The French Riviera can be a great March getaway if you're not looking for the hot sea. At the beginning of spring, temperatures here are around 12-13 degrees Celsius. The best place for a March holiday here is Nice, where Mardi Gras takes place Cote d'Azur- Nice Carnival. It starts at the end of February and ends at the beginning of March. In terms of its scale, it can be compared with the carnival in Rio de Janeiro. The carnival is accompanied by parades, flower and musical processions.

The Emirates is a duty-free shopping zone, and although it has ended, prices for clothing, electronics and gold remain lower here than in other countries. In addition to shopping in the economic center of the UAE - Dubai - sunbathing is already taking place here in March. The sea has warmed up, the sun is shining. On the coast you can go diving, and later move to Dubai itself and see its modern architecture. It costs the same to fly to the UAE as to Egypt, so the prices are comparable to the Red Sea.

All inclusive holiday in Egypt

If you are used to an all-inclusive system or just want to relax with children, Egypt is most likely suitable for you. Prices for tours here start from three hundred dollars per person, and hotels are accustomed to family guests and offer water parks with water slides and other entertainment for children and adults. In March, the water on the Red Sea coast has not yet warmed up to summer temperatures, but is quite suitable for swimming. In Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh average temperature air during the day fluctuates around 25 degrees Celsius.

Holidays with children in Goa

Goa remains not only one of the destinations but also a suitable destination for the remaining months, including March. Just like in winter, spring is warm and sunny here. Many people prefer to rent a villa here and live as a family with children while it’s cold in Russia. March is the month when the season ends in Goa. It's getting hotter and many people are starting to miss air conditioning. At the same time, scooter rentals are becoming cheaper and the number of tourists is decreasing, which plays into the hands of social phobes.

Without a visa to hot Cuba

March is the peak season in Cuba: the air and sea temperatures are high, the wind rarely blows, and there is no rain. The entire spring here is the time of year when the weather is exceptionally sunny. As in other months, the main interest for tourists in Cuba is old Havana, the beaches of Varadero, Matanzas, and Villa Clara. Prices in March are approximately the same as prices at any other time of the year - about $1000-1300 per person for a budget tour of 7-9 days. No visa required.

Have you noticed that the same air ticket can cost differently on different websites? For this case, we have come up with a system for comparing prices of more than 700 airlines and booking systems. Try it!

March is not the most popular month for vacation. It is at this time of year, when the body is exhausted from vitamin deficiency, and there is still so much time before it gets warm, it’s time to pack your bags and go to warmer climes. Where can Russians go on holiday at sea in March without a visa in 2020?

It is not surprising that many people prefer visa-free destinations: there is no need to collect documents, waste time and worry about whether a visa will be denied. The financial issue also plays an important role: if on average a visa costs 40–50 dollars, this is a decent amount per family.

There are countries for which a visa is not required or can be obtained upon arrival.

Egypt

A country that still won’t be opened to organized tours, Russians still can’t forget. Egypt has many fans. Even now, some people prefer to travel on regular flights, but do not change their favorite Red Sea resorts.

Such love is quite understandable. In the cold season, this was truly the most budget-friendly vacation. Of course, there were complaints about the service, but all inconveniences were compensated by the excellent price, all-inclusive meals and good choice hotels. The language barrier in Egypt is also quite conditional.

You can get to it faster than other exotic resorts. Even if there is no vacation, you can go on weekends, for example, on March 8th. If you fly there on March 5, you'll get a great mini-vacation at sea.

True, March is not the best best time for relaxation in this region: in the evenings it is noticeably cool, and there are often sandstorms. But daytime temperature quite comfortable, you can swim, sunbathe and enjoy seafood.

Thailand

This country has long been chosen by thousands of Russian tourists.

The main advantage is the reasonable cost: now, among the winter destinations, this is perhaps the most budget-friendly place.

The only accessible alternative is India, but you cannot get there without first obtaining a visa or at least electronic permission. .

However, besides the price, Thailand has something to surprise and delight tourists:

March is a very good time to visit this country. This time ends tourist season and prices are starting to fall, but there are no tropical rains yet. The sea in Thailand is always warm, so this is a great place for families with children. In addition, in March you can go to the Festival kites, which takes place throughout the country.

Vietnam

The country is approximately in the same price category as Thailand. Vietnam is preferred by lovers of a relaxing holiday, as well as families with children. Fans of water sports are also worth flying here, for example, at the Nha Trang resort there is excellent diving.

Even if there is no group tour that is suitable for the price, it is quite possible to visit the country on your own.

Arriving in this country, you can visit:

• Ancient architectural structures.
• Ho Chi Minh Garden.
• The old part of Hanoi.
• Palace of Independence.
• Dalat resort.
• Restaurants, clubs.

There are a number of disadvantages:

1. Unsanitary conditions.
2. Tours are expensive.
3. There are few Russian speaking people.
4. Local cuisine is very spicy.
5. Poor quality of roads.
6. Long flight.

UAE

Lovers of this country that seems to have stepped out of the pages oriental tales, after New Year's holidays A surprise awaited: the authorities canceled visas for Russians. It is quite comfortable to relax here in the spring. The sea may not warm up so much, but it is not sweltering. summer heat and you can finally take in all the sights.

Beach holidays here are not among the cheapest, after all. But it won’t be exorbitant either; there are quite a few high-quality 3-star hotels here. This is also a paradise for shopping lovers.

True, it is difficult to find goods for next to nothing in the UAE, but high-quality clothes, equipment, and jewelry can be bought at very reasonable prices.

Maldives

This country cannot be called a budget holiday option, but it is worth the money spent. Such a turquoise sea and palm trees bent over it from the Bounty advertisement cannot be found anywhere else.

But this is a great place for a romantic getaway, and the SPA centers at local hotels are considered one of the best in the world.

Bali Island (Indonesia)

This exotic place is a real oasis of peace. Here beautiful nature, friendly local residents and the endless ocean. Spring is a good time to visit the country, but you need to take into account some nuances.

Mexico

This amazing country is now accessible to Russian tourists. Previously, it was required for Russians, and it was very difficult to obtain it, which was insisted on by a rich and influential neighbor in the person of the United States.

Now for Russians and Ukrainians it is enough to fill out a simple form on the consulate website and receive an electronic entry permit online within 24 hours. It is issued for a period of up to 180 days.

It's really worth going to Mexico. The beaches there are gorgeous, it is no coincidence that the country attracts tens of thousands of tourists from all over the world like a magnet. The most famous resort is Cancun. Nearby are smaller tourist towns - Tulum and Playa del Carmen.

The water in this place in the Caribbean is an unreal color, and the sand is fine and white as powdered sugar.

The only, but significant, disadvantage for Russian tourists is high prices. The proximity of the United States makes itself felt, so there is no need to think about living in Cancun on a budget, unlike, say, Southeast Asia. A double room in a three-star hotel will cost about $100, and about the same for dinner in a restaurant.

You can save money only if you stay not in the tourist part of the city, but in the one where the Mexicans themselves live. However, you will have to go to the beach by bus or taxi.

If you want a more sophisticated holiday, welcome to the Mexican coast Pacific Ocean. Famous resorts Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta have long been favored by bohemians, who treat the motley resort crowd of Cancun with some disdain. The beaches here are inferior to the Atlantic ones, but many are attracted by the atmosphere of this region.

Another option beach holiday, unknown to Russian tourists, - Gulf of Mexico. The water in it does not have the same azure color as in Cancun, but it is just as clean, and the sand is no less snow-white. The Mexicans themselves rest here, plus a small percentage of informed Europeans.

In the resort town of Progresso, located on the bay, there are many inexpensive apartments for rent and beautiful houses of wealthy Mexican residents. The best place to eat is in the coastal palapa restaurants under thatched roofs. Fresh seafood here is three times cheaper than in Cancun.

Of course, it is quite strange to come to Mexico and not visit anywhere except the beach. No matter how nice it is at sea, there is also a very colorful Mexico City, unique Mayan and Aztec pyramids, Indian markets where you can buy souvenirs for pennies... In general, it’s hard to say what Mexico doesn’t have.

Dominican Republic

Flight to Dominican Republic from Moscow

Disadvantages of rest at this time:

• The weather is sometimes capricious.
• Long flight.
• In the evenings, it is better not to go beyond the boundaries of your recreation area.

Entry with an e-visa to Sri Lanka and India

There are several countries with warm sea for a beach holiday, where entry permission can be obtained via the Internet. processed in 2-3 days. can be received 12-48 hours in advance or upon arrival at the country's airport.

India (Goa)

Goa is most suitable for a beach holiday, because the humidity makes traveling not very pleasant. The weather at this time is quite hot, so many people advise going here in early March, while it is still comfortable to be outdoors. .

This resort is famous for its beaches, Ayurveda and yoga centers. Here you can visit Hindu temples, waterfalls, and try local cuisine rich in spices. - that's two different worlds. The first has a more developed infrastructure for entertainment, the second has a calmer area for recreation.

Vacationers can enjoy diving, surfing, snorkeling (snorkeling), yachting, water skiing and quad biking - in short, everyone will find something to their liking in this paradise.

Another wonderful place where it is recommended to go in early spring. In March there already by our standards real hot summer.

A wonderful place, but you need to take into account the peculiarities. There are strong waves in March Therefore, tourists, especially if they have children with them, should carefully choose a place for swimming. But here is a paradise for surfing fans.

The air temperature during the day is about 25 degrees, the water temperature is 22. But at this time it is blowing strong wind khamsin, who brings sandstorms and can ruin your entire vacation.

Spring is the most the right time restore immunity at seaside resorts under the gentle southern sun. However, not all resorts familiar to Russian tourists open their swimming season in March. In most warm countries, with the beginning of spring comes low season, so you can relax at this time inexpensively.

The best "beach" countries in spring

March and April are the best time for a beach holiday in Asia - there is no stuffy and hot smog yet, but the sea has already warmed up to a comfortable temperature. In the tropics of the Northern Hemisphere, this is the dry season and a favorable time not only for swimming, but also for excursions.

The last month of the high season in countries tropical zone– this is March, since April there has been a drop in demand for this direction.

In May, it begins to rain in most resort countries. However, this does not really frighten those who tolerate it well. high temperature and air humidity. Top countries for a seaside holiday in March and April:

In May, the season opens at Mediterranean resorts and spring holiday opportunities expand to include European and North African countries, as well as resorts on the Red Sea.

The beaches of Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco are filling up. In Israel and Jordan, the beach season begins in April.

Holidays in the Arab East

The United Arab Emirates is a holiday destination for people with above-average incomes, although unassuming backpackers can find budget accommodation options here too. In terms of service, the UAE outshines all Arab resorts, delighting and surprising connoisseurs of oriental exoticism.

Cool winter by Middle Eastern standards gives way to moderate winter warm March(24-25°C) and hot April (up to 34°C). The water in the Persian Gulf in March is not yet warmed up - only 20-22°C. But those who “drew” into the warmth from cold winter To Russians it seems quite suitable for swimming. It’s another matter in April, when the water reaches 27°C and heated pools no longer attract anyone. In May, the air temperature already rises to 37°C.

Kingdom of Thailand

From March to the end of May, the weather in Thailand is hot - the air temperature stays at 34-37°C, the water in all resorts is heated to 30°C. The usual holiday destinations of Russians - Pattaya, Phuket, Samui, Krabi, Phi Phi - are blown by a light sea breeze at this time, and the central and northern provinces are already covered by the humid stuffiness of the approaching rainy season.

It is better to postpone excursions at this time and prefer boat trips and water activities - diving, snorkeling and simply swimming in the sea, warm as fresh milk. In March and April it becomes completely calm, high waves rarely rise. May is not the best time to visit Phuket and Krabi. The weather deteriorates and can change several times during the day, and storms come to the sea.

Cambodia – a discovery for Russian tourists

The Kingdom of Cambodia still remains a new beach destination for our tourists. Most people come here to see the Angkor temple complex. And few people get to the beautiful resort town of Sihanoukville, a popular holiday destination for Europeans. Even though Cambodia and Thailand are neighbors, their weather is slightly different. Temperatures are approximately the same, but the Cambodian air is a little drier and the heat is easier to bear.

Daytime temperatures are 33-35°C, night temperatures drop to 22-23°C. The sea, especially near the shore, is almost hot. Despite the fact that it is very hot here from March to May, spring is considered a continuation of the high season.

In May, with the arrival of rains, rest is no longer so comfortable - the sea begins to storm and sometimes with heavy rainfall, water floods the coastal strip.

The beaches of Sihanoukville are famous throughout the world for their beauty; by the way, one of them - Victory - belongs to a Russian family. The city beach is one large bar-restaurant. If you want to go to a paradise or go diving or snorkeling, go to the islands. The main advantage of the resort of Sihanoukville is its fantastically low prices compared to neighboring Vietnam and Thailand.

Spring season in Vietnam

Beaches in early spring best resorts Vietnam is emptying out - the holiday season for Russian-speaking tourists is ending. This is especially noticeable in Nha Trang. English and French speech can be heard more on the streets, and the crowds of Chinese celebrating their New Year at least a month. Europeans consider March and April to be the velvet season.

In spring, it’s good to relax in Nha Trang with a child – the sea gradually calms down, the water heats up to 27-28°C and swimming becomes safe for children.

The first spring months are dry, there is almost no rain. The heat is gradually increasing, but the brisk wind from the sea prevents the stuffiness from covering the city. By May it becomes very hot in Fukuoka - up to 40°C, in Mui Ne it is a little cooler - up to 33-35°C. At the end of spring, you can relax in Vietnamese resorts relatively cheaply. Hotels and restaurants sharply reduce prices closer to summer.

Philippine spring

Spring Philippines is a paradise. Storms and hurricanes are left behind. White sand, slender rows of palm trees, gentle sea and not very hot sun - this is what attracts tourists here. At this time, the resorts are filled with Europeans, Japanese and Chinese. Russians take last place on this list.

March brings dry hot weather– 33-34°C. Those who cannot stand the humid stuffiness should avoid resorts on the east coast. The first month of spring is suitable for those who like a quiet, measured holiday. Domestic prices are gradually decreasing, and flights remain the most expensive item in the vacation budget.

In April, humid heat approaches the islands, so those with vascular problems and low blood pressure are better off avoiding the trip. The thermometer rarely drops below 35°C; only a hotel room or green bays can protect you from the scorching sun. Vacation prices remain at the same level.

It is better to spend your May holiday on west coast Philippines, other regions become unsuitable for comfortable rest. In addition, the rainy season is beginning in the country. At this time, tours and plane tickets become cheaper, and you can fly on vacation for a very reasonable price.

The Maldives is consistently distinguished warm weather during the whole year. Spring is the last chance to relax in a paradise before the onset of summer storms. At the beginning of March, strong winds blow on the islands, which can cause rough seas. But the weather remains dry and sunny. By the middle of the month, the winds subside and surf lovers flock to the island.

March is the continuation of the high season, so vacation prices have not yet decreased.

In April, short-term rains begin, the amount of sunny days. Ends high season. April is the hottest month of the year, the air warms up to 37°C. At the beginning and end of May, winds blow over the islands. The middle is quite suitable for a beach holiday, as the heat subsides a little.

Beach holidays in Argentina

Argentina is not only a country ancient history And natural wonders, but also a great beach holiday on the coast Atlantic Ocean. This is an antipodean country, our spring months are the Argentine autumn. The high season here lasts from December to early April. In the eastern resorts of the country - in Mar del Plata and Buenos Aires - the weather is moderately warm - 24-27°C. True, the water is colder than in Asian resorts - only 19-22°C.

The most stable weather is in Acapulco (29°C) and Mexico City (27°C). In March, tours to Mexico begin to become cheaper, unlike plane tickets. This month is perfect for active sightseeing trips.

Mexican spring is considered the most favorable time for a beach holiday on the Caribbean coast.

The air temperature is very comfortable (up to 26°C), with the exception of two resorts - Trinidad and Santiago de Cuba. There the air heats up to 30°C.

In April it gets hotter and the nights become quite warm. The wind that rises closer to the rainy season attracts surfers to Cuban beaches. Best vacation at this time - on the Atlantic coast, it is not as hot there as in the Caribbean resorts. The May heat is combined with frequent but short-lived rains in the afternoon.

Where is the best place to go in March? First of all, you need to decide on the type of vacation that you will like. Do you just want to relax and sunbathe on the beach, or do you prefer surfing full of drive and adrenaline? The budget allocated for vacation also imposes its own adjustments.

Where to go in March without a visa

You won’t be able to go somewhere far without a passport, so it’s better to take care of obtaining this document in advance. But the list of visa-free countries is quite wide and there is plenty to choose from:

You can stay in these countries for up to 30 days without a visa.

Also included in this list of warm and visa-free countries:

• (up to 15 days)
• (90 days)
• (180 days)

And in the morning the sea is so quiet

Remember this children's poem? Indeed, the morning sea is somehow special, when the air is still filled with coolness, and the beaches are deserted, “the song of the surf is barely audible.” These sounds and sensations are worth waking up early for.

March is a good month to go on vacation. When winter is still in full swing in Russia, you can fly a few hours, plunge into real summer, recharge with vitamin D and enjoy an abundance of fruits. In addition, the high tourist season has not yet begun, and in March you can relax without unnecessary fuss and crowds. The decrease in interest in travel forces tour operators to reduce prices, and you can purchase a package tour on fairly favorable terms (the difference between January and March tours can be up to 30%).

For a beach holiday in March, most people turn their attention to Asia.
