Budget-Friendly Beach Getaways in Europe: Seeking Recommendations
 
Hello fellow travelers,

I'm planning a brief solo trip to enjoy some beach time before a busy academic year begins. I'm looking for affordable beach destinations in Europe, with a budget of around 7000-9000 SEK for accommodation (excluding flights), for 5-7 days. Here are some additional details and considerations.

- Warm Weather: I’m aiming for a sunny beach destination.

- Accommodation: Looking for 4-5 star hotels with amenities such as a pool and ideally a spa feature like a water blade cascade.

- Inclusions: Breakfast included would be a plus.

Given that my local currency (SEK) is strong against several European currencies, I’m also considering places where my money might go further.

- Hungarian Forint (HUF): 1 SEK = 34.67 HUF

- Icelandic Krona (ISK): 1 SEK = 13.13 ISK

- Russian Ruble (RUB): 1 SEK = 8.29 RUB

- Czech Koruna (CZK): 1 SEK = 2.20 CZK

While Eurozone destinations are still an option, I am open to exploring these alternatives too.

Questions are:
1. Any suggestions for affordable beach towns or cities in the European region?

2. Are there specific hotels that meet the criteria of being budget-friendly and having the amenities mentioned?

3. Any additional advice for a solo traveler on a budget looking for a relaxing beach getaway?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Budget (very) friendly: Albania. Check Durrės, or Vlorė.
I haven't been myself but my nephew just got back and was very enthusiastic.
