Travelling to Jamaica in March is a great choice because you avoid the rainy hurricane season, and temperatures range from 73-84 degrees Fahrenheit - perfect for lounging in the sun. Montego Bay is a popular Spring Break location however, so be warned that it could be busy at that time of year.

Boracay is all about the beaches, with the 2.5-mile long White Beach being the most popular.

This tropical Spanish archipelago, located near the coast of Northern Africa, is a chain of idyllic islands. The largest of the seven major islands, Tenerife, is also the most popular for travellers, but luckily, by visiting in March, you’ll be arriving at the tail-end of the primary tourist season, when it’s beginning to die down. Teide National Park sits inland and features dramatic volcanic views and superb hiking trails.

Gran Canaria also boasts arguably the best nightlife, thanks to the vibrant bar scene found in the city of Las Palmas.

Azure Caribbean waters, exciting nightlife and miles of beachfront make Cancun a prime winter travel destination.
