These are officially the cheapest long-haul holiday destinations for 2025

"The 17th annual Long Haul Holiday Report from Post Office Travel Money is one such resource to help travellers plan their trips affordably. The report examines various everyday costs to showcase where the local currency goes furthest. For 2025, these factors include the average prices of a cup of coffee, a bottle/can of Coca-Cola, plus the costs of a local beer,"

"wine, and a cocktail in a café/bar. Other costs assessed include a bottle of still mineral water, a bottle of sun cream from a supermarket, insect repellent, and, perhaps most importantly, the price of a three-course evening meal for two adults with a bottle of house wine."

"Although sterling has fallen from its high point earlier this year and there are concerns about possible volatility this autumn, it's important to note that it is stronger against most currencies than a year ago. Furthermore, local prices are stable in most of the destinations we surveyed, with falls in over 40 per cent of them, so the prospects for winter sun holidaymakers look bright - especially in many Far Eastern and Caribbean countries where a combination of these factors means reduced prices for British travellers."

Short-haul travel offers many cost-saving options such as last-minute strategic flight bookings, cheaper European city breaks, and alternative transport like trains. Long-haul holidays require substantial planning, annual leave and money, but careful research can mitigate costs. The 17th annual Long Haul Holiday Report from Post Office Travel Money compares everyday local prices to show where currency value goes furthest. The 2025 assessment covers coffee, Coca-Cola, local beer, wine, cocktails, bottled water, supermarket sun cream, insect repellent and the price of a three-course evening meal for two with a bottle of house wine. Sterling is lower than earlier this year but stronger than a year ago, and local prices are stable or falling in many destinations, improving prospects for winter sun, notably in parts of the Far East and the Caribbean.
