Where’s Hot in March? 6 Must-Visit Destinations

Come March, the novelty of hat and scarf season is over and we’re itching to see the first flowers of Spring. And, if you love your holidays like we do, no doubt you’re also craving sunnier climes by this time of year. So, where’s hot in March? Say goodbye to winter and hello to warmth in one of these 7 sunbaked destinations.

Caribbean

Weather: Max: 28 degrees (approx.) | Min: 23 degrees (approx.)

What to do: Winter is prime season over in the Caribbean – so make sure you book well in advance and expect some crowds – though still considerably lower than the summer. Whether you’re looking to relax on one of the sugar-white beaches with a rum cocktail in hand, dance to the reggae beats of a live jam session, go for a hike in the mountains or dive into the crystal-clear water, you couldn’t pick a more perfect place to escape the cold weather!

Where to stay: Choose your island wisely, depending on the type of trip you’re looking to take – March is Spring Break season, so the young and fun crowds tend to descend on Cancun, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. If you’re going on holiday to let off some steam, then these could be the islands for you, but if you just want to kick back and live the chilled island lifestyle, head to jungle-clad St Lucia or beach-fringed Barbados.

Canary Islands, Spain

Weather: Max: 22 degrees (approx.) | Min: 14 degrees (approx.)

What to do: It may be the cooler destination on this list, but the Canary Islands in March are great for those looking for a bit of winter warmth without scorching temperatures. Tenerife, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria are our top picks if you’re going away with little ones, as you can easily spend a day on their sandy beaches without worrying about the kids getting too hot. All three islands are also well-known for their stunning volcanic scenery, making them well-suited to keen walkers and hikers.

Where to stay: We’ve got an amazing collection of villas situated across Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Lanzarote – from affordable family-friendly holiday homes to super stylish spots.

Marrakech, Morocco

Weather: Max: 23 degrees (approx.) | Min: 10 degrees (approx.)

What to do: In March, the temperatures start to rise in Marrakech and average at a comfortable level – ideal for those wanting to take on a trip to the Sahara or chaotic meander through the souks. As it’s still out of season for tourists, this is the ideal time to visit if you prefer lower crowd levels – particularly if you want to go museum-hopping.

Where to stay: It’s all about glamourous getaways when you head to Marrakech! With fully-catered stays to riads not far from the hustle and bustle, our selection of villas in Morocco will have something for everyone.

Mexico

Weather: Max: 30 degrees (approx.) | Min: 21 degrees (approx.)

What to do: Did you know that, between December and April, Mexico offers non-stop sunshine? However, that’s not the only reason why we think it’s a great choice for getting away from the winter cold. From white-sand beaches and turquoise oceans to endless Margaritas and colourful street food, this vibrant country is brimming with culture that the locals can’t wait to share with you. Just be sure to learn a few Spanish phrases before your trip – they’ll appreciate the effort!

Where to stay: Our amazing collection of villas in Mexico allow you to truly explore it all, with top spots in Baja California, the Pacific Coast and Cancun.

Southern Thailand

Weather: Max: 32 degrees (approx. ) | Min: 25 degrees (approx.)

What to do: March isn’t necessarily the best time of year to visit the northern or central areas of Thailand as they go through their hot and humid season, but it’s pretty perfect for a trip to the southern region. Sugar-white beaches and turquoise waters await – ideal for basking in and sharing on social media as friends back home stay bundled up. If you’re particularly keen to explore the colourful, coral-filled reefs around these islands, March is considered the best time of year for scuba diving and snorkelling.

Where to stay: Our ever-growing collection of villas in Thailand now covers Phuket, Ko Kut, Koh Pha Ngan, and Koh Samui with each and every one boasting its very own castaway beaches and cultural attractions.

Orlando, Florida

Weather: Max: 26 degrees (approx. ) | Min: 13 degrees (approx.)

What to do: Orlando in March offers you perfect theme park weather while still escaping the busy summer crowds. Home to the magical Walt Disney World Resort as well as Universal Orlando, Busch Gardens, Sea World and Legoland, it’s a top spot for families and groups of friends no matter their age. 

We’d suggest a visit to Disney’s EPCOT to enjoy the annual Flower and Garden Festival – character topiaries, a butterfly house, live performances and sustainable dishes await. However, you should take note that March is also Spring Break season, so it may be a little busier in some places around key dates. To avoid overcrowding, head to the beaches on the coast, boat around the Everglades or picnic in Blue Springs State Park.

Where to stay: It’s all about resort living in Orlando – our luxury villas bring you independence and privacy along with family-oriented facilities and activities! They’re also located right near the parks, allowing you to make it for rope drop each morning.

The best Canary Island: which one to choose?

Destinations

With year-round sunshine the dazzlingly diverse landscapes suit all tastes and budgets – there is a Canary Island for every traveller

org/Person”>By Anna Hart

22 April 2020

This Spanish archipelago lies off the north-west coast of Morocco, on the exposed tips of a vast volcanic mountain range beneath the Atlantic Ocean. The irresistible combination of Moroccan and Spanish flavours, plus year-round sunshine and a wildly varied topography primed the Canary Islands for over-tourism throughout the 1990s, and they’ve struggled to shake off their bad rep as package-holiday destination ever since. But travellers who look past these dated assumptions are rewarded with an idyllic cluster of wildly diverse islands waiting to be rediscovered.

The varied scenery of the islands is spellbinding: Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and their neighbours have otherworldly volcanic landscapes, lush pine forests, secret rocky coves and swathes of sand dunes. Permanent good weather, historic towns, a calendar of unusual festivals and superlative cuisine and local wine mean there is really no bad time to visit. Travellers can bed down in stylish beach hotels, agriturismo Airbnbs, remote bohemian yurts and cliff-hugging private villas. Whether you’re a dedicated road cyclist keen on discovering remote corners of Gran Canaria, an architecture buff obsessed with César Manrique’s structures across Lanzarote or a nature-lover seeking out new species of wildflowers in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of tiny El Hierro, there is a Canary Island for every traveller.

  TENERIFE

  As the largest and most developed of the islands, Tenerife has sophisticated hotels, brilliant food and a rich cultural offering. But beyond the busy southern hotel complexes, it’s entirely possible to find unspoiled corners, such as cobblestoned Garachico and colourful La Laguna in the rugged and less-developed north, giving travellers the best of both worlds.

  Dominating the entire island is snow-capped volcano Pico del Teide, Spain’s tallest peak, criss-crossed with some of the most spectacular hiking trails in the Canary Islands. In Tenerife’s crammed cultural calendar, one highlight is the Carnival of Santa Cruz in February, the biggest parade after Rio de Janeiro. And the Surrealist painter Oscar Domínguez is rightly revered here in his homeland, with a fabulous collection of his canvases displayed at TEA (Tenerife Espacio de las Artes) in Santa Cruz.

  FUERTEVENTURA

  Just 60 miles off the African coast, Fuerteventura is sun-baked and wind-blasted, with cacti-dotted plains, rolling sand dunes and crashing, emerald-green waves. Its Parque Natural de Corralejo, containing the largest dunes in the Canary Islands, is almost Martian in its otherworldliness. The Atalayita Village Archaeological Interpretation Centre is the island’s most significant historic site, with ancient aboriginal houses built into lava-formed walls. The year-round sunshine and consistent wind make the island a world-class destination for wind-surfers and kite-surfers who flock to Playa de Sotavento, but there are also plenty of sheltered coves for swimming, snorkelling and sun-basking. In a further rebuttal to accusations of over-tourism, goats outnumber people on Fuerteventura, and the prevalence of goat’s cheeses – the most popular being Majorero – on the island’s menus is a constant reminder of their supremacy.

• Getty Images

  GRAN CANARIA

  A multi-faceted favourite with travellers who want to combine some dedicated beach action with mountain hikes and visits to historical towns, the third-largest island in the archipelago is arguably the most diverse of the lot. Nearly half of the Canarian population have made their home here in Gran Canaria, among Las Palmas’s historical highlights including the 15th-century Cathedral of Santa Ana and the 18th-century Casa de Colón, where it is claimed that explorer Christopher Columbus plotted his five-week first voyage to America. The island’s mountainous interior attracts modern explorers, with Artenara perhaps having the most melodramatic views of all.

  LA GOMERA

  Devotees swear this is the most authentic Canarian island, a pint-sized delight with some of the best cuisine in the archipelago dished out of backstreet tavernas, a vibrant craft scene and a lingering local lingo – Silbo Gomero – comprised of whistling sounds that carry messages up to three miles to neighbouring villages. San Sebastián is the island’s capital, where restaurants serve watercress soup and fiery papas arrugadas (potatoes with chilli-pepper sauce), and potters can be seen spinning traditional ceramics in open-air workshops. For an island that measures just 22 miles from east to west, it somehow packs in 400 miles of dedicated trails, and it was awarded World Biosphere Reserve status in 2011.

• Getty Images

  EL HIERRO

  The least developed, second-smallest and most southwestern of the eight main Canary Islands, El Hierro is beloved by responsibly minded travellers for its small-scale, largely family-run enterprises, undulating hillsides dotted with wildflowers and for being entirely self-sufficient with renewable energy. Criminally overlooked, El Hierro is romantic, remote and a haven for hikers, kayakers, snorkellers and surfers.

  As a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, more than half of the island is pristine wilderness, and forward-thinking regulations prohibit the construction of buildings higher than two floors. This untamed, traditional yet ecologically progressive island appeals to intrepid adventurers as well as solitude-seekers, while the 47-room Parador hotel is an oasis of low-key luxury and culinary sophistication among the more homespun guesthouses and restaurants around the island. For flight-minimising travellers who want to mix-and-match their Canary Islands, the ferry from Puerto de la Estaca in the north of the island sails to Tenerife in under three hours.

• Getty Images

  LA PALMA

  The greenest island in the archipelago, La Palma is dedicated to nature, its black-sand beaches spared the mass development of the larger islands with their white sands. Canarians call the island ‘La Isla Bonita’ (the Pretty Island), and the capital Santa Cruz de La Palma is an architectural delight, with a 16th-century old town lined with grand, balconied and whitewashed manors and residences.

  In 1983 La Palma was the first Canary Island to be designated a Biosphere Reserve, and it remains one of the quietest spots in the Canaries, the choice of travellers who prefer low-key luxury and natural abundance over the glitz and glamour of the island’s big sisters.

  The rainforested north is a highlight, where the Enchanted Forest lives up to its name, but the volcanic south, where craters and craggy rock formations mark the landscape, is no less remarkable.

• Getty Images

  LANZAROTE

  This has always been the Canary Island of choice for those looking for a holiday less ordinary. Geologically extreme and culturally unconventional, Lanzarote has a lunar landscape that is characterised by 300 volcanic cones and faintly apocalyptic blackened lava fields, where volcanic vineyards offer a completely unique experience of wine tourism. The island’s glorious irregularity and bohemian ethos is underpinned by the legacy of 20th-century lanzaroteño artist, architect and visionary César Manrique, whose spectacular constructions are dotted across the land and include a cavernous underground music venue and nightclub, a Bond villain-esque lighthouse and a space-age cactus garden.

  Beyond its endlessly fascinating culinary and cultural credentials, Lanzarote is a dream destination for road cyclists due to its network of routes, while surf shacks line the coastline.

  LA GRACIOSA

  It was only in 2018 that Spain’s General Commission of the Autonomous Communities of the Senate declared this dinky rocky outcrop with no paved roads and just 700 permanent residents the eighth official Canary Island. Reached from Lanzarote by a half-hour ferry, La Graciosa is a designated UNESCO World Heritage site, making for uncrowded beaches, a smattering of modest guesthouses and restaurants, and dirt roads that can only be navigated by foot, bike and the occasional four-wheel drive. Accommodation is generally confined to campsites or cute rental cottages, but a number of savvy Airbnb hosts accepts guests on their yachts in the tiny marina.

Despite the rivalry between Gran Canaria and Tenerife, these two Canary Islands are very similar. However, Gran Canaria is a slightly less popular choice than the infamous Tenerife, mostly because the largest Canary island offers a little bit of everything for everybody.

Spanish Islands Map

Here’s your map of the best islands to visit in Spain. If you’re having trouble deciding, just close your eyes and point, you really can’t go wrong!

Balearic Islands Spain

An idyllic group of islands off the coast of Spain, Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera have long been celebrated among the best islands in Europe. Each has its own distinct character, but all of them bathe in a mild Mediterranean climate to match postcard-perfect scenery at every turn.

Choose an island to suit your holiday style, your personality or your family’s favourite activities. Or, hop across the entire region to fulfil all your dreams of island-based adventures and tranquil, seaside bliss.

MALLORCA ISLAND

The largest Spanish island, Mallorca is a perfectly blended holiday cocktail of sapphire seas, cultural traditions, cosmopolitan treats and rural landscapes. It also happens to be the hottest Balearic Island, so hit its glittering shores in August if you love nothing more than basking in the heat.

Popular Spanish resorts abound, with everything from sprawling beachfront hotels featuring kids’ clubs, water sports and glistening swimming pools, to mountain-top hideaways for two.

If all you want to do is laze on the beach, choose a different, golden arc of sand each day. Cala Formentor offers sunbeds, watersports and lifeguards on a backdrop of pine trees, while Caló des Moro is an unspoilt, cliff-flanked bay for serene snorkelling.

Canary Islands

The Canary Islands (in Spanish Islas Canarias) are washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Together with Madeira and the Azores to the north and the Cape Verde Islands to the south, they form what is commonly referred to as “Macronesia”.

The archipelago consists of seven large inhabited islands and several smaller ones. In the center is the largest island – Tenerife. To the west are Gomera, Hierro and Palma. Gran Canaria is located to the east of Tenerife. It is the third largest island in the archipelago. Further east are Fuerteventura and Lanzarote.

Canary Islands of volcanic origin.

Gran Canaria (island)

Gran Canaria is the third largest island after Tenerife and Fuerteventura with an area of ​​1532 km2. The combination of the rounded shape and the location of the highest peak of Pico de Las Nieves (Pico de Las Nieves) with a height of 2000 m in its geographical center, give the island the outline of a huge mountain, resembling a cone in shape with many extinct craters and deep ravines descending from the top to the ocean. The central mountain range, running from northwest to southeast, divides the island into a dry and sunny south and a humid north. In one day you can go from the hot desert coast to the temperate valleys in the center of the island, cross the subtropical forests and conquer the peaks, which sometimes snow. A huge number of plants imported from Europe, Africa and America grow on the island: pine forests in Tamadaba and lime groves of Los Tilos, El Monte vineyards and coffee plantations in Agaete, palm trees and almonds grow here, there are plantations of bananas, tomatoes and sugar cane. The countless variety of landscapes and microclimates, thanks to which Gran Canaria has earned the name ‘continent in miniature’, are among the main attractions of the island.

Most of the beaches are concentrated in the southern part of the island, where the climate is more sunny and dry. The largest dune beach Maspalomas (Maspalomas) stretches for 6 km and covers an area of ​​400 hectares. It is a national park and therefore car traffic is prohibited there: you can travel on it on foot or on camels.

At the northeastern tip of the island is its capital, Las Palmas. Every four years it also becomes the capital of all the Canary Islands – the provincial government alternately sits either in it or in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the capital of the island of Tenerife. On the east coast between Las Palmas and the beaches of Playa del Ingles and Maspalomas, 25 km from the capital, Gando International Airport is located.

Lanzarote (island)

Lanzarote (Lanzarote) is called the island of fire-breathing mountains – on a small island about sixty kilometers long and fifteen kilometers wide, there are about three hundred volcanoes! In the autumn of 1730, lava and red-hot ash began to erupt simultaneously from thirty craters. The eruption lasted six years and as a result, a third of the island became covered with lifeless basalt and ash. The next eruption took place in the 19th century. A ridge of volcanic cones has grown in the center of the island, resembling lunar mountains. Lava comes very close to the surface and at a depth of several meters the temperature reaches several hundred degrees.

The main attraction of Lanzarote is the Cueva de Los Verdes Cave. It is located in the north of the island under the lava fields of the Korona volcano. This is the largest lava cave in the world – it stretches for 6 kilometers, some of its halls reach 24 meters in width and 15 meters in height. The cave was formed when a river of molten basalt from the side crater of Corona continued to flow under a cooled and hardened layer of lava down into the sea. So it turned out a natural tunnel with bizarre shapes of walls and vaults. A concert hall has been created in one of the halls of the cave.

The largest tourist center of Lanzarote is the town of Puerto del Carmen. It has many hotels, restaurants, nightclubs. Next to it, in the village of Costa Teguise, there are more luxurious hotels and entertainment centers.

In other parts of the island there are also places worth visiting: the beaches of Papagayo (Papagayo) in the south, the cliffs and beach of Famara (Famara) in the west, the Cactus Garden, the massif of La Corona with the mysterious volcanic pipes of Jameos del Agua (Los Jameos del Agua) and Cueva de los Verdes. From the magnificent viewpoint of Del Rio in the north of the island, you can observe the neighboring Chinijo archipelago, consisting of the desert islets of La Graciosa, Montaña Clara and Alegranza; the first of them can be reached by sea from Lanzarote.

On the south coast in Papagayo Bay you will find the best beaches of the island with white sand and crystal clear waters. Due to their inaccessibility, these beaches have retained their original beauty to this day. Of the interesting places on the island, it is also necessary to note the coastal zone of Los Hervideros, where lava fancifully merges with the sea; and the stunning green crater of El Golfo.

Tenerife (island)

Tenerife is the largest, most famous and most visible island of the Canary archipelago. It is the top of the Teide volcano located on it that is seen from ships approaching the Canary Islands. The highest point of Mount El Pico del Teide is located at an altitude of 3718 meters above sea level and is the highest point not only in the Canaries, but throughout Spain. The island of Tenerife is actually a huge mountain rising from the sea and the top of which is the Teide cone.

The first eruption of Mount Teide known to Europeans occurred in 1492, the year Columbus visited the Canary Islands. Then there were eruptions in 1706 and 1909. Sometime after an explosion of enormous force, a crater with a diameter of about 29 km was formed. From the crack from which the magma came out, three new volcanoes formed. Now Teide is a huge volcanic cone in the center of a huge basin. The entire territory of the crater is a national park, the most visited in Spain.

Mountain ranges descending from the crater to the sea cut Tenerife into amazing valleys. Among them, La Oratava is especially noted, before the beauty of which, according to legend, the German naturalist Humboldt and Gumar knelt. The coast of the island is steep in places, with cliffs and rocks – for example, the cliffs of Los Gigantes break into the sea from a height of 600 m. The rest of the coast is covered with wonderful beaches with soft and clean sand. On some beaches the sand is golden, on others it is volcanic black.

Mount Teide does not allow cool winds carrying clouds to the southern half of the island. Therefore, the climate of the southern part of the island is drier and hotter, while in the northern part it is milder and cooler. But anywhere on the island, it is magnificent and allows you to enjoy both relaxing on the beaches and nature excursions.

Due to the amazing climate on the island of Tenerife, there is a familiar habitat for so many plants. In addition, since the Canary Islands were a transit point on trade routes to America and Africa, many plants from these parts of the world were brought to the island. On the island there are cacti, eucalyptus trees, and many different ornamental flowers, shrubs and trees.

The legendary dragon tree and the Canarian laurel, which have died out in other areas of the Mediterranean, have been preserved on the island. The dragon tree is the symbol of the archipelago. Although it grows very slowly, it reaches a height of 20 m. Even the ancient inhabitants of the Canary Islands, the Guanches, were aware of the healing properties of the resin of this tree, which is called ‘dragon’s blood’, because. in the air it becomes bright red.

Another amazing tree grows in the mountains – the Canarian pine. It is capable of fixing its roots even on bare volcanic rock and is easily restored after fires. The wood of the Canarian pine is very durable and fireproof, so it is a valuable building and ornamental material. Carved souvenirs from Canarian pine are sold in many tourist centers.

The capital of the island is the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Every four years it also becomes the capital of all the Canary Islands – the provincial government alternately sits either in it or in Las Palmas in Gran Canaria. About 220 thousand inhabitants live in the city.

There are 2 airports on the island – Tenerife Norte Airport, 9 km from Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Reina Sofia International Airport in the south, 60 km from the capital of the island.

Fuerteventura (Island)

Fuerteventura has the longest and best beaches in the Canary Islands. Most of its coastline (340 km) is formed by white sand beaches, sometimes more than 1 km wide.

In Fuerteventura, the mountains are not high and they cannot hold ocean clouds, as happens on other islands of the Canary archipelago. Therefore, the climate of the island is dry, and the landscape is desert, reminiscent of Africa. Due to the lack of water, agriculture practically did not develop on the island, and even now the population density in Fuerteventura is the lowest among the islands of the archipelago.

The best beaches of the island – Jandia in the south and Corralejo in the north – can be recognized as one of the best in the world. Some beaches are still deserted and practically untouched by civilization. The sea near the island is also special, shallow due to the peculiarity of the shelf, with the purest turquoise water. A very rich and diverse underwater world attracts lovers of diving and spearfishing. But the most important sport in Fuerteventura is windsurfing. Jandia Beach has hosted the World Championships several times. In the strait that separates the Canary Islands from Africa, you can catch sardines, tuna, and swordfish, which attracts many fishing enthusiasts here.

The capital of the island is the city of Puerto del Rosario, located in the central part of the island. From the small village of Morro Jable on the south coast, you can take a boat to the island of Gran Canaria. From the north coast, you can make an excursion to the uninhabited volcanic island of Lobos or Lanzarote.
