Where to travel each season – your perfect getaway guide
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.
