Why Book a March Holiday?

Beat the Crowds

One of the best things about March is that it’s technically off-season for a lot of popular destinations. That means fewer crowds, shorter queues, and a lot more space to stretch out and soak up your surroundings. Fancy that insta-worthy beach without a thousand other tourists in your shot? March is your go-to.

Affordable Prices

March is a sweet spot for travel deals. You’ll find prices are much lower compared to the peak summer months. Flights, accommodation, and even activities tend to cost less - so, your boujee holiday doesn’t have to break the bank. Think of it as a cheeky loophole in the calendar where you get to experience the luxe life on a budget.

Fabulous Weather in Certain Spots

By March, some destinations are already serving up proper scorchio days. Places like the Canary Islands, Egypt, and Dubai are perfect if you’re hankering for a dose of Vitamin D. Meanwhile, destinations in Southeast Asia like Thailand or Vietnam are just at the tail end of their dry season - perfect timing for topping up your tan before summer officially arrives.
