Independent trips to resorts usually cost much less than trips. But this rule does not always work. For a number of foreign destinations, it is sometimes cheaper to buy a last-minute tour, the cost of which can be even lower than the flight. You can pick up such trips on your own resources.
Rules for finding a budget holiday
If you plan to independently organize for yourself a budget vacation at sea, then you should be guided by the following rules:
- The first thing that will help to save money is the refusal to rest during the high season. When planning a vacation, you should focus on the beginning or end of the season. For domestic resorts, this is May, early June and September. Firstly, at this time there is no such tangible heat, and secondly, the sea is warm. And the prices are significantly different. If swimming in the sea is not a matter of principle for you, and you are ready to relax by the pool and go on excursions, then in countries such as Bulgaria and Turkey, you can economically relax from October to April. During this period, even the most luxurious hotels give significant discounts, so the rest becomes much more affordable. Many complexes of foreign resorts have heated pools, which save the situation when the sea is cold.
- If you want to spend your vacation in Bulgaria and Turkey, then you should stop your choice not on half board, but on the beloved All Inclusive concept . Initially, it may seem to you that you are overpaying the extra money, but in fact, the purchase of drinks and food will cost you much more.
- In order to organize the most budget vacation at sea abroad, you must purchase last-minute tours or use the early booking service.
- Do not forget that leisure alone is much more expensive than in a company.
Sochi and Adler
Sochi and Adler - this is an obvious solution to a budget holiday at sea in Russia. Tickets for the Moscow – Adler plane are relatively inexpensive - from about 5,800 rubles. In this direction, the Pobeda low-cost airline is still flying. In this company, you can buy cheaper tickets - from a thousand rubles, but it should be borne in mind that they are quickly taken apart.
You can rent a house in Sochi from $ 20 (1200 rubles), in Adler it is much cheaper - from $ 10 (600 rubles). Eating at the resorts is possible in budget canteens.
In Sochi, three-star hotels “Windrose” and “Valentine” offer inexpensive rooms; the cost of a double room in them will cost 3,000 and 3,200 rubles per day. For the resort, such prices can be considered quite affordable. Both institutions have a good location - in the very center of the city.
The two-star Nairi complex offers double rooms with a balcony for 2700 rubles. The hotel has a sauna, bar, massage, pool and much more.
Fans of comfortable rooms and good service can recommend the four-star establishments Park Inn by Radisson and Zhemchuzhina, a stay in them per day will cost 4,600 and 5,200 rubles, respectively.
Accommodation in Adler
For those planning a budget vacation at sea in Russia, Adler may be an ideal option. The resort has not only expensive hotels, but also quite budgetary establishments and even guesthouses. The choice of housing is quite large. Among the proven hotels, we can recommend the three-star Almira (3000 rubles) with excellent rooms and good service, the more expensive Vesna complex (5000 rubles), which has the most positive reviews and excellent infrastructure (pool, sauna, tennis courts, massage).
Accommodation in four-star Adler hotels will cost a little more. "AS-Hotel" offers double apartments from three thousand rubles. This is a fairly budget option, since in more famous institutions, rooms cost from seven thousand rubles.

The minimum cost of living increases to 600 rubles per room. The average cost of living in 2017 in the private sector starts from a thousand rubles for double apartments.
