Top March destinations for every kind of traveller

For Sun-Seekers

  • Canary Islands: Never mind waiting for July to roll around - March in the Canaries means beach-perfect weather, with highs around 21°C to 24°C. Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, and Gran Canaria are all bangin' choices for some early-year beach fun.

  • Morocco: If you want a mix of sun and culture, Marrakech is calling. 25°C days are perfect for exploring the bustling souks before retreating to a swanky riad for mint tea. For something even more exotic, venture out to the Sahara Desert for a proper adventure under the stars.

  • Egypt: In March, Egypt delivers both sun and historical wonders. Visit the pyramids of Giza or take a Nile cruise in pleasant, sunny weather before the scorching heat of summer kicks in. Sharm El-Sheikh offers stunning beaches and world-class diving, while Luxor gives you a dose of ancient history.

  • Caribbean Islands: Whether you choose Jamaica, Barbados, or the Dominican Republic, the Caribbean is blissful in March. You get the tail end of the dry season, meaning hot days, perfect beaches, and postcard-worthy sunsets.

For City Explorers

  • Rome, Italy: Skip the summer heat and explore Rome’s ancient streets in mild March weather. Plus, the lines at the Colosseum? Practically non-existent compared to the summer rush. Grab a gelato, explore the Vatican, or simply people-watch in one of the city’s many piazzas.

  • Lisbon, Portugal: Portugal’s capital is in full bloom by March, with fewer tourists clogging the iconic trams. Explore the hilly streets of Alfama, visit the iconic Jerónimos Monastery, or sip a delish coffee at a riverside café.

  • Istanbul, Turkey: In March, the weather is mild, and the city is far quieter than in summer. Haggle in the Grand Bazaar, visit the stunning Blue Mosque, and take a boat cruise along the Bosphorus to see where Europe meets Asia.

  • New York, USA: New York in March has a special energy. The weather is starting to warm up, and the city is buzzing with excitement. Stroll through Central Park as it begins to bloom or explore iconic sights like the Empire State Building and Times Square without the sweltering heat of summer.

  • Barcelona, Spain: With temperatures around 16°C, March is a fantastic time to visit Barcelona. Check out Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia, stroll along La Rambla, or hit the beach for a brisk walk along the Mediterranean.

For Adventure Lovers

  • Reykjavik: Chase the Northern Lights and hike through otherworldly landscapes - March gives you both winter wonderland and the chance to catch this natural spectacle before the season ends. Visit the Blue Lagoon, take a drive along the Golden Circle, or explore black-sand beaches along the southern coast.

  • Madeira, Portugal: This Atlantic island is often overshadowed by its mainland sibling, but it’s got a cracking mix of hiking trails, natural swimming pools, and botanical gardens to explore—all under a balmy 20°C March sun. Don’t miss the levada walks—ancient aqueducts that wind through lush mountains.

Why Book a March Holiday?

Beat the Crowds


One of the best things about March is that it’s technically off-season for a lot of popular destinations. That means fewer crowds, shorter queues, and a lot more space to stretch out and soak up your surroundings. Fancy that insta-worthy beach without a thousand other tourists in your shot? March is your go-to.

Affordable Prices


March is a sweet spot for travel deals. You’ll find prices are much lower compared to the peak summer months. Flights, accommodation, and even activities tend to cost less - so, your boujee holiday doesn’t have to break the bank. Think of it as a cheeky loophole in the calendar where you get to experience the luxe life on a budget.

Fabulous Weather in Certain Spots


By March, some destinations are already serving up proper scorchio days. Places like the Canary Islands, Egypt, and Dubai are perfect if you’re hankering for a dose of Vitamin D. Meanwhile, destinations in Southeast Asia like Thailand or Vietnam are just at the tail end of their dry season - perfect timing for topping up your tan before summer officially arrives.
