Frequently asked questions

How much does a Praia holiday package cost?
Offering great value package deals on Expedia, you’ll be surprised at how little a holiday to Praia costs! Our packages simplify travel planning and maximise your savings.
What are the cheapest months to go to Praia?
May, September and October are great times to search for cheap Praia holiday packages. Choosing to travel in less busy months means you can typically find reduced prices on hotels and flights.
How many days is enough for Praia?
To fully enjoy your Praia holiday, we suggest staying for 3 days. Split your time between visiting Prainha Beach, Dona María Pia Lighthouse and other key sights, on top of exploring neighbourhoods like Vila Nova and Terra Branca. If you’ve got some time to spare, include a day trip in your Praia holiday itinerary.
Is it worth booking a holiday package to Praia?
From cool attractions such as Quebra Canela Beach and Dona María Pia Lighthouse to its epic culture, a Praia holiday is sure to exceed your expectations. With so much to do and see, find out for yourself why Praia is such a good holiday destination.
How to find the best Praia package deals?
Use Expedia’s filters to help you find some terrific Praia package deals. When you begin your search, simply set your maximum budget and then order the results by “Price: low to high.” If you’re looking to save, plan your trip for midweek, or search for Praia package deals in the off-peak season. Switch up your travel dates and you may score even better discounts. As a rule of thumb, it’s usually best to lock in your holiday package well in advance.
Is it cheaper to book a Praia holiday as a package?
Expedia holiday packages are designed to help you keep more money in your pocket. Bundle your hotel, flight and car rental into one great-value price and you could save hundreds of dollars. You’ll usually get a better deal than booking each component separately. And you’ll still get the flexibility to create a tailored Praia holiday by choosing your favourite type of stay, airline and car class.
When to book a holiday package to Praia?
If you’re considering a spontaneous Praia holiday, check out our last-minute deals that can be booked up to one week before you go. Prefer not to wait until the last minute? You can find incredible deals on your hotels and flights by booking ahead.
How to plan a trip to Praia?

  1. Choose when to go: Check your diary and pack your bags. Your preferred time of year and the activities on offer will also help you decide when to visit Praia.
  2. Work out your budget: Make sure you have enough money to cover everything from transportation and food to activities and flights. Your hotel will likely be the biggest expense during your trip to Praia.
