10 Best Places To Visit March

As winter begins to fade and the hope of Spring is around the corner, sometimes the wait for warm weather and greener pastures (both literally and figuratively) can become too much to bear.

If you relate to this sentiment then a March getaway might be just what you need. We've scoured the globe looking at the climates, availability, value for money, and congestion of the world's greatest destinations to give you the absolute BEST places you can visit in March.

1) Mexico

A foodie paradise with a rich blend of indigenous and Hispanic cultures, and a long and storied history, Mexico is a wonderfully unique and welcoming place that truly offers something for everyone. Without question, the Incan ruins of Chichen Itza and the turquoise cenotes of the surrounding region are must-see highlights. March is one of the driest months in Mexico and it’s not too hot either averaging a pleasant 26 degrees.

2) Borneo, Malaysia

Borneo is the slice of Asia that has been left almost completely isolated from the environmental complications of tourism, and as such is considered THE defacto most lush slice of rainforest laden, mangrove rich, mountain dotted terrain in all of Asia. The island belongs to 3 countries and is spread across Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. Its dense rainforests are estimated to be 140 million years old making them one of the oldest in the world. March is when the rainy season really begins to die down making it less humid and more pleasant as a result.

3) India

If variety is the spice of life, India is the masala of travel. The Taj Mahal is one of the 7 new wonders of the world, but among the embarrassment of riches in India, it's merely one of the hundreds of gems that must be explored to be appreciated. March is also the month of a very colourful and unique festival in India. 'The Festival Of Colours', Holi, sees Indians unite in a firework display of coloured powders with children and adults of all ages taking to the streets and launching psychedelic powders at one another to celebrate Spring.
