The Canary Islands and the Mediterranean region will be slightly colder, but still much warmer than in Russia.
1. New Year in the Canary Islands
Why here? A great option to go to celebrate the New Year - 2020: romantic, not the most typical and relatively cheap.

For the new year 2020 to warm countries: where to go, TOP countries
It is no secret that the bulk of tourists prefer to relax in the summer, when the sea is warm, when the sun is warm and you can lie on the white sand. but from summer to summer it is very long, so people are looking for options to visit the sea in winter and feel its warmth. Tours for the new year are especially popular. After all, it is so unusual to meet the beginning of the new year near the sea and on the sand, and not near the TV at home and with snow outside the window. But where can you go for the new year 2020 to warm countries, so that it is inexpensive, but hot and the sea is warm? In fact, there are many options, and it is difficult to choose here. Let's try together to understand in which country it is best to celebrate the new year 2020, so that it will be remembered for a lifetime.
Hainan is the winter heat capital!
When people in Russia wait for the chimes and open champagne, on the island of Hainan they enjoy the sun and warmth. In December and early January at local resorts, the average daily temperature is above +22 degrees. But the sea is completely hot, up to +25 degrees! Why is the sea temperature higher than the air temperature? And everything is simple - water flows to the shores of Hainan from the shores of Thailand and other countries, where there are real tropics in winter. She does not have time to cool down and comes to the shores of the Chinese island warm and pleasant for swimming.
What to do in Hainan this time of year? First, you can swim. And although the locals do not like to swim in winter, for them the water is +25 degrees cool, tourists are happy to accept the sea and splash in it. Also on the island you can see nature reserves and enjoy solitude with nature. And if you enjoy exploring other cultures, then sightseeing is a must.
As for prices, they are much cheaper here than in spring or summer. Still, there are not so many tourists, and they are all mainly from our country or from Asian countries. So local hotels try to lure them over to themselves and reduce prices for ridiculous. Holidays for the new year in Hainan is a great start to the new year!
Dubai - prices are the same. Service is many times higher!
If you fly to Dubai, then it is for the new year. the city is located on the shores of the Persian Gulf. There are chic hotels, incredible beaches, and a lot of water. Water is everywhere: in the sea, in pools near hotels and in the city in the form of fountains.
According to statistics, 13% of tourists from Russia who leave for the new year in other countries choose Dubai.
The UAE has the same time zone as Moscow, but the climate is completely different. In the winter months, there is no stifling heat here, and there are no hot winds that bring dust and sand. The average air temperature in Dubai during the day is not higher than +28 degrees. And the sea in the bay is +24 degrees. Tourists who come here sunbathe more on the sand. but there are those who bathe with joy and enjoy it. True, it is best to swim in the pool, where the water is heated by the sun's rays and heated artificially. And if your hotel has a rooftop pool, then you should definitely relax there.
What else to do in Dubai in December-January? Shopping, of course! These days, when it is Christmas in Europe and New Year in Russia, local shops and shopping centers are organizing huge sales. If you have time and you are lucky, then you will buy a quality item for a penny! Millions of guests come here for sales, so this is not a hobby, but more of a sport, where the winner is the one who succeeds first.
In recent years, an interesting situation has developed in the tourism markets. Most of all, for the new year, tourists prefer Egypt.

In the winter months, the air warms up to +33 degrees. The sea water is simply gorgeous up to +27 degrees. But the prices are not very encouraging. Still, the peak season, there are a lot of tourists and therefore prices tend to rise, as does the air temperature.

Such beaches are mainly located in bays where it is difficult to get. For example, you need to cross the rocks or swim in a boat. But this does not scare tourists, because such a vacation is a memory for a lifetime!
As you can see, for the new year, you can choose completely different directions. You can visit Asia, you can take a crazy flight to the other side of the world and enjoy the clear waters of the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean. Or you can, like 10% of Russians, stay at home and watch the Russian winter in the south of the country. The choice is yours, and there always is!
