Plan my March tripMarch is one of the smartest months to travel. Half-term crowds are gone, prices have dropped, and many destinations are entering their best weather window. Morocco, Egypt, and the Canary Islands are warm and dry. Sri Lanka's west coast is in peak season. And Japan's cherry blossoms begin their spectacular show in late March.
The best destination for March is Morocco — specifically Marrakech. At 25°C with clear skies, a 3.5-hour flight, and shoulder season prices, it delivers warmth, culture, and incredible food without the summer heat.

The best destination for March is Morocco — warm days (25°C), short flight (3.5 hours), shoulder season prices, and incredible culture. For guaranteed heat, try Egypt or Sri Lanka. For something special, Japan's cherry blossom season begins in late March. The Canary Islands are reliable and affordable for a shorter trip.
The hottest destinations from the UK in March include Egypt (26°C), Sri Lanka (31°C), Cape Verde (24°C), the Canary Islands (22°C), Morocco (25°C), and Dubai (28°C). The Caribbean remains warm at 28-30°C but is further afield at 8-9 hours flight time.
Late March is one of the best times to visit Japan. Cherry blossom (sakura) season typically begins in the last week of March in Tokyo and Kyoto, with full bloom in early April. The weather is mild (12-15°C), and the combination of blossoms, temples, and spring cuisine makes it a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
Yes, significantly. Once February half-term ends, prices drop by 20-40% for the same destinations. March is a shoulder season sweet spot — warm weather in many destinations, fewer crowds, and much better value. The exception is Easter, which falls in March some years and pushes prices up for that week.
