Accommodation in Asia

Between the Mediterranean, the Himalayas, steppe, tropical islands and the metropolises of East Asia, landscape, everyday life and cuisine change in impressive ways. This page helps you find the right subregion and then move directly into the countries.

Choose Asia by travel feeling

Start not with a ranking, but with the question of what you want to experience: coast or mountains, cities or nature, cuisine or active holidays. The following regions place all 49 countries and territories of the continent in a readable context.

West Asia: coasts, deserts and ancient cultural routes

Mediterranean coasts, the Caucasus, desert landscapes and cities that are thousands of years old lie within a culturally especially diverse region. Climate and distances differ greatly.

As concrete travel destinations, the country pages lead on to Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Georgia, Iraq, Israel and Yemen. There you can explore regions and places in line with your own travel theme.

Further perspectives in this subregion are opened up by Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine and Saudi Arabia. This keeps the continental overview readable while each country remains directly accessible.

For a more precise selection, you will also find Syria, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and Cyprus. Compare landscape, season and a suitable accommodation base there.

How to find your accommodation in Asia

After you have chosen a country and region, check the location in relation to the coast, city or natural landscape you want. A holiday apartment is especially suitable if you want to organize your daily rhythm and meals flexibly; for round trips, several short bases are often more practical than a single central location.

To do this, open one of the linked country pages. There, further regional and local pages lead step by step to the right travel base.

Frequently asked questions about travel in Asia

Which country is right for my trip?

First choose the landscape, the experiences you want and the time of year. After that, you can compare the countries of a subregion without forcing completely different destinations into a ranking.

When is the best time to travel?

There is no single travel season for an entire continent. Climate, altitude, rainy seasons and regional holiday periods should always be checked for the specific country.

Holiday apartment or round trip?

A fixed holiday apartment is well suited to intensive exploration of a limited area. For long distances, a route with several carefully selected locations is usually more practical.
