Destination 7: Greece
Country number seven is Greece. Greece is famous for its stunning beaches, crystal clear waters, and rich history. So naturally, it's a hot spot for travelers everywhere — and it can cost you an arm and a leg — but with some clever planning, it can be budget-friendly, too. Check out these five gorgeous beach destinations for some affordable beach vibes.
Crete
The largest island in Greece is known for its rich history, delicious cuisine and affordable beach destinations. Elafonisi Beach, with its pink sand and shallow turquoise waters, is a must-visit spot on the west coast of Crete.
This really amazing small-group tour takes you to Elafonisi Beach and Falasarna Beach from Chania. If you’re seeking more secluded spots, Balos Lagoon offers breathtaking views with limited facilities at no cost.
If you’re willing to step away from the beach for a while (I know — hard!), I recommend this Cretan Wines, Olive Oil, Raki and Food Tour run by a local family.
🌞 Budget-friendly places to stay on Crete
Want to live the high life on a low budget in Crete? Who needs expensive resorts when you've got hotel options like these: search hotels on Crete. And let’s not forget hostels. Matala Hostel and Rethymno Hostel are worth checking out.
Naxos
This charming island may be less famous than others in the Cyclades, making it an ideal budget-friendly destination with pristine beaches to explore. Agios Prokopios Beach is often ranked as one of the best beaches in Europe due to its white sands and crystal-clear water.
And, if you're feeling adventurous, head to Plaka Beach on the East Coast, where you can try windsurfing or kitesurfing. This area is known for its long sandy beaches and tranquil atmosphere — the perfect spot for some much-needed R&R.
When you’re ready for some food and wine, consider this wonderful Naxos town food tour with tastings and wine. Seriously good! Okay, okay. I have one more: This family-operated farm runs a fab woodfire cooking class.
🌞 Budget-friendly places to stay on Naxos
Nexos knows how to keep it real without breaking the bank. Check out affordable accommodation on Naxos. I recommend the cutest, great-value apartments just a stroll away from St. George Beach: Evilion Luxury Apartments. Around the bend near Aghios Beach, I recommend Margaret of Naxos.
Rhodes
Another top destination in Greece that offers both historical sites and idyllic beaches without breaking the bank is Rhodes Island.
Anthony Quinn Bay stands out among other beaches on this island thanks to its emerald-green waters surrounded by rocky cliffs.
You can also visit Tsambika Beach, a long stretch of golden sand with shallow waters and numerous tavernas nearby, serving delicious food at reasonable prices. Or nip over to the gorgeous Symi Island and St George's Bay on a high-speed boat.
🌞 Budget-friendly places to stay on Rhodes
Who needs pricey resorts when you can crash at these charming little spots? Explore budget-friendly accommodation in Rhodes. The Island Blue Hotel in Pefkos is a good all-rounder option and the Mazoren Art Hotel in Faliraki is worth checking out.
Zakynthos
This Ionian Island is famous for its stunning beaches and the iconic Navagio (Shipwreck) Beach, which is boat-only access, so it needs a little planning.
However, there are other budget-friendly options on this island, such as Gerakas Beach, known for its crystal-clear waters and sandy shore, where you’ll spot some turtles laying their eggs in the summer months if you’re lucky.
🌞 Budget-friendly places to stay on Zakynthos
Live like a queen or a king on a peasant's budget in Zakynthos. Explore budget-friendly accommodation on Zakynthos. The Katerina Palace Hotel in Argassi has some great off-season deals. A great adults-only hotel (hello—no kids splashing in the pool!) is Avalon Hotel overlooking Zakynthos town.
Santorini
Despite being one of Greece's most popular tourist destinations, Santorini still has some hidden gems that won't break your budget. The island boasts beautiful black sand beaches, such as Perissa and Kamari, where you can sunbathe or dip in the Aegean Sea for free.
You can also explore Red Beach, famous for its red cliffs and turquoise waters, by walking down from Fira instead of taking a boat tour. If you don’t mind splurging a little for the right experience, this Santorini Catamaran Cruise is great.
🌞 Budget-friendly places to stay on Santorini
High life, low budget! Forget the pricey resorts; I've got Santorini charm on a shoestring. Who's with me? Explore budget-friendly accommodation on Santorini. Atlantis Beach Villa, which is right on the black sandy beach of Perivolos, is a good-value option. If you’re traveling with a family, Villa Michalis in Vlychada looks good, although I haven’t been there. If you like things cheap and social, check out Chrissi Ammos hostel.

Destination 6: Mexico
Mexico is known for its stunning beaches with crystal-clear waters, vibrant culture, and delicious food. While there’s no doubt that Mexico is becoming increasingly more expensive, it still offers beauty and relaxation without breaking the bank. Here are three destinations where you can still find beach bliss in Mexico without breaking the bank.
Playa del Carmen
Just south of Cancun lies Playa del Carmen, a beautiful coastal town with stunning beaches and a crazy cool nightlife scene. It’s a popular destination that offers loads of affordable accommodation options and a good remote work scene.
Plus, you can easily walk or take public transport to nearby attractions like Tulum's ancient ruins or Cozumel Island. There’s a lot you can do on your own, but I do think this small-group local tour is a must when visiting Playa del Carmen. It books out quickly, though.
🌞 Budget-friendly places to stay in Playa del Carmen
Why spend a fortune when you can get cozy in Playa del Carmen without breaking the bank? 🌴😎 Check out good value accommodation options here. My fave? Hostels: I always choose The Colorado or The Green Village. Hotels? I’m a boutique hotel girl all the way, so I find the Balkon Boutique Hotel quite good (although a little out of the way) and Hotelito del Mar which is only a 10 min walk from the beach.
Puerto Escondido
Surf's up in Puerto Escondido, the ultimate destination for budget-friendly beach vibes and epic waves. The main attraction is Zicatela Beach. Known for its massive waves, it’s a surfer’s paradise. If you’re a beginner, don’t worry; La Punta Beach offers smaller, more manageable waves that are perfect for learning the ropes. Local surf schools offer affordable lessons.
Accommodations here are as chill as the town itself. Whether you’re into rustic beach huts, budget hostels, or quaint guesthouses, you’ll find plenty of affordable options. Many places offer communal kitchens, so you can save even more by whipping up your own meals.
Before you leave, head over to the nearby National Turtle Center in Mazunte, where you can learn about (and even help release) baby sea turtles into the ocean.
🌞 Budget-friendly places to stay in Puerto Escondido
Live like a local without going broke in Puerto Escondido! 🏄♀ Hostels & hammocks over high-end hotels any day. 💪 Explore great-value accommodation. I recommend the very central Puerto Dreams Hostel.
Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta is a picturesque beach town on Mexico's Pacific coast known for its vibrant nightlife and bohemian vibe. It's also home to some great beaches like Los Muertos and Conchas Chinas.
Three of my favorite things to do in Puerto Vallarta are 1) drink tequila and eat tacos 2) go paddling somewhere beautiful 3) discover lesser-known places. I also have an eye on this Bean to Bar Chocolate Workshop for the next time I visit. Pro tip: You can save a good amount of money by taking advantage of happy hour deals at local bars and restaurants.
🌞 Budget-friendly places to stay in Puerto Vallarta
Saving your money for tacos and tequila? 🌮🌮Same! Here's where you can stay in Puerto Vallarta without spending a fortune: explore accommodation. My top picks? That’s a hard one... Casa Krakan Hostel is basic but cosy and friendly. Oasis Hostel is clean and charming with nice hosts.

Destination 5: Bali, Indonesia
Bali is a popular destination famous for its picturesque landscapes, stunning beaches, fun things to do, and rich cultural heritage.
Your stay in Bali can be extremely cheap or extremely expensive. The island caters to every type of traveler, which might be one of the reasons for its enduring appeal.
You can absolutely have a fantastic holiday in Bali for less than USD $600 per week per person — I’ve done this myself (many times). Here are six affordable beach destinations in and around Bali that you can’t miss.
Amed
If diving into a world of vibrant marine life without emptying your wallet sounds like your kind of adventure, Amed Beach is your place. Known for its crystal-clear waters and colorful coral reefs, Amed is a snorkeler’s paradise — just walk in from the rocky beach, and you’re immersed in an underwater coral jungle.
I’ve been to Amed a few times, and I always have a blast. All you need to do is rent snorkel gear for a small fee, and you're set to explore. This Amed underwater snorkeling experience is pretty good, too.
And when it comes to accommodations, Amed has plenty of budget-friendly options scattered between the more expensive hotels. Think cozy guesthouses and beachfront bungalows where you can fall asleep to the gentle sound of waves.
🌞 Budget-friendly places to stay in Amed
Who knew paradise could be so affordable? Search for great value accommodation in Amed. If you want to spend only a few bucks a night on accommodation, the Dhitabila Dive & Bungalow is your place. I like a few creature comforts, so I lean towards places like the Kembali Beach Bungalows and Amed Harmony Bungalows, which are basic but charming.
Echo Beach
Echo Beach is where surf meets sunset, and your wallet stays happily intact. This beach is a magnet for surfers and sunset aficionados. The waves here are a dream for surfers, whether you’re a pro or a newbie. Board rentals are easy on the budget.
But surfing isn’t the only attraction. As the day winds down, I recommend you lounge at one of the beachside cafes, sip a cold drink, and watch the sky perform its nightly magic trick.
🌞 Budget-friendly places to stay in Echo Beach
Live your best life without emptying your wallet in Echo Beach. 🏄♀ Forget fancy hotels; hostels, guest houses, and boutique hotels are where the real fun's at. Explore budget-friendly places here. Recommendations? Spaces Boutique Hotel has cute cottages scattered around a pool and is close to the beach. Villa Lovecho has comfy beds, lovely staff, and a great pool (the location is good too).
Lovina Beach
Lovina isn’t about the bustling nightlife; it’s all about relaxation and local charm. It’s your go-to spot for a dolphin show. Hop on a small boat, watch the waves gently lapping at the sides, and then—bam!—dolphins leap out of the water, putting on a spectacle that could give SeaWorld a run for its money. And guess what? It won’t cost you an arm and a leg. Nice, right? This snorkeling, swimming, and dolphin spotting local tour is good value.
After admiring dolphins, wander along the black sand beach. It’s quieter than Bali’s more famous shores, giving you space to breathe and truly soak in the moment. When your stomach starts to growl, head over to one of the local warungs and overindulge in a Nasi Goreng — so tasty! Wash it down with a Bintang beer.
🌞 Budget-friendly places to stay in Lovina Beach
Saving your money for drinks on the beach and hanging out with dolphins? Smart! Save on accommodation and spend it where it counts: having fun! Search great-value places to stay at the super chill Lovina Beach. Recommendations? Enjoy local hospitality at Srinadi Guest House or Taman Lily's Hotel (incredible value).
Canggu Beach
Just a stroll down from Echo Beach, Canggu Beach provides a more laid-back and bohemian vibe than the more popular tourist beaches down south. It’s where you'll find affordable accommodations ranging from budget guesthouses to trendy hostels that cater to the younger crowd and digital nomads. The beach also offers great surf spots and stunning sunset views. What to do in Canggu? Learn to surf, of course! I’ve also got an eye on this jewelry-making class.
🌞 Budget-friendly places to stay in Canggu
Embrace cheap sleeps and big smiles in Canggu! There are a lot of places to stay in Canggu (but not all of them are great). Check out budget-friendly accommodation here (read the reviews carefully). Here are a few recommendations: Get social at Lay Day Hostel or the Jungle House, or opt for cosy cottage vibes at Kubudiuma Villas.
Gili Islands
I love the Gili Islands. The three Gili Islands off the coast of Bali are a treasure trove of affordable accommodation options. You can lounge around in charming bungalows nestled among swaying palm trees starting at USD $20 per night. You’ve got Gili Trawangan (more party vibe), Gili Meno (more romantic), and Gili Air (just chill).
You'll love the diverse range of things to do, like snorkeling, bike riding from beach to beach, snacking on street food, walking along scenic paths, sunset yoga sessions, and beachfront bonfires under the stars.
If you want to see the Islands but continue to stay on the mainland, think about taking this very affordable private Gili Island tour.
Lombok
Lombok Island — just a hop, skip, and jump from Bali and the Gili Islands — is renowned for its stunning landscapes and vibrant culture and offers a variety of affordable accommodation options. You can snag budget-friendly homestays and guesthouse accommodations in local villages like Senggigi or Kuta Lombok for just a few bucks.
When it comes to things to do on Lombok, explore the breathtaking waterfalls such as Tiu Kelep and Sendang Gile, trek up the majestic Mount Rinjani for panoramic views, or relax on pristine beaches like Selong Belanak and Pink Beach. For the ultimate local experience, hire a local driver to take you around the island (super affordable and super fun…and you’ll be helping to support a local family).
🌞 Budget-friendly places to stay in Lombok
From (really cheap) and cheerful guesthouses to cosy mid-range boutique hotels, you’ll never be stuck for a place to crash. And it’ll probably include a free breakfast, stellar views and the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. Find your best deals here.

Destination 1: Malaysia
Top of my list is Malaysia. Surprised? With over 800 islands dotting its coastline, Malaysia has no shortage of scenic beaches to choose from — but it’s often forgotten.
There are so many accommodation options, the locals are friendly, English is widely spoken, and the food is fabulous and affordable. And if that’s not enough, the country has so many great blue water destinations.
In my humble opinion, here are four of the coolest beach destinations in Malaysia.
Langkawi Island
Located on the west coast of Malaysia, Langkawi is an archipelago with 99 islands surrounded by crystal-clear waters and lush rainforests.
Langkawi boasts some of Malaysia's most beautiful and affordable beaches, making it a must-visit destination for budget travelers. The Island is a little touristy in parts, but don’t let that scare you — it won’t stop you from having a good time.
Pantai Cenang and Pantai Tengah are two popular beaches on the island with affordable accommodation options such as guesthouses and homestays. You can indulge in a little snorkeling, island hopping tours, or simply lazing around on the pristine white sand beaches.
Perhentian Islands
I love the Perhentian Islands. Located off the coast of northeastern Malaysia, Pulau Perhentian consists of two main islands: Pulau Perhentian Besar (the Big Island) and Pulau Perhentian Kecil (the Small Island).
These islands are renowned for their untouched beauty, with turquoise blue waters teeming with marine life and powdery white sandy beaches lined with palm trees.

Redang Island is another gem on the east coast of Malaysia, known for its crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches, and pristine coral reefs.
The island has a slightly more upmarket reputation than neighboring islands but still offers affordable accommodations, such as hostels and guesthouses.
