✈️ Based on Agoda's forward-looking affordability projections for Summer 2025 (released in early 2025, analyzing preliminary booking data, economic trends, and historical patterns from June to August), the platform has updated its rankings to reflect emerging budget hotspots in Asia.
This year's report emphasizes destinations benefiting from post-pandemic recovery, improved budget airline routes, and seasonal promotions amid global inflation.
Notably, Surabaya, Indonesia, tops the list for the first time, driven by its ultra-low hotel rates, new direct flights from Southeast Asian hubs, and a surge in eco-tourism incentives.
✨ Here are the Top 9 Cheapest Summer Destinations in Asia 2025 ✈️🌏
1. 🇮🇩 Surabaya, Indonesia – $35
2. 🇮🇳 Tirupati, India – $37
3. 🇹🇭 Hat Yai, Thailand – $39
4. 🇻🇳 Dalat, Vietnam – $45
5. 🇵🇭 Iloilo, Philippines – $47
6. 🇲🇾 Kuching, Malaysia – $53
7. 🇯🇵 Nagoya, Japan – $90
8. 🇹🇼 Kaohsiung, Taiwan – $90
9. 🇰🇷 Daejeon, South Korea – $93
The rankings prioritize overall value, including accommodations under $60/night on average, flight deals, and local spending, making these spots ideal for cost-conscious travelers during the peak summer period.
Agoda's data predicts a 10–15% drop in average prices for these destinations compared to 2024, thanks to increased competition and off-peak weather patterns (e.g., monsoons reducing crowds).
All costs are projected averages in USD for mid-range stays, based on Agoda's 2025 insights.
Remember, these are estimates — actual prices may vary with demand, currency fluctuations, or events like festivals.
