March 2027 guide

For March sun, the medium-haul pick is Eilat, Israel (26°C + 9 hours of sun), or fly long-haul to Abu Dhabi, UAE for near-perfect 29°C days. March brings longer days but the real warmth lies abroad. The Canaries hover near 22°C, Egypt and the UAE hit the high-20s°C, while Florida and Thailand keep hot days rolling. Mexico's Yucatán mixes Mayan ruins with beach resorts, and Morocco balances souks with mountain air. For something different, Sri Lanka's south coast glitters with golden sands, while Jordan's Wadi Rum reveals silence and space under vast skies.

Hot Countries in March: Where to Go for Spring Sun

March brings longer days at home, but the genuinely hot countries still lie abroad. For sun, the Canary Islands often sit near 21-22°C, Egypt and the UAE around 26-29°C, and the Caribbean and southern Thailand commonly 28-31°C, while Morocco and Madeira are milder with bright days. Prefer cold trips? Use our cooler ranges to surface snow-sure places for late season skiing and Arctic style breaks. Value windows tend to be early March and the week after Easter, when Easter falls in April. Flexible between March and April? April turns up the heat almost everywhere - use the month picker to compare the two.

Hot or not, March is choice: spring skiing or beach warmth.

Yes. It’s classic spring-skiing season. Aim for higher, snow-sure areas in the Alps or Scandinavia. Crowds ease after mid-March in many regions, except when Easter falls in late March.

Set a cool or cold temperature band (for example -5 to +5°C) and use our colder-trip quick picks (like “Chill Thrills”). Then sort by flight time to surface close options across the Alps and Nordics.

Very reliable picks include Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Oman. Egypt’s Red Sea resorts are usually dry. South Vietnam and Thailand’s Andaman coast tend to be settled. In Europe, bright days are common but temps are gentler.

The Indian Ocean and much of the Caribbean often see seas around 26-29°C. The Red Sea is typically 22-24°C. The Canaries are usually near 19-20°C.

Easter moves between late March and April. When it falls in March, demand and prices rise for both ski and sun weeks. For value, look at early March or the first week after the holidays.
