From choosing your ideal destinations, to lining up what restaurants and bars you want to experience, there’s always plenty of organising to do.

The most expensive holiday destinations in the world and the cheapest - Overview

Our research gives us a lot of useful information for travellers who are looking for a fantastic holiday within their budget. Some results didn’t come as a surprise, Dubai is renown for its ultra luxurious accommodation and atmosphere so it’s not shocking that it was our most expensive destination. Also no surprise was <a href='/en/united-states/new-york'>New York</a> taking the top position for most expensive place to have a meal for 2, costing on average £54.93. New York is famous for its amazing culinary culture, so that price might be worth trying its many tasty treats; creamy cheesecakes, authentic New York pizza and bagels and of course, the classic American burger! There were however some surprising results. Botswana had the second most expensive hotel room prices per night, but managed to take the top spot for the cheapest taxi charges at £0.73 per 3km! Marrakesh which placed fourth for the most expensive destination overall, surprisingly placed first for the cheapest meals for two with an average £10.18. Antalya and Gran Canaria were among the places that retained their ground as mid-level holiday options across all boards. Their average costs make them great holiday destinations for families, couples and solos! For sun and value, we'd look no further than the likes of <a href='/en/portugal/faro-airport'>Faro</a> or Bangkok, but flights to the latter may put you off. Ideally, we would never have to worry about the cost of a holiday and could go wherever we please budget-free. However, for most of us, sticking to a realistic budget is not only necessary, it’s vital to planning and enjoying our much anticipated annual holidays. So whether you want to go big on holiday or keep it low-key, choosing the right destination to suit your can be the most important step in planning your amazing trip.
