Where to go when?

Planning where to go in 2026 can feel overwhelming, especially with so many incredible destinations to choose from. I always tell my clients that the secret is simple: match the right place to the right time of year. That way, you get the best weather, better value, and a smoother, more relaxing holiday.

January & February are ideal for winter sun holidays. Think luxury escapes to the Indian Ocean or Arabian Gulf, with warm seas, beautiful beaches and high‑end resorts. It is the perfect time for a post‑Christmas reset, spa breaks and quality time together.

In March & April, I often recommend Easter family holidays and European city breaks. The Canary Islands work brilliantly for early sunshine, while cities like Rome, Lisbon or Seville offer culture, food and lighter crowds. This is also a good window for longer tailor‑made tours in parts of the USA and Asia.

May & June are fantastic for Mediterranean holidays and honeymoons. You get warm, sunny days without the peak‑summer crowds. It is a lovely time for coastal escapes, vineyard stays and luxury Europe getaways.

July & August tend to be about family summer holidays. If school dates are fixed, I focus on the right balance of comfort, location and experiences, whether that is the Med, the mountains or an adventure to Canada or Scandinavia.

For many of my clients, September & October are the sweet spot: late‑summer sun, quieter beaches and more grown‑up trips. Southern Europe shines now, and it is also an excellent time for more in‑depth trips to Asia or the Americas.

Finally, November & December suit winter sun escapes, Christmas market breaks and special festive getaways.

If your clients are starting to dream about 2026 holidays, this is exactly when planning pays off. I can design a tailor‑made itinerary around their dates, style and budget, then you can secure it all through Phenix so they simply turn up and enjoy.
