Budget-style 7-day Beach trips from Madrid under 1,200 EUR
On a total budget of 1,200 EUR, some destinations fit a 7-day trip from Madrid with room to spare. The cheapest is Albania, expected around 650 EUR for the whole trip.
This answer assumes a budget travel style, a 7-day trip and flexible dates. Budget style means simpler stays and lower day-to-day spending, so these totals come out below the mid-range pages for the same destinations. Every figure is a reference estimate from our own model, not a live fare and not a guaranteed booking price.

We priced the destinations for this question. Some could not be costed, some were too close to be a flight, some are far past the ceiling, and some were dropped as a longer or shorter version of a trip already listed.
Airfare: some of the destinations shown rest on an observed, dated route benchmark, and the rest use the modelled distance curve. Every figure is an estimate, never a live fare.
The cost model behind this page has a baseline date of 2026-09-13. It is the model baseline, not the date of the underlying airfare, hotel or price references — any dated sample on this page carries its own dates, shown with it. Prices are planning estimates, not quotes or availability. See which data the estimates use and when it was recorded
