March offers an ideal window for sun-seekers to escape the lingering chill at home, with numerous destinations boasting comfortably warm climates before the peak holiday season begins. Travelling outside peak season means fewer tourists and often more attractive prices compared to summer.
Dubai is a top pick for March, with mild weather perfect for exploring the city's culture, visiting the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, or enjoying watersports. The Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood offers a taste of Arabian history, while hotels like Al Seef Heritage Hotel Dubai provide boutique accommodation blending vintage charm with modern amenities.
Lanzarote in the Canary Islands is a great short-haul option, with warm temperatures ideal for touring Timanfaya National Park's volcanic landscapes or enjoying wine tastings. The five-star Princesa Yaiza resort in Playa Blanca offers pet-friendly rooms and a range of amenities including restaurants, a spa and pools.
Barbados is in the middle of its high season in March, offering fine white sandy beaches, watersports and lively nightlife. The all-inclusive Sandals Barbados resort near St Lawrence Gap provides luxurious accommodation for couples, with 21 restaurants, 14 bars and watersports opportunities.
