Where to travel each season – your perfect getaway guide

Ever found yourself daydreaming about a holiday, but not sure when or where to go? You’re not alone - timing really is everything when it comes to travel. The world is full of incredible places, but choosing the right time to visit can make all the difference. Whether you’re chasing sunshine, escaping the school holiday rush, or looking for that perfect sweet spot between crowds and climate, I’ve put together a little seasonal guide to help you decide when to go where. Let’s find your perfect getaway – no matter the month. ?? Spring Escapes (March – May) - Spring is such an underrated time to travel. Europe is waking up after winter, the crowds haven’t yet arrived, and the weather is mild but lovely. Best for: City breaks, road trips, and romantic escapes. Top picks???? Italy – Think lakeside views in Lake Como, or a few days in Florence before it gets too hot. Japan – This is cherry blossom season and it’s every bit as magical as it sounds. Portugal – Lisbon and the Algarve are warm, colourful, and full of charm before the summer rush. If you’re after a quieter, more relaxed trip, spring is your golden ticket. ?? Summer Getaways (June – August) - Summer holidays are all about long days, beach vibes, and making the most of the sunshine. Whether it’s a family escape or a romantic getaway, this is peak travel season for good reason. Best for: Beaches, island hopping, and classic family holidays. Top picks:???? Greece – From Santorini to Skiathos, the Greek islands are a summer dream. Croatia – Stunning coastlines, clear waters, and charming old towns. Mauritius – Want something a little different? It’s dry season in Mauritius, and the weather is perfect. Pro tip: July and August are busy and prices can spike, so booking early really pays off here – especially for families. ?? Autumn Adventures (September – November) - If you can travel outside of peak summer, autumn is a dream. The crowds ease, the weather’s still warm in many destinations, and you can get a lot more for your money. Best for: Laid-back luxury, culture, and off-peak sun. Top picks:???? Dubai – It cools down just enough to explore the city and still enjoy the beach. Morocco – Think colourful souks, desert escapes, and rooftop dinners in Marrakech. Thailand – November is when the rainy season ends, and it’s a great time to visit before peak prices hit. It’s a brilliant time for a honeymoon, special occasion, or just treating yourself to a bit of luxury without the summer chaos. ?? Winter Escapes (December – February) Whether you’re after festive magic or full-on tropical sunshine, winter is all about two moods: cosy or sunny. Best for: Christmas markets, exotic escapes, and New Year adventures. Top picks:???? New York – For that proper festive movie moment. Think skating in Central Park and twinkling lights everywhere. The Maldives – For warm seas, white sand, and total switch-off vibes. Lapland – Snowy adventures, reindeer rides, and the Northern Lights. Perfect for families and festive magic. Winter is also a fab time to escape the cold and recharge after the holidays — or start the year with something unforgettable. Need help choosing your next trip?
