Cebu in the Philippines has emerged as the most affordable island for Australian travellers in the TripAdvisor TripIndex Island Sun 2013 report.
The index compared the combined costs for two people of a one night stay in a four-star hotel, a two-course meal with coconut juice, beers, massage along with rental of bicycles and snorkel equipment.
At $309.19, Cebu emerged as cheapest while Bali took second place at $325.08.
Meanwhile, Singapore’s Sentosa Island topped the list of most expensive with a TripIndex cost of $912.87 followed Langkawi in Malaysia at $594.46.
“In light of the upcoming year-end holiday season, TripIndex Island Sun helps travellers identify where their money goes the furthest,” TripAdvisor spokesperson, Jean Ow-Yeong, said.
“The biggest driver of costs is the price of hotels, followed by a massage for two.”
