choose: Phan Thiet, Mui Ne, Phu Quoc - off-season in Nha Trang.
- Prices for New Year's Vietnam start from 95,000 rubles for two for 10 nights.
goa
Where to go for the New Year 2020 inexpensively? Goa is the cheapest and warmest thing that can happen on holidays.
Someone claims that the state for recreation is “cheap and cheerful”, someone is delighted with the local “five” (which can be counted on one hand), and someone reads reviews about terrible unsanitary conditions and crosses the direction off the list. But it's definitely worth a trip, we're going too :)
- For 7 or 10 nights, a tour to Goa costs from 90,000 rubles for two (depending on the date of departure).
Turkey
Truth. Also in 5-star hotels, all-inclusive and with animation. Only not all complexes are open in winter, the choice is decently limited. However, in that article we tried to select the best options.
Another scenario for celebrating the New Year in Turkey is Istanbul. Cats, bagels, light snow (possibly) and the Bosphorus with seagulls - we are delighted with the city in any weather :)
The only thing that "disappoints" in resort Turkey is the temperature outside at + 10 ° С ... + 15 ° С. There is something to counter this - a heated pool! We have provided a list of good hotels open in winter in this article.
Which resort to choose: Istanbul or Belek or Antalya.
- Turkey for the New Year tour will be minimally 50,000 rubles per week for 2 people. To a hotel with good reviews - from 80,000 rubles.

If you ask them where to go on winter holidays, then for sure the wishes will be something like this:
- go somewhere where it will be fun and interesting;
- to have rides and adventures;
- to be able to play and eat delicious food;
- so that you can not only look at the exhibits in the museum, but also touch everything with your hands;
- so that you can see different animals, birds and fish and feed them;
- so that you can ride a sleigh, horses, dogs, deer, elephants (!);
- so that there are adventures, miracles, gifts and Christmas trees, because New Year and Christmas are the time of miracles!

And also, so that children develop and be able (and most importantly, want) to get as much useful information and experience as possible ... and at the same time improve their health ...

On the eve of the New Year, many parents are concerned about the question of where to go for the winter holidays 2018 with children? And this is not surprising, because the winter holidays are a time of rest from school everyday life, which will help you recuperate and continue your studies energetically. It is very important that the winter holidays bring the student maximum positive emotions, and the chosen place contributes to a full-fledged healthy vacation.
When deciding where to go for the winter holidays, first of all decide on the climate. Someone wants to spend holidays in warm countries, someone dreams of meeting Santa Claus, and someone likes ski resorts or a trip to one of the famous capitals of Europe.
Visiting Santa Claus
What is the best winter vacation trip for a small child? Of course, to Santa Claus! You can meet the famous Grandfather both in your native country and abroad. The Russian favorite of the public lives in Veliky Ustyug, the fraternal Belarusian - in Belovezhskaya Pushcha, but the distant, but no less attractive Santa, meets children in snowy Lapland.
In Veliky Ustyug, children can expect fun games and amazing rides, unforgettable entertainment programs with the participation of their favorite long-familiar and modern fairy-tale characters, as well as rollercoaster rides, a zoo, and, of course, a meeting with the long-awaited real Santa Claus. Kids will be able to visit the dwelling of their beloved Grandfather, which is a palace, a winter garden, and also see with their own eyes the post office, where thousands of children send letters every year. In addition, each guest of Santa Claus has the opportunity to get joint photos.
In Belovezhskaya Pushcha, children will see the residence of Father Frost, namely, his estate, museum, house, magic well, windmill, sculptural compositions and much more. Rest in sanatoriums provides for a wide entertainment and educational program for children.
If the baby is already familiar with the domestic Santa Claus, a vacation in Finland, namely in the capital of Lapland, Rovaniemi, where Santa Claus lives, will be an excellent option. New Year in Rovaniemi will be an unforgettable comfortable stay for the whole family.
Holidays in ski resorts
A family of outdoor enthusiasts will surely appreciate the holidays spent at the ski resort. Clean mountain air, fabulously beautiful winter nature and gliding down the slope on skis and sleds will leave the best impressions. Switzerland and Austria are especially fond of lovers of ski holidays. The resorts of Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine and Romania are also popular. Almost every ski resort provides special tracks for children and the possibility of classes in a ski school.
New Year in European capitals
New Year's holiday in Paris is one of the most expensive and fabulous trips. The festive capital will delight tourists with ski resorts with impressive cable cars and slopes of varying difficulty, an enchanting show on the Eiffel Tower, sailing trips and a host of New Year's events. Unforgettable emotions, especially for children, will be given by a trip to Disneyland, as well as the famous landmark of Paris - the Castle of the Count of Monte Cristo.
Holidays in Prague are a fabulous vacation under fluffy snow, incredible surprises, welcome gifts, beautiful Christmas trees and firs in pots, as well as unforgettable New Year and Christmas performances. Various sales are held on the streets at this time, confectioners present the most delicious sweets, and evenings end with colorful fireworks.
Journey from winter to summer
For those who want to escape from the frosty winter during the holidays, there are numerous tours to foreign seaside resorts. Cuba, the Maldives, Thailand, Israel, India or Egypt will be a great place to go on a winter vacation with children. During the winter holidays, the child will be able to swim and sunbathe, as well as get acquainted with the sights and wonders of overseas countries.
But with all the beauty of such a trip, it is worth remembering that it is very difficult for a child to adapt to the opposite climate. In addition, returning from a warm country to a cold one can be a real stress for the body and a risk of illness. Pediatricians do not recommend spending holidays in overseas countries, especially with children under 14 years old.
Surely, given all the options, each family will find the best option for themselves where to go on New Year's holidays with children and bring the most vivid impressions from the place of rest. A convenient price calendar will help you find the best prices for tours.

Going to the sea for the New Year holidays with children, you need to understand that even in the warmest corners of Europe or the Middle East (Canary Islands, Cyprus, Turkey, Israel, Dubai) it will be warm and sunny in spring, but swimming in the sea is not guaranteed. At the listed resorts, the water temperature in the sea can range from +15 to +25 degrees, year after year it doesn’t happen, how lucky But, in any case, a light tan, warm sun, healthy sea air and sand castles on the beach are guaranteed.
Another thing is the Caribbean or Southeast Asia (Dominican Republic, India, Thailand, Vietnam)! This is where the season will be and the air and water temperature will be approximately +25 to +30 degrees. Of the minuses of these destinations - higher prices, longer flights, more change of time zones. However, we have included these destinations in Southeast Asia, as for residents of Siberia and the Russian Far East, the flight will be noticeably shorter, there will be less time zone changes, and airfare will be much cheaper! Well, the Dominican Republic itself is simply Paradise on Earth, including for children.

Christmas nuance ...

In Israel, Christmas is not an official holiday - usually, Jews start celebrating Hanukkah on December 25, but because of the large Russian diaspora, Christmas, like in Russia, is still celebrated on January 7. In all other Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu countries, Christmas is not a holiday. But the traditional New Year from December 31 to January 1 is already celebrated by all countries of our rating
