Cheap tropical destinations

Here are several popular tropical destinations you can fly to with budget airlines, along with the best accommodation options.

Flight ticket to Albania with Wizz Air for £68 round trip

Albania is a great choice for Brits dreaming of a tropical holiday at a moderate price.

Ksamili Beach in southern Albania has even earned the nickname 'The Maldives of Europe' for its idyllic islands, pristine sandy beaches, and crystal-clear turquoise waters.

This cove is perfect for swimming and snorkeling.

With Wizz Air tickets for £68 round trip, it is much cheaper than a trip to the Maldives, making it a fantastic tropical destination accessible from the UK without leaving Europe.

Equally impressive are the historical medieval towns of Albania.

The capital, Tirana, is a vibrant and interesting city with plenty of affordable bars and cafes.

Drinks here are very affordable: beer for £1 and wine for £3.50, and the parties carry on until late at night, making it a great place for group trips.

In Ksamili, I recommend staying at the IONI-AN Ksamil hotel for £46 per night.

Flight ticket to Madeira with Jet2 for £129

Madeira is called 'The Hawaii of Europe' due to its palm-covered hills and volcanic landscapes, offering opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking and surfing.

This Portuguese island is actually closer to the Canary Islands with a similar climate, featuring mild subtropical weather year-round.

As this lesser-known archipelago has fewer flights from the UK than the popular Canary Islands, packages can be quite expensive, deterring tourists.

However, Madeira is a beautiful destination with dramatic coastlines, cozy bays, and friendly locals who are happy to share their culture.

Norse and EasyJet offer flights to Madeira at competitive prices starting from £99 round trip.

We found tickets for the October break for £129 round trip, so if you want a relaxing family vacation, booking a trip here would be an excellent choice.

Stay at the Casa da Capelinha hotel located in the picturesque bay of Ponta-Delgada.

The hotel is a bit further from the center but is perfect for an island getaway, offering much more than you would expect from a three-star hotel.

Room prices start at £100 per night on booking.com. The hotel features its own beach and an infinity pool - a wonderful option for relaxation.

Flight ticket to Bangkok with Norse Atlantic for £483

Far-eastern Thailand may seem like an exotic destination, but between you and it is only the ticket.

With tickets to Bangkok from Norse starting at £483, your trip to the Land of Smiles could become a reality.

Norse offers an interactive pricing policy where you can pay separately for tickets, seats, baggage, and in-flight services, making traveling significantly cheaper than with 'expensive' airlines.

Even if you upgrade to Premium Economy, the cost will be similar to economy class on other carriers like British Airways or Thai Airways.

In addition, you will not spend a lot on-site, as the city offers numerous opportunities: street markets, palaces, temples, affordable food, and vibrant nightlife.

A meal in Bangkok costs only £5 if you choose local eateries or street vendors. Alcohol is also inexpensive - £2 for beer and 'happy hours' that last practically all day.

Moreover, Bangkok is the gateway to other amazing and exotic Thai destinations like Koh Samui, Koh Tao, and Koh Chang.

For adventure lovers, the bus route to Koh Chang from Bangkok costs only £10. If you want to get there faster, there is an option to switch to a local flight on Bangkok Airlines for about £70.

In Bangkok, stay at the Lamon Vivit hotel, located near the Grand Palace, offering family rooms from just £29 per night.

Flight ticket to Jamaica with TUI for £641 (including transfers and a hotel for seven days)

Many people are even unaware that you can reach the Caribbean with a budget airline.

TUI offers great deals on a range of tropical faraway destinations, such as Antigua, Tobago, Jamaica, and Barbados.

Prices are even more attractive when considering TUI's packages, which include baggage, transfers, flights, and hotels.

This great deal for a flight from Birmingham to Montego Bay, Jamaica, offers seven nights at the Coco La Palm Seaside Resort in Negril for just £641 per person.

The hotel is located on the famous beach of Jamaica: just a 20-minute walk to the center of Negril. The facility impresses with lush green areas and two large pools.

Flight ticket to Cape Town with Norse Airlines for £319

South Africa is a popular tourist destination, but you can reach beautiful Cape Town for a lower price than to some places in Europe.

Norse Airlines announced its direct flight to Cape Town last year, and it has been a great success among Brits who want to explore this charming place without large expenses.

Cape Town is a great base for exploring famous attractions: Table Mountain, Camps Bay, Dolphin Beach, and safari tours in the Gondwana reserve.

Tickets for November start at £319, and this is the ideal time to visit as the weather is usually dry and sunny before the hot summer begins.

The village of Camps Bay is located in a wonderful spot by the beach, with some rooms offering sea views. Prices from £79 per night make it a great offer for those who want to enjoy South Africa without spending a fortune.
