TOP resorts and countries where to go to the sea in February. Rating based on tourist reviews
February is the last month of winter. It seems that spring will come just a little bit longer, there will be bright and hot sun and sea again... but in fact, warm weather in our region should not wait until May, or maybe June. So if you can’t wait, then it’s better to take it right now and fly to the sea and palm trees. Moreover, there are many options where you can go to the sea in February to swim and sunbathe, where it is warm and sunny. Many resorts are right next to us, and some are far away, but they are very beautiful. So, let’s look at the options for a beach holiday in February and start packing our bags.
Southeast Asia: very warm in winter
While the winds are blowing in Europe and the Mediterranean Sea, and the air temperature sometimes drops to sub-zero levels, the weather in Southeast Asia is dry and sunny. Also, an undoubted advantage of this direction is that holidays at local resorts are considered budget-friendly. And here are the countries you can go to.
First of all, this is Thailand. At the end of the calendar winter there is a real rush among tourists. This time of year is the peak beach season in the country. The beaches of the kingdom are constantly full of vacationers, and there are always a lot of people on excursions. Prices at this time are not the lowest, but you don’t mind paying for such a vacation.
A huge advantage in choosing Thailand is the weather. In February it is dry and not hot. Perhaps this is the last month when there are the most luxurious conditions for relaxation here. Literally in a month the heat will set in, the rains will slowly begin and the humidity will rise to high levels.
But there are also disadvantages. Firstly, the flight from Moscow and other Russian cities to Thailand is quite long. Not everyone decides to take such a trip. Secondly, as we already said, these are prices. They may be several percent higher than usual. And another minus is the national cuisine. If this is your first time in the country, don’t rush into local food. Gradually try something new, otherwise your body will not be able to cope with so many spices and new tastes.
Next, let's look at the UAE and the main resort of the country - Dubai. In February, the sea here is not the warmest, but there are still a lot of tourists. All hotels are equipped with outdoor and indoor swimming pools, and relaxing there is no worse than by the sea.
The weather at this time is sunny, during the day the temperature easily rises to +25 degrees Celsius. It is neither hot nor cold, so you can safely go on excursions and walks around the city.
Among the advantages of traveling to the country in February: low prices, sales in shopping centers and excellent service everywhere. Among the disadvantages is the cold sea, although for some it will be warm.
Goa should not be discarded - it is the leader in the number of tourists in winter. And this is what scares some people. So many tourists come here in winter and in February in particular that it seems that all the people on the planet have decided to gather in one place. Naturally, not everyone wants to relax like this.
But on the other hand, in Goa in February there are 11 hours of sunny day. The sky is cloudless and there is no rain. You can swim, sunbathe, go on excursions and generally enjoy life.
Holiday prices are quite high, but the food here is very cheap and you can save a lot of money on this. A huge selection of excursion programs will help greatly diversify your time.
When going to Goa, you should know that local food has a specific taste. Therefore, it is also advisable not to eat too much right away, and let your stomach get used to such food. There are also a lot of strange people outside the tourist areas. Crime in India and Goa is high, so it is better to go on walks and excursions with a group rather than alone.
Caribbean countries: far but beautiful
Indeed, to relax in the Caribbean you will have to make a long and tiring flight across the Atlantic Ocean. But believe me - it's worth it! More beautiful beaches, luxury hotels on the ocean, unique nature and much more. You will definitely want to repeat this vacation.
When going on vacation on the other side of the ocean, the first thing you think about is the Maldives. The Maldives is called the paradise islands and this is true. Spacious beaches with white sand, beautiful nature, warm water and time seems to stand still here.
Tourists who vacationed here in February unanimously say that the ocean at this time is simply gorgeous. The water is warm and the secluded bays are completely calm. There are days when the waves rise, but this is not a problem, but an opportunity to ride the waves on a board.
There are also disadvantages here. For example, high prices for absolutely everything, from plane tickets to souvenirs. Also keep in mind that there are few attractions here, so it’s worth flying here just for the beaches and seaside recreation.
Plus 27 during the day, ocean water +29 degrees, windless and dry weather - all this will be in the Dominican Republic in February if you come here. Tourists from Russia really like to relax here, since many hotels offer vacations on their favorite all-inclusive system. Also, unlike the Maldives, there are many attractions, and the local culture is more rich and diverse.
Romantics and single tourists fly to Cuba. But in general, a holiday on the island of freedom is suitable for absolutely everyone. In February there is no heat here, and the average temperature barely reaches +28 degrees.
The local beaches are simply huge and sometimes empty. Just imagine that you will find yourself alone on the seashore, where there will be endless water ahead and a huge sandy beach behind!
In Cuba, hotels also offer tourists all-inclusive holidays, and there are no fewer excursions here than in Egypt or Italy. Plus, the life of the local population is such that tourists simply observe the residents and they themselves want to live: calmly, slowly and beautifully.
Cuba is not a particularly developed country. Therefore, recreation on its territory is specific. For example, there is almost no public transport here. It is very difficult to wait for the right bus, and taxis are expensive even for tourists. The level of service also wants to leave the best, after all, locals are more accustomed to relaxing themselves, rather than helping others do it.
Even despite the obvious minuses and shortcomings, a vacation in Cuba always turns out to be bright and unique.
Other countries
There is another country where it is warm and sunny in February. Of course, this is Egypt. The Red Sea is not very warm at the end of winter, but you can swim in it. And if you’re unlucky with the weather, there are hundreds of different excursions and each one will be unique.
A selection of the best options where you can relax in February 2020 by the warm sea - from traditional inexpensive destinations to exotic ones.
February is not very readily chosen for vacation, and it is completely in vain. While snowstorms are raging in your homeland and ARVI is raging, you can wonderfully relax on the seashore, basking on the fine sand. In addition, at the end of winter, large cultural events take place in many warm countries. So, where is the best place to relax in February 2020 at sea, where it’s warm and sunny at this time?

An entire entertainment island, Vinpearl Land, has been created near Nha Trang - the best place for families with children! In the last month of winter, the Vietnamese New Year is celebrated with spectacular parades and concerts.

Where is an inexpensive beach holiday in February 2020? Very cheap in Cambodia, but there are no tours there. The infrastructure is poorly developed, and flights from Russia are only with transfers. However, tourists are attracted by beaches that are not inferior to Thai ones, ancient temple complexes, and low prices for goods and services. In February there are excellent weather conditions: during the day +30...+34°С, sea +28°С.
Lovers of antiquities go on excursions to Siem Reap (Siem Reap), Angkor, Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville. Nature lovers travel to national parks, waterfalls and mountains. Shopping lovers buy items made from natural silk and jewelry with emeralds and sapphires at ridiculous prices.

It has beautiful white sand beaches and turquoise water. Conditions for a beach holiday in February are optimal: air +28...+30°C, sea water +26°C, precipitation is rare and insignificant.
There are no hurricanes in Aruba, but sea breezes always blow, so tourists go windsurfing and sailing. The casinos can rival Monte Carlo, and at the end of winter there are carnival parades, grand shows and dance parties. Sightseeing enthusiasts will appreciate the Dutch settlements in Masiduri and the colonial buildings of earlier times in the Prince's Valley.
