Bali has been knocked off the top spot in the Post Office Travel Money’s annual report on prices in long-haul destinations.

Instead Cape Town leads the field in this year’s Long Haul Holiday Report for being the cheapest of 34 resorts and cities, with a cup of coffee averaging £1.10 and a glass of wine £2.74.

Jumeirah Beach in Dubai is the most expensive, with a cup of coffee coming in at £4.26 and a glass of wine at £10.64.

Tokyo remains third cheapest, but is closing the gap on Cape Town and Bali with a cup of coffee averaging £2.06.
