Our experience:
In Indonesia, this is the start of the high season. Bali's climate is becoming significantly drier. During the month there may be about 7 rainy days, but showers will not interfere with rest - they are short-lived, after a couple of hours the sun appears in the sky again. The air temperature is kept within the range of + 28-33 ° С, the water temperature is + 26-28 ° С. So the beach holiday for tourists remains the main entertainment. At night on the island it is also very warm + 23-25 \u200b\u200b° С, air conditioning may be required. You can surf, dive into warm water with scuba diving and observe the amazing underwater world.
As the high season begins, all establishments are opening on the island, the purpose of which is to entertain tourists. You can watch local dances, performers will be dressed in national costumes - this is a real holiday, bright and colorful. There are many Russians living in Bali, so you can book excursions with a Russian-speaking guide. You will see the Bird and Reptile Park, plantations with rice or coffee, beautiful temples. Ubud is home to the arts and crafts center, so you'll leave with some great souvenirs.
The high season also begins in Malaysia. The air here remains hot + 30-34 ° С, but precipitation falls much less, and it is much easier to breathe in a dry climate. The sea water temperature is + 26-28 ° С, even children can swim for a long time. It is only important to remember that solar radiation is especially dangerous for delicate baby skin, it is better to sunbathe in the morning and evening hours. Malaysia has many natural and architectural attractions, so a rich excursion program awaits you.
You can visit national parks, see their amazing inhabitants, walk along the Sky Bridge, look at temples and mosques, and look into beautiful caves. Malaysia has a very special cuisine and you shouldn't miss the opportunity to get to know it. You will also be impressed by the fact that in some cafes food is served on banana leaves. Holidays in Malaysia will not be cheap, but the vivid impressions that you take away from here will pay off.
Mauritius in May is the "velvet season". At this time, it is worth coming here for those who cannot stand the heat, it will be good to have a rest with children. Surfers will always find waves to ride. And those who like to go shopping will enjoy the Shopping Festival, when prices for goods are significantly reduced - up to 50%. The air temperature is kept within + 28-29 ° С, at night - pleasant coolness + 20-21 ° С. Sea water is warmed up to + 26 ° С. Don't forget that the weather in Mauritius changes very quickly. It can rain unexpectedly in the middle of the day, so don't forget your umbrellas. The air humidity is rather high.
Scuba diving is a great pleasure for tourists. The underwater world is the richest here. And still very beautiful landscapes - grottoes and caves, thickets of corals. There are few tourists in Mauritius at this time, so you can book places in best hotels at discounted prices, and there will always be enough space on the beaches.
Also, May in Mauritius is the time of fashion shows, contests and various entertainment events.
This country is in full swing holiday season... Egypt is especially popular on holidays. The sun, which is not yet scorching like in summer, fresh greenery, and the exuberant bloom of flora make the rest here very comfortable. The statistics eloquently show that there is a large influx of tourists in May. Therefore, having planned a trip to the "cradle of humanity", you should book flights and a hotel early. There are practically no burning vouchers to Egypt. The Red Sea resorts (Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, El Gouna, Soma Bay) delight with warm sea water (+ 26 ° C), summer heat (+ 30-33 ° C), hot sand.
The sea is almost always calm, beach activities are quite diverse. Dive centers are open, there is equipment rental, yacht and boat rental.

During the day, the air warms up to + 30-31 ° С, the water temperature reaches + 23-24 ° С. Lovely white sandy beaches, many ancient prehistoric monuments, luxury hotels made Alexandria an elite resort for Europeans.
The rich cultural and entertainment program brings an interesting variety to the rest. The city of El Alamein is famous for its resort infrastructure and entertainment. Luxurious 4 and 5 star hotels, built in the form of circular complexes, have been transformed into mini oases with magnificent swimming pools surrounded by palm trees and flowers. Amazing with beaches and breathtaking landscapes Marina is a resort, consisting of 3 villages. No, it's not for nothing that Egypt is considered the cradle of humanity.

Pros of the resort:
The downsides include the continuous flow of tourists and the intrusiveness of local sellers.
The country is unaware of severe cold and frost. Here the laws of hospitality are sacred. In May, forecasters promise a temperature of at least + 27-30, and water + 22-25. But the beach season will be open only by the middle of the month, when the sea water warms up to the +25 mark.

Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to have a luxurious vacation, but there are budget options, and quite good ones. It is worth paying special attention to trips to Greece and Thailand.
This is one of those resorts at the end of the spring season, in May 2018 with the kids on the sea abroad. In Greece, you can not only lie on the sand near the sea, but also visit many places that in reality look much more interesting than the television screen shows.

While in this country, you just need to visit some sights. After all, the Turkish land has retained in itself reminders of the most ancient civilizations (monuments of the Ottoman Empire, the Hittite kingdom, etc.).
All resorts are attractive in their own way. Where exactly it is worth to go on vacation in May 2018, everyone decides independently, taking into account preferences and financial capabilities. The main thing is that a trip abroad to the sea brings only positive impressions, vivid memories and helps to have a good rest.
Reading time: 5 minutes
So, vacation in May: looking for where to go and finding out how much it costs. Where to relax over a long weekend from 1 to 5? We tell you - you are planning!
May means May holidays, and, accordingly, a suitable period for another trip in the summer. Of course, a seaside vacation in May in the vastness of Russia can hardly be called a beach vacation, and therefore resorts where you can go to relax and swim are located only within airplane accessibility.
There is no need to explain that a beach vacation in May is a popular idea, and therefore you should buy a tour or tickets in advance. To explore all the possible offers from tour operators and compare prices for tours, take a look at:
They are our faithful assistants in organizing budget travel 🙂 As well as 10 rules for a profitable tour purchase. By the way, we have already chosen a tour for May in Spain!
Where to relax at sea in May?
Thinking about where to go to the sea in May, you can still stay in Southeast Asia, in the warmth of the sea / ocean you can be sure one hundred percent:
Another thing is that the holidays are short and it takes a long time to get there. An option, rather, for a full vacation.
Therefore, we look where closer. Rest in May abroad and in European countries is not excluded. At the beginning of the month, the beach season opens at:
The bar on the thermometer can creep up to + 25 ° C ... + 28 ° C, enough to sunbathe and cool with a couple of cocktails. But even in these directions there is a catch - the water does not have time to warm up at the same rate and invigorates the daredevils who decided to plunge, + 17 ° C ... + 18 ° C (except for Turkey and Cyprus, it is hotter there).
Where to spend your beach vacation in May 2020, so that a) fly for a short time, b) swim, and c) change your skin tone to golden? To choose from:
Turkey
For many of our compatriots, the answer to the question of where to go in May does not require long thinking. Of course, Turkey is one of the leaders in the tourism industry in both Europe and Asia.
We went to Turkey in May last year, from the 10th to the 20th.
We read before flying that there is still no heat and crowds of people, and swimming, except in the pool, will have to be postponed. What happened in practice: coolness in the mornings and evenings (so that it is comfortable in jeans), HEAT in the afternoon (it is easy to burn in the sun), struggle for food and sun loungers on the beach at lunchtime (that is, there are a lot of people) and daily swimming in the sea (it turns out that + 21ºС in the heat is very normal :)).
UAE

 |
We were in Dubai in December 2018 and wrote a full review about the trip (follow the link)
Of the options where to relax in May at sea, the UAE stands out. Firstly, because abroad, but the flight will not take long (5 hours), and secondly, the temperatures there - August Turkey will envy.
It is better to fly to the Emirates in the first half of May. More precisely, as early as possible the hellish baking season, which begins in June. Imagine how a country is roasted if at the beginning of May the air is + 33 ° C, and in the water + 28 ° C.
Where to go? You can choose from skyscraper Dubai, Sharjah bordering it, capital Abu Dhabi, budget Ras al-Khaimah, or slightly less hot, but "in the backyard" - Fujairah.
Tunisia
Tunisian ceramics
Tours to Tunisia in May delight tourists with their low cost - you can fly for 7 nights for 25,000 rubles per person.
In the second half of the month, it is already real summer here. True, only in the south (Djerba resort) the water in the sea by the middle of the month warms up to + 21 ° C (which is already faster than in most other countries), and a beach holiday starts.
In Sousse, Hammamet, Mahdia, the sea ranges from + 17 ° C to + 20 ° C. Seasoned extreme sports swimmers, while everyone else enjoys the warm sun and Moorish exoticism. I really want to see the Sahara desert, and from the reviews I realized that the best month for this excursion is just May. Tunisia, wait!
Cyprus
Cyprus is the homeland of the goddess of love Aphrodite. Not surprisingly, tourists come under the romantic influence of seclusion. Already in May, the sea in Cyprus is quite warm and comfortable, in the end the water warms up to + 23 ° C. There are both youth (Ayia Napa) and family-oriented (Paphos) resorts.
Cyprus, like Turkey, is the leader in the number of Russian holiday-makers, who are spread out on local beaches. And all because there is almost no visa and an adequate price tag for tours.
Greece
Our trip in June to Rhodes / In October - to Athens
The famous phrase "Greece has it all!" absolutely fair in relation to her resorts. There are many great places in the country that offer visitors all the opportunities for a beach holiday.
But in May ... Not every sun and tan lover will like the trip. First, the sea: at the beginning of May it was only warmed up to + 19 ℃, at the end - up to + 21 ℃. Secondly, life in resorts: we were in Rhodes in early June, and the island was still "waking up" after the low season - some cafes, restaurants and hotels were just opening. But on the other hand, May is especially comfortable for excursions, pleasant + 23 ℃ outside.
Israel
All beaches in Tel Aviv are free, but very well maintained - there are toilets, changing cabins, awnings
Israel in May is already real summer. Even in the Mediterranean Sea, the water temperature rises to + 25 ° C, and the water in the Dead Sea is + 30 ° C.
A beach holiday can be arranged in modern Tel Aviv - on the Mediterranean coast, in the tourist Eilat - on the Red Sea coast, and in the slightly retired Ein Bokek - the most popular resort in the Dead Sea.
Spain
We have been to Barcelona 3 times already, this is one of our favorite cities. We have an article about the route in Barcelona, \u200b\u200band about how to get from the airport for 1 euro 🙂
One of best countries on the Mediterranean! When we were planning a vacation in Spain in May, we still stopped in Barcelona, \u200b\u200band not in resort towns like Lloret de Mar or Salou. At this time, the tourist zone is boring - the sea is cool, there are no vacationers, and half of everything is still closed.
But the sights of Barcelona (as well as Malaga or Valencia) - the most to watch in the spring, when there is still no stuffiness and unbearable heat. In the photo, in principle, you can see how things are with the weather: in early May we wore a T-shirt and jeans, taking a shirt or sweatshirt for the evening. In the air, on average, + 20 ° C.
Well, and a beach vacation in May 2020 in its full force can be organized only on Canary Islands (Tenerife, Gran Canaria), where the water temperature (+ 20 ℃) \u200b\u200bmore or less allows you to plunge.
Italy
Our trip to Milan (Milan Cathedral + Gallery)
If you have not yet decided where to go for a vacation in May, but do not want to fly far, the best choice is Italian resorts. Italy is a country that was created in order to spend an unforgettable vacation here. Millions of tourists come here to enjoy the picturesque nature and wealth of attractions!
It will definitely be warm in May, but the situation with sea swims is not completely clear. Only one thing is known - the sea picks up the required temperature the fastest in Sicily (at the beginning of the month + 17 ℃, at the end + 20 ℃), and the resort that is 100% suitable for water procedures is Ischia and the like, with hot thermal springs.
Thailand
In Southeast Asia, I first appeared in early May - in Thailand, Phuket. I remember thinking "y-yes, this weather is not for me." It was stuffy, hot, and even after sunset, the air was sticky and somehow heavy.
Later I learned that May in Phuket and Pattaya is a transition period to the rainy season, when the humidity rises sharply. You don’t attach such importance in words, but having gone to Tai in February, I understood the difference, how fresh it can be on the street in high season :)
About the rains: in 10 days they went five times at night and once during the day - strong, noisy, but only for 20 minutes. Rainlessness can be guaranteed on the islands of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, where the weather allows you to relax from February to August.
Vietnam
 |
 |
Where to go to the sea in May to make it like in Thailand? Unlike the latter, the tourist season in Vietnam starts closer to summer. Let us clarify that only in its central part - in Nha Trang, the most developed by the Russians.
The weather is typical for Southeast Asia: the air temperature is stable over + 30 ° C, the sea is heated to + 29 ° C. It rarely rains (and I really want to).
In Nha Trang, you will not get bored - in addition to the beaches, the must-visit program includes islands, excursions to Hanoi and Dalat, and - best of the best - Vinpearl amusement park with a tremendous cable car (Sochi was not near) ...
China (Hainan)
Package tours from Russia to China have been suspended.
Hainan is still "holding on" in May. In the first half of the month everything is so good - the weather is favorable, and the sea is calm and warm (+ 28 ° C), and there is no rain.
The island is a worthy alternative to both Vietnam and Thailand. Plus, the destination itself is not so "hackneyed", and a visa is not needed. And if you consider that Hainan intends to introduce an all-inclusive system in hotels following the example of Turkey, it seems that it seriously claims the title of Asian resort number 1. This means that it only gets better and better!
We went to the island of Nusa Penida, near Bali
Bali has a solid reputation as an “island paradise”. This is one of the most acceptable options for vacation abroad in May 2020 for those who love tropical nature with "wild" landscapes, elements and juicy fruits. Well, of course, for those who wish to get on the board (surfing)!
The high season starts on the island in May. There is no rain, the air is + 29 ° C ... + 30 ° C, the ocean is also heated up to + 30 ° C, but swimming in Bali is difficult because of the large waves and rocky bottom.
The most expensive thing is to fly to Bali (air tickets cost from 35,000 to 40,000 rubles per person). And living on the island is cheap: you rent a room / villa on Airbnb for ≈1500 rubles per day for two, eat in a cafe for 150-200 rubles per person, ride a bike for ≈150 rubles per day (if you rent for 2 weeks or more ).
Where to go in Russia?

Climbed Rosa Khutor
Is it always necessary to go abroad, as they say, to the distant lands, to the sea, if it is nearby?
Some people think about where to rest in Russia in May, and they are absolutely right. Among - Anapa, Tuapse, Sochi, Gelendzhik, Lazarevskoe, Adler - the beaches are already waiting for the first vacationers. It is a pity that only beaches, not water! It is still chilly for a relaxing splash, but you can substitute swimming in the pool, jacuzzi and saunas for a dip in the sea. Rest on the sea in May also attracts tourists who pursue health goals. Numerous health resorts provide a variety of firming and massage treatments.
Vacation at sea in May - weather
It also opens the beach season in May, but it's still pretty cool there. The beach season in this country practically coincides with the Russian one, the only difference is in the purity of the sea and the ratio of price and quality.
Jordan
The Dead Sea is the place that, along with its healing mud and waters, awaits in May those who want not only to relax, but also to heal. Jordan will welcome its guests with wonderful sunny weather and warm sea. Beaches, mysterious caves of Petra, coral reefs of the Red Sea and ancient monuments will not leave indifferent those who go on vacation to experience.
Bus tours in Europe
It is much easier to move around the Europeans in May than in other months. Warm, but not yet hot, it's time for bus tours in France, Italy, Portugal and Spain. And walking along the old streets without fear of rain is much more comfortable in spring than at other times of the year, when precipitation, frost or heat drive tourists into four walls under a life-saving air conditioner or closer to a warm radiator.
If rain is not something that can dampen your travel cravings, then May Scandinavia and the fields of blooming tulips are a great choice for the traveler. And what is rain compared to the pleasure that everyone will get by looking at the beauty that surrounds him?
Not everyone loves the sun and heat. Do not feed someone with bread, but let them find themselves in the cool, and even rain is not a hindrance to them. For such travelers, the Baltic countries offer their programs. At +15 ° C, frying will definitely not work, and the weather at this time there is extremely unpredictable.
Czech Republic and Poland - countries for quite budget travel... But since lovers sightseeing rest for a lot of money, you need to book the tour in advance.Exotic islands
Mauritius
If the popular resorts have already set their teeth on edge, and finances allow, then you have a direct path to Mauritius - look into the mouth of the volcano, try exotic dishes, gain new impressions. In May, Mauritius has very comfortable weather: although the air does not warm up above + 20 ° C during the day, due to the lack of winds it is not cold there.
Seychelles
The world's largest coconut palms and a famous bird sanctuary await tourists in the Seychelles. The heat in May is slowly subsiding there, and the air temperature is approaching a comfortable one. Danube, Dnieper, Seine - comfortable cabins, rich excursion program and the most vivid impressions await vacationers everywhere.
