Long haul holidays are a great way to travel the globe exploring foreign lands but they shouldn’t have to cost the earth.

Thankfully, the development of low cost travel and the advent of cheap holidays have meant that going long haul doesn’t have to be such a financially daunting prospect, with these top destinations offering you the life of luxury without breaking the bank.

Mexico

Travelling to the distant land of Mexico may have been previously confined to your dreams, but with cheaper flights and an increasing amount of affordable accommodation surfacing in the country, all inclusive Mexico holidays can be achieved on a budget.

In order for your money to go further in Mexico it is recommended to stay away from the larger resorts such as Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan. Greater value for money can be had in places that are away from the tourist traps, such as La Paz on the east coast of the Baja Peninsula.

Beautiful beaches with luxurious fine sand, authentic cuisine and affordable prices can be found in this active and entertaining town.

Goa

Goa has also been traditionally viewed as an expensive place to get to. However, Goa holidays can be achieved on a budget.

For example, staying in a Parvati beach hut with its own en-suite bathroom and free Wi-Fi internet, situated on the stunning Palolem beach in south Goa, offers accommodation that is certainly bordering on the luxury for extremely reasonable prices.

From spending the day relaxing on dreamy white sand beaches to being pampered at a health club such as the Zaara Luxury Spa, Goa has something for everyone. Luxuries such as visiting spas cost considerably less in Goa, meaning you can be treated like royalty without having a royal bank account to match!

Florida

If you are looking for a cheap holiday then you shouldn’t dismiss the prospect of holidays in Florida. Beyond the big theme parks and other major tourist attractions, Florida is bursting with exciting, family-friendly attractions at reasonable prices that won’t break the bank.

At Miami South Beach for example, you will find accommodation to fit most budgets – even those severely restricted ones. In addition to the beaches, Miami is bustling with great family attractions, such as Jungle Island, Miami Seaquarium and Miami Metro Zoo, which don’t cost much to visit and also offer discounted tickets to certain groups.
