European beach holiday pricing 2026
Entities: Algarve · Romania · Sunny Beach · Portugal · Black Sea coast
Overview
In early July, a report highlighted that Bulgaria’s popular seaside resorts were seeing higher visitor prices and featured a lineup of summer festivals, signalling a cost increase for holidaymakers.
By late July, a broader analysis compared beach‑vacation expenses across several European destinations. It detailed weekend costs on Romania’s Black Sea coast, ranging from budget accommodation to upscale hotels, and listed typical meal, fuel and ancillary expenses. The study also ranked family‑friendly beaches, naming Portugal’s Algarve as the most affordable, with Bulgaria’s Sunny Beach following, while Italy’s Sorrento and Portugal’s Madeira were among the pricier spots. The later snapshot therefore expanded the focus from a single country’s rising costs to a continent‑wide view of price variations and currency effects for summer 2026 beach tourism.
