BEST PLACES TO TRAVEL IN MARCH

Vietnam

Vietnam

Vietnam has everything from vibrant cities and a fascinating history to barefoot beach hideaways and serene hill towns just waiting to be discovered. Free from heavy rainfall and stifling heat, March hits the sweet spot. The temperatures are bang-on and sunny days put a pretty spin on every single sight, from the limestone karsts of Halong Bay and misty mountains of Sapa, to the Spring Festival at Lao Cai, and the peaceful pockets of the Mekong Delta (best enjoyed on a boat ride with a drink in hand). When it comes to cities, you’ve got two goodies on your hands: Hanoi offers an unbeatable blend of history and urban cool, while Ho Chi Minh is a chaotic cultural hotspot.

Morocco

Morocco

It’s mind-boggling that Morocco is under four hours from the UK, given the country offers such a stark contrast in culture and climate, in the most magical way. In March, Morocco offers a little bit of everything – from its wild beaches with cool surfer vibes and the adventurous trails of the Atlas Mountains, to plush Bedouin camps in the orange dunes of the Sahara and ideal temperatures to explore its imperial cities. With its blissfully sunny skies and reliably warm weather, March is an excellent month to call in spring in Morocco.

South Africa

South Africa

South Africa basks in sun-drenched days in March, creating perfect conditions for exploring. And as a wonderfully diverse country, there’s no shortage of sights to see. Cape Town keeps it classy with dapper hotels, inventive restaurants and a creative energy fluttering around its galleries, all set against the backdrop of magnificent Table Mountain. Speaking of mountains, South Africa boasts dazzling landscapes, from the Drakensberg and the Blyde River Canyon to the acres of wine country and the knockout beaches along the Indian Ocean coast. And we haven’t even mentioned wildlife yet. South Africa has perfected the art of safaris, from once-in-a-lifetime Big Five jaunts to great white shark spotting along the coast.

Inde

India

India is ablaze with festivals and parties as spring shifts into gear. The biggest and brightest of them all is Holi, the Hindu festival of colours, where partygoers hurl vibrant rainbow powders at each other, transforming Delhi’s corners into a technicolour mishmash of revelry. If your idea of a perfect getaway is a break from the hustle and bustle, escape into mountainous Ladakh – a region of immense natural beauty and snow-capped peaks.

India Holidays
Maldives

Maldives

Spring signals the end of high season in the Maldives, just before the rain rolls across the archipelago. But a trip to the Maldives in March still promises superb weather and dwindling crowds – what's not to love? Spend your days diving over kaleidoscopic reefs, wandering along white-sand beaches, lazing under breezy palms, slumbering in super-luxe hotels and savouring fresh seafood. And for those who dare to venture beyond the resort, a sprinkling of beaches where barely a footprint marks the sand await.
