A new study by Post Office Travel Money has shown that some popular winter sun destinations are now cheaper than they were a year ago.

For example, Hoi An, a charming old town on the coast of Vietnam, is the cheapest destination this year. A cup of coffee there will cost vacationers only 1.36 pounds sterling, Express reports.

A can of Coca-Cola costs an average of only 98 pence, while a three-course meal for two adults with wine costs only £34.03. Falling local prices and the value of the Vietnamese dong have led to a 20 percent drop in spending since August last year.

The second place was taken by Mombasa, a coastal resort in Kenya. Cape Town rounded out the top three.

The cheapest destinations for a winter vacation under the sun in 2023:

  • Hoi An, Vietnam
  • Mombasa, Kenya
  • Cape Town, South Africa
  • Bali, Indonesia
  • Tokyo, Japan
  • Delhi, India
  • Phuket, Thailand
  • Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt
  • Penang, Malaysia
  • Colombo, Sri Lanka
