Where to go on holiday In March

With the UK summer still a few months away, March is the ideal time to get away for some early sunshine. In Mauritius you can spend the day on a beautiful beach lapped by waves from the turquoise lagoon, often in pleasant highs of 30°C. Although showers are likely to occur, they are usually sharp and short. It’s also a time for celebration with the Hindu festival of Holi bringing locals out into the streets. Head to Barbados to enjoy the last of the ‘ideal’ climate before the humidity starts to increase, and enjoy its mix of cultures – especially in the cuisine. You could even try a spot of golf, or take a submarine tour. Oman’s early spring weather is a glorious mix of sunny skies and agreeable temperatures, perfect for wandering the country’s ancient forts, hiking the jagged mountains and exploring the sunburnt dunes of the desert in 20-something heat. What’s more, hotels tend to be slightly quieter at this time. Watch the video for more inspiration and chat to one of our personal travel experts who will help you craft your dream March holiday.
