Where is hot in March?

Why struggling during the long wait for the good old British summer, when you can book a little pick-me-up break in the sun? Go on, you deserve it! Plus, there’s no guarantees we’ll get any sunshine in the UK anyway.

Enjoy eternal sunshine in Cape Verde or head on an adventure in Thailand – let’s take a look at where is hot in March and the hottest countries you can book a getaway to.

Madeira

Flight time – 3 hours

Average Temperature – 21°C

Located in the Atlantic Ocean, Madeira is a top destination for a spring break. The whole island is one huge colourful display of flowers and foliage. In fact, Madeira is known worldwide for its spectacular flower festival that takes place each year in the month of April.

Funchal is the bustling capital of Madeira and offers you a great mix of traditional and new, however if you prefer a slower pace of life, or if you enjoy walking, you’ll find plenty of small picturesque villages and walking tours. Plus, it’s only a short flight from the UK – what more could you want?

Lanzarote

Flight time – 4 hours

Average Temperature – 23°C

The finest beaches in the Canary Islands await you in Lanzarote. Book a cheap holiday to Lanzarote and you’ll be welcomed by lunar landscapes, golden sands, and plenty of sunshine. The landscape is certainly unique with a World Biosphere Reserve Status, awarded by UNESCO. You’re guaranteed great weather as it’s one of the hottest countries in March – only a short distance from the UK.

The main resorts include Costa Teguise, Puerto del Carmen, Playa de los Pocillos, and Playa Blanca – all bursting with exciting excursions, vibrant nightlife and Blue Flag bays.

Goa

Flight time – 9 hours

Average Temperature – 32°C

If you are looking to travel further afield, Goa is certainly one of the hottest countries in March, globally. If you prefer a slower pace of life, head South of the island where you can find some top luxurious hotels, or if you like to be right in the thick of the action in a busy resort, we would recommend a stay in North Goa.

Take time to enjoy some culture, mixed in with history, lush beaches, vibrant nightlife and some busy markets. Don’t forget to take a spare suitcase with you to fill up on all those bargain buys.

Jamaica

Flight time – 10 hours

Average Temperature – 30°C

If you love Mexico, but don’t want to travel in its peak season Spring Break, then why not try Jamaica as a fantastic alternative? You will certainly receive a warm welcome in Jamaica along with some warm sunshine and reggae. A visit to Dunn’s River Falls is a must for your bucket list, as is a visit to the famous Rick’s Café.

Jamaica certainly has the right to brag about its white sandy beaches, in fact, Jamaica is a truly unforgettable destination.

Florida

Flight time – 10 hours

Average Temperature – 23°C

Boasting gorgeous weather all year round, Florida is known as the Sunshine State for a reason. If you’re not phased by a longer flight, Florida is certainly a great pick for a hot country in March.

Not to mention the temperatures are ideal for theme park exploring – join Mickey and Minnie at Walt Disney World or experience your favourite films in a whole new way at Universal Studios. International Drive is sure to impress with over 17 kilometres of shops, bars and restaurants as well as its own attractions.

It’s a once-in-a-lifetime holiday, perfect for you and the whole family. And if you’re not one for rollercoasters, Florida’s Everglades have a proud UNESCO World Heritage Site title.
