UAE
Where can you relax at sea in March 2020? The non-obvious answer is the United Arab Emirates. Very often tourists go there for new acquisitions, although beach holiday in the UAE in March it is possible: the sea is already warming up to +22...+23°C and is quite suitable for swimming. The beginning of spring is characterized by comfortable air temperatures and unexpected surprises of nature in the form of sandstorms and thick fogs, which, fortunately, does not happen very often. Warm during the day: in Dubai and Sharjah +27°C, in Abu Dhabi +29°C. At night the air temperature drops to +18...+21°C, so it’s worth taking windbreakers with you.
The coastal waters of Fujairah are famous among divers for their rich underwater world, and crab hunters go to Umm al-Quwain. and are known for their architectural masterpieces, shopping centers and entertainment complexes, for children, dolphinariums and aquariums. Traditional camel rides and desert jeep safaris are also popular.

In March, the beach season begins in Jordan, but it is comfortable to swim only during the day; in the evenings it is a little uncomfortable due to the winds. March is dry and warm like spring: in the capital during the day +20°C, at night +6...+11°C, in Jerash and Petra it is colder. In Aqaba during the day +23...+26°С, water in the Red Sea +22°С. The water temperature in the Dead Sea is a couple of degrees higher, and there are many spa centers with wide range services.
Jordan is a very original country. There is practically no nightlife in the capital; all clubs are located in large hotels. Tourists can go water skiing and catamarans, diving, windsurfing, hang gliding, walking and mountaineering. Jeep and camel rides, air sports and excursions are popular: the city of Petra, the Roman ruins of Jerash and the settlement of Pella in the Jordan Valley, the Arab castle of Ajloun and the Crusader castle of Kerak. It is worth remembering that daylight hours are still short in March, so all trips need to be planned in advance.

China
The first month of spring in mainland China is quite cool. In Beijing and Shanghai during the day +11...+13°С, in Guangzhou and Hong Kong up to +22°С. Comfortable weather conditions for a beach holiday in March in China on the island of Hainan: during the day +25°C, sea water temperature +24°C. The most pleasant water off the coast of Sanya resort is +28°C. It can be cool in the evenings, and windbreakers will be very useful for walking.
Holidays in China in March are very varied and quite economical. In addition to beach activities, tourists can enjoy a lot of interesting things: diving, fishing and river rafting, visiting volcanoes and hot springs. If you stock up on warm clothes, you can afford unforgettable excursions to, Shanghai or: see temples and skyscrapers, stroll through parks and squares, visit the Great Wall of China, take part in a tea ceremony, visit a market or a huge shopping center, where you can indulge in some selfless shopping.

In addition to a beach holiday, in India you can visit one of the Ayurveda centers, master meditation techniques or do yoga, and beach parties are very popular among young people. Tourists go boating, water skiing, surfing and parasailing. Fans of excursions will be able to see the great architectural heritage of India by visiting the cities of the Golden Triangle, the most significant of which are Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. It is no less interesting to see the luxurious natural attractions.
At the beginning of March, India traditionally celebrates the arrival of spring - the Holi holiday, when people sprinkle colored powder on each other and pour water on them right on the street. The cheerful mischief lasts all day and stops with the onset of darkness.

Malaysia
One of the best places for a beach holiday in March is the high tourist season that begins this month. During the day in Malacca and Penang +31°C, at night +26°C, sea water +30°C. Rains are rare and short-lived.
Where and how can you relax in March 2020 in Malaysia? On the islands of the country there are parks and nature reserves, diving centers, golf, tennis and horse riding clubs. The island of Borneo is known for its wild forests, stunning mountainous terrain and white sandy beaches. Here you can swim with turtles, snorkel and dive, and in Penang you can go water skiing, yachting and parasailing. The cable car on the island of Langkawi takes tourists to the highest point, from where you can see not only the entire island, but also the shores of the nearby states of Thailand and Indonesia.

Thailand has become a popular destination due to its reasonable pricing policy and wide tourism opportunities. Vacationers have fun diving, snorkeling, visiting National parks and nature reserves, animal farms, plantations and tropical gardens. In March, Thailand hosts a national holiday - Elephant Day, which is solemnly celebrated with elegant processions and feeding of the animals. Day trips to temple complexes and islands are popular. Young people prefer to relax in nightlife establishments; Pattaya stubbornly leads in the quantity and quality of such entertainment.

Where to go on vacation in March/April? Where to go on holiday at sea in March/April, go to sightseeing tour to Europe, excursions around Russia and Moscow. Top 3 countries for a budget holiday at sea.
April is a month of transition. The main winter destinations for seaside holidays, such as India (GOA), are becoming less comfortable due to climatic conditions, the humidity level is rising, and it is becoming hotter. At the same time, resorts Mediterranean Sea, such as Italy, Spain, Turkey, cannot yet please tourists with warm sea water and lack of wind. But this has its advantages, I’ll tell you which ones a little later.
I suggest you figure out where you can still swim in the sea and where it’s better to go excursion holiday, enjoy the awakening of nature, flowering and the first rays of the sun after a long winter.
UAE (United Arab Emirates)
Winter (if you can call this period that) in the United Arab Emirates smoothly turns into spring, in March-April. The water in the Persian Gulf will be warmer than in the Gulf of Oman (Emirate of Fujairah) and can warm up to 28 degrees.
To ensure that you are comfortable swimming and relaxing, as well as getting into the rain as little as possible, buy a ready-made travel package to the Arab Emirates from mid-March. The closer we get to summer, the hotter it gets in the Emirates. This super-hot weather won't be to everyone's taste.
Europe
Spring is the ideal time to visit the sights of European countries such as Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, Greece, Cyprus. For example, I recommend visiting Venice - there is no unpleasant smell from the canals and there are few people.
The Czech Republic is also an ideal place to relax: the first leaves are blooming on the trees and snowdrops are making their way through the thickness of the earth. If in March the first leaves appear on the trees, then in April the Czech Republic turns into a blooming garden.
At the end of March - April, the air temperature in the Czech Republic, depending on the region of the country, ranges from +11 to +20 degrees Celsius during the day, and at night not lower than +8 degrees. weather in March-April It’s already warm and sunny like summer.
However, you need to take into account that the weather during the transition season is very capricious, you never know whether you will need warm clothes or whether they will just lie in your bag.
If for you Greece is a country only for beach holidays, then this is absolutely not true! Mainland Greece is full of interesting and historical places that are worth visiting.
Thessaloniki is one of the most beautiful cities in the country, Pieria (the place where the ancient Greek Gods sat in the Olympic Riviera), Meteora (can be compared to Stonehenge in England, only on a larger scale).
Unlike the Czech Republic, in Greece the average temperature already exceeds +12 degrees in the shade and the weather is not so rainy.
An undoubted advantage of visiting Mediterranean countries in the off-season is the inexpensive price of vacation.
Holidays on the Red Sea
For those who are looking forward to the discovery of Egypt, but still can’t wait, as well as for lovers of the Red Sea, with its gorgeous coral reefs, there is an analogue - Jordan (Gulf of Aqaba) and Israel (Eilat).
But in fact, there is still no alternative to the year-round availability of Egyptian resorts, either in price or in terms of seasonality. And yet, there are some places where you can go without a visa in the spring and snorkel in your beloved Red Sea.
Not everyone likes the Asian flavor and the long 11-hour flight. Also, there are still ardent fans of all-inclusive holidays, in other words adherents of “seal holidays”. But not everyone can afford to plan a vacation in the summer (to Turkey, for example).
Let's talk about each resort in order:
Jordan (Aqaba)
Due to the location of the mountains around this resort, the air temperature throughout the year does not fall below +22 degrees, the average water temperature is +20 degrees.
You can get to Aqaba by purchasing a ticket to Amman or by charter flight as part of a package tour.
The wealth of the underwater world is the main attraction of the Gulf of Aqaba coast. In the northern part of the Gulf of Aqaba the beaches are sandy, while closer to the south they are more rocky with coral reefs. There are beaches that belong to hotels, and there are also public ones where locals can relax.
Of course, prices for holidays in Egypt and Jordan are not comparable, even though the sea is the same.
A tour to Jordan for 9-10 nights (2 adults) will cost at least 100 thousand rubles.
Israel (Eilat)
average temperature air temperature in Eilat is +26 degrees, sea water temperature is +21 degrees.
Unlike its neighbor Egypt, in Israel you can book a hotel on a breakfast or half board basis (breakfast + dinner), thanks to the developed infrastructure and transport accessibility in the resort area.
Despite the “antiquity” of this city, there are few attractions in Eilat. Everyone comes here for the Red Sea, diving and snorkeling.
Unlike Aqaba, which is surrounded by a chain of mountains and reliably protected from the wind, Eilat in March is characterized by winds (“hasmin”), which create discomfort when leaving the water. The weather in March in Eilat has a “sharply continental” character - the sun can warm up and become hot as soon as it disappears behind the clouds - you want to wear a jacket.
In April, the sun begins to “hot”, and as a result, the water in the sea warms up to 23 degrees. Humidity levels are very low this month. For those who do not tolerate heat well due to humidity - just right.
Therefore, if you are planning your trip to the Red Sea in April and don’t know what to choose, I still recommend Jordan. The climate there will be more comfortable this month. If you need resort infrastructure + excursions to Jerusalem, then Israel.
Although in Israel it is much more interesting - a variety of beaches for every taste and color: beaches where you can swim with dolphins, beaches with gorgeous reefs and marine life, a wild and reserved beach.
TOP 3 countries for budget holidays at sea in March-April
1. Türkiye
When I flew to Turkey on a business trip, I even managed to burn out. However, I never dared to go into the sea, even during the hottest hours (from 12-00 to 14-00). Nevertheless, many tourists calmly swam in the sea, some even took a long swim. Of course, everyone has their own “temperature” threshold, in other words, some are “freezing” like me, and others are more seasoned.
I think the prices are a huge advantage of visiting Turkey in March-April - you have the chance to relax in a quality hotel, where the food is delicious and the rooms are comfortable. The cost of a holiday in such hotels in the summer season is simply off the charts.
In addition, I would note the opportunity to sunbathe and simply breathe the sea for health, finally go to the gym and warm up in the sauna.
What about swimming? If you can't, like me, go into 20-21 degree water, there are always heated and indoor pools on site. In addition, many hotels have wind protection (a kind of canopy).
2. Tunisia
If you are considering Tunisia as a beach holiday in March-April, then I recommend choosing the island of Djerba. There the sea will be 2-3 degrees warmer, and the weather will be less windy and rainy.
As in Turkey, for little money, you can choose a hotel with thalassotherapy, buy a healing course with therapeutic mud and Tunisian clay, at a big discount.
And by the way, in April, fragrant strawberries are already ripening in Turkey and Tunisia.
3. Cyprus
This sunny island cannot fail to please its guests. It’s worth coming here for delicious Greek cuisine, gentle sunshine and the aromas of orange trees blossoming.
The sea temperature will be about the same as in Turkey - 20-21 degrees. I recommend entering the water from Nissi Beach, where the water is shallow and the water will be a little warmer.

Where else can you go in March-April?
China (Hainan)
This month is considered "high season". Sea water +25 degrees. For those who can tolerate stuffiness and tropical humidity.
Japan
April is the month of cherry blossoms. For those who, in order to admire the natural beauties of the East, are ready to spend a lot on their trip.
In the 21st century, it is no longer necessary to take a vacation in the summer to soak up the rays of the hot sun, sunbathe, or swim in the sea. At any time of the year there is a “warm place”.
Let's see where to relax, say, abroad in March 2020? Many countries offer inexpensive beach holidays, when it’s still cold at home and even snowstorms are not uncommon.
Goa - the “non-Indian” pearl of India
Tourists will experience a subtropical winter. During the day, swimming in the sea (up to + 28), sunbathing on the beach (from +32 to +34), or at night (+28), breathing in the fresh sea air, you don’t want to remember that you will soon have to return to the chilly March spring.
March is the end of the “high season”, there are fewer vacationers, prices for tours are noticeably reduced. A great opportunity to celebrate Women's Day (March 8) by going for a few days into the summer.
India is a land of contrasts
- southern coast with well-groomed beaches, clean calm sea. Impeccable service, relaxed relaxation - what is required for older people or families with children.
- the northern part is more suitable for young people as a budget option. Despite the poorly developed infrastructure, constant surf with muddy waters, and dark volcanic sand, active tourists never get bored. Surfing is the main entertainment for professionals (Twin Peaks, Ashvem Rock) and beginners (Shanti, Aoambole, Kiwis).
When going to Goa, you need to mentally prepare for some unpleasant features. Yes, the beaches and sea are magnificent. Soft, powdery, silvery sand; azure (almost calm) sea; well-developed tourist service in the south.
Fun, noisy parties, nightlife in the north. Holidays, festivals, exotic...
And dirty streets littered with garbage, poverty of the local population, chaos on the roads...
Find cheap flights Find cheap hotelsFabulous holiday in the UAE
A country where 365 days are summer. Coral reefs, amazing nature, volcanic lakes with crystal water... and the ubiquitous sand, sometimes white, sometimes bright yellow,... sometimes unusually red. 50% of tourists choose the emirate for their holiday based on the color of the sand.
This country has everything. But if something is not there, it will definitely appear. It seems that if you rub the “magic lamp”, every wish of the guest will come true.
March is a temporary bridge between the “winter cold” and the summer heat of the subtropics. This is especially felt in the Emirates. Daytime warmth (+25 - +27) changes to night coolness (+20 - +23).
Not everyone likes swimming when the water warms up to +30. Much more pleasant is the slightly cool water of the Persian (+23) or Oman (+21) gulfs at first spring month.
As April approaches, summer is in full swing.
The beaches are almost free - the tourist season will begin very soon. In the meantime, you can enjoy a seaside holiday relatively inexpensively.
On the territory of such a small state, summer lovers will find resorts, each of which is unique.
Most famous
- Dubai;
- Sharaj;
- Abu Dhabi;
- Korfakan;
- Fujairah;
- Deira;
- Jebel Ali...
The United Arab Emirates will please every traveler. The only downside is the prices for tours.
Find cheap flights Find cheap hotelsBali – the island of two seasons
Yes Yes. There are only two seasons on the Indonesian island:
- dry, from April to October,
- "rainy season" which ends in March.
Thanks to the equatorial monsoon climate, there are no sharp temperature fluctuations. Even the times of sunsets (18.00) and sunrises (6.00) are the same all year round.
New Year It is not necessary to meet in Bali. Although the “Day of Silence” is a local New Year’s holiday, in 2020 (March 7) almost coincides with March 8. Therefore, going there is a great decision.
The rainy season is ending and the sweltering dry heat is still to come. You will still have to take an umbrella - predicting the weather on this capricious island is not easy.
March is considered off-season. If you are unlucky with the weather (it rains every day), then in a few hours a speedboat will take tourists to the Gili - the neighboring islands, where it is sunny at this time.
"Advantages and disadvantages"
- Warm weather, water “like fresh milk”, not too many tourists yet, more chances to book accommodation upon arrival, tours are cheaper.
- There are not many disadvantages, but they are significant. Due to the high humidity, not all people feel comfortable in such a climate.
- Since the “high season” begins in April, the beaches cannot boast of cleanliness. Especially in Canggu and Kuta. There is a lot of garbage in the ocean.
The best resorts for a holiday in March are Sanur or Nusa Dua.
Find cheap flights Find cheap hotelsCountry of the “Main Earth Pyramids” – Egypt
98 percent of earthlings think so, although not only this country is “rich” in pyramids.
Egypt, familiar to beach and sea lovers, would not be the most ideal choice for a holiday in March.
The problem becomes sandstorms. A strong desert wind with dusty clouds covers almost the entire territory. The air temperature (although there is very little air left) instantly rises to +40 degrees.
On the coast, where most of the resorts are located, it is calmer - dry winds with sand (hamsins) rarely get there. Usually, windy weather calms down in the second half of March. If you want to relax on the Red Sea, then you don’t have to choose.
You need to go north:
- Tabe;
- Sharm el-Sheikh;
- Dahab;
- Marsa Alam;
- Naama Bay;
- Luxor.
Although the Sinai Peninsula is cool at night (up to +17), summer temperatures remain during the day (+25). Water after " winter cold“It’s just starting to warm up (+22- +24).
Temperatures in the Gulf of Aqaba region are slightly lower. The warmest place in Marsa Alam is up to +28 degrees during the day.
In March, eager vacationers open the swimming season. Especially if the hotel is located next to a closed bay.
The mountains surrounding Sharm el-Sheikh provide excellent protection from the winds. But the prices of this resort are steep.
In the off-season, tours to Egypt are not too expensive, although for those on a budget (up to $200) who are forced to vacation in March, other seaside resorts are more suitable.
Find cheap flights Find cheap hotelsTropical Dominican Republic
In the Dominican Republic, March is the final month of the “high season”. The weather is not too hot (up to +30), the sea on the coast is very warm - +26, and the ocean is a little cooler - +25 degrees. There are no strong winds, but a light breeze is refreshing.
In the first month of spring, the carnival is still going on and preparations for the Easter holidays are underway.
The most popular holiday destinations at the beginning of spring are Sosua and Cabarete, where comfortable conditions have been created for guests.
Other resorts
- Punkta-Kan;
- Puerto Plat;
- La Roman;
- Bayabi.
Everywhere tourists will enjoy the snow-white soft sand of the beaches and warm water. Terrestrial landscapes rival the beauty of the underwater world. Exotic fruits, National cuisine, fishing, diving, mating games of humpback whales.…
From April onwards, the temperature and humidity increase significantly. Therefore, March is the best month to relax in a tropical paradise.
If we can talk about “cons”, then:
- too much sun. You can't do without a wide-brimmed hat, a beach umbrella and sunscreen;
- Last minute tours are not affordable for everyone;
- operators offer vacations starting from six days.
Where to go in March with a child
You can arrange an unforgettable vacation for your child not only in the summer. It's much more interesting to go in the summer when it's still cold, wet and snowy at home. March is suitable for such a trip - the time of spring break.
Modern seaside resorts, with rare exceptions, are perfectly equipped for families with children. Developed infrastructure, well-established food, special children's programs, recreation areas and clubs for children of different ages Even “beginners” offer it.
For example: a holiday in Thailand in March, despite the long flight, is one of the best options for families with children. Many hotels do not charge fees for children under five years of age.
With children, you need to select tours with a short flight time (up to five hours). These are Egypt (4.5 hours), UAE (5 hours), Turkey (3 – 4 hours). It’s easier with teenagers – travel time doesn’t play a decisive role.
It is important to take into account the interests of the child - hikes, excursions, adventures, festivals. Few children would agree to sunbathe all day on the beach for a week or two.
It is not advisable to take children to the sea for two or three days in March. A sharp change in climatic conditions requires several days to adapt.
Where to relax in March without a visa
Continuing the list of countries with excellent beach resorts, let’s name five more where you don’t need a visa to enter.
Thailand
In this country, March is the time velvet season" Therefore, more than a million tourists from Russia prefer to relax in the south of Thailand.

The water is so warm (+28) that you can swim for hours without going ashore. This is a real paradise for children. If you add here a large number of excursion routes, historical monuments, elephant riding, then this the best place for relax.
Married couples also like to relax in Phuket, Pattaya, Samui... or any other resort in March.
For those who can hardly bear the heat, it is better to spend their holidays in Koh Samui, Koh Chang, Hua Hin, and Phatang. Temperatures are higher in the south.

In addition, March is a great month for relaxing with children of middle and high school age. It is best to choose Unavantuna, where the sea is calmer.
“Disadvantages” of a holiday in Sri Lanka:
- ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is required;
- long flight times;
- It’s not very comfortable to relax with small children.
Exoticism and contrast of Vietnam
The shape and landscapes of Vietnam determine the contrasting climate in different parts countries. When it's hot in the south, people in the north are forced to dress warmly.

Feeling their gentle warmth, you just want to rush somewhere far away to the sea and sun, to forget about the slush and grayness at least for a few days. But the problem is that not every country is suitable for a spring holiday. So, the question remains open - where to go to the sea in March? We will present a list of places where you can have a great rest and enjoy the warm sea breeze at the very beginning of spring.
March: benefits of spring holidays
Before deciding where to go to the seaside in March, it’s worth finding out how safe this trip will be for you. After all, not every person will benefit from a spring holiday and add health; a March trip to the sea has its pros and cons. Let's look at them, and you decide for yourself whether you really need the warm sea in March.
The advantages of the March holiday include, first of all, preparing the body for the summer season. After a long winter, the body urgently needs warmth and sunlight. During rest, vitamin D begins to be produced, which a person needs for good health. In addition, the sea allows you to relax and saturate the body with oxygen and microelements. When you arrive home, you are unlikely to catch any cold. Don’t forget about fruits, they will become yours on vacation best helpers to cleanse the intestines of toxins. After all, in winter we prefer to eat heavy and fatty foods, spring period our body is trying to adapt to a different mode of operation, and fruit abundance will help it with this. Well, and most importantly, a beach holiday in March will give you a lot of positive emotions, which will give you the opportunity to successfully survive the slushy and wet spring in the city.
Disadvantages of a beach holiday in March
After all these advantages, I don’t really want to talk about the disadvantages of a holiday at sea in the spring. But they still exist. The most serious enemy that can ruin your beach holiday in March is vitamin deficiency. During the winter period, the body experienced a severe lack of vitamins and sunlight, which significantly undermined its resources. Therefore, a sharp change in climate can cause exacerbation of chronic diseases and a host of other problems. You should not forget about this when planning your vacation. Instead of enjoying your time on the beach, you might end up spending your entire vacation lying in bed with a fever or an upset stomach. Another whim of the body can be spring depression. Psychologists believe that more than 70% of the population is susceptible to it. And after sunny and lazy days of rest, it will be even more difficult for you to return to the working rhythm, which can cause an exacerbation of depression even in a very resilient person.
Where to relax in March: Asia
If you have definitely decided to relax in the spring, we will tell you where to go to the sea in March. The list of destinations offers quite a wide range to choose from, so you are sure to be able to find a country that will become your refuge from the gloomy winter days.
The best choice would be Asian countries. In March, the dry season has not yet begun in many of them, and the weather is extremely comfortable for Russian tourists. In Thailand and Vietnam you can enjoy warm seas and beautiful weather. And in India you will feel how the monsoon season is gradually coming with high temperature and humidity. The climate in Singapore allows you to have a great holiday here in March; you don’t have to worry about cloudy days and downpours.
Is it possible to relax in Israel and the UAE in March?
A good March holiday in the UAE, at this time it is very warm weather, and the number of sales is just off the charts. You can not only soak up the sand, but also have a great time in numerous shopping centers and boutiques.
In Israel in March the air warms up to twenty-three degrees above zero Celsius. Without the stifling heat, you can enjoy the beauty of the country and heal on the shores of the Dead Sea.
In the Seychelles in March it is very expensive comfortable temperature, but don't forget about the showers. They sometimes last for several days, however, without affecting the average daily air temperature.
Cost of March holiday
If you want to save money on your vacation, then feel free to buy tours to the sea in March. This is exactly the season when tour operators reduce prices for their services. This reduction in prices is due to the fact that the winter influx of tourists has already ended, and the next one is expected only for the May holidays. Therefore, in order to lure our compatriots, travel agencies are racing to reduce prices and offer a wide variety of package tours.
On average, the price for a two-week vacation, for example, in Thailand will be 30% lower than in January-February. And Mexico and Cuba will cost even less, because in the spring the dry season begins here, when the number of tourists gradually begins to decrease to a minimum.
The most inexpensive resorts for a March holiday
You can have an inexpensive holiday at sea in March in several countries. Feel free to include:
- countries of Southeast Asia;
- Egypt;
- Cuba.
So, first things first. The most budget-friendly holidays on the warm sea will, of course, be Thailand, Vietnam and Bali. During this period, there is a decline in tourists and you can enjoy a relaxing holiday away from the crowds of our compatriots. If you are on a very limited budget, but want to be closer to infrastructure, then choose Thai beaches. Pattaya is ideal for you - the air temperature at this time does not fall below thirty-five degrees Celsius, and the sea warms up to thirty degrees. Add to this a lot of cheap fruit and inexpensive excursions - and all the components of a great holiday are collected.
Bali is very calm in March; at the end of the month they celebrate the arrival of the new year. According to the traditions of local residents, this holiday is celebrated with asceticism and modesty. Therefore, if you want fun and beach parties, then Bali is still not your option.
Holidays in Vietnam will be a little more expensive than in Thailand, but also very affordable. On average, a ten-day trip for two will cost you fifty thousand rubles. The average monthly temperature in Vietnam in March does not fall below thirty degrees, the sea warms up to twenty-eight degrees Celsius.
Egypt is currently one of the cheapest destinations in the tourism industry. Problems in the country have almost completely cleared the beaches of tourists and only now our compatriots are beginning to return to the shores of the Red Sea. Many tourists are afraid to vacation in Egypt in March due to strong winds and fairly low average monthly temperatures. But in fact, the weather situation at this time does not quite coincide with how it is presented - the winter winds calm down, and warm, pleasant weather sets in on the coast. During the day, the thermometer rises to twenty-five degrees, and sea swimming is suitable for those who are not afraid of temperatures of twenty degrees Celsius. When choosing a hotel, inquire about the availability of an indoor pool. In March, differences in day and night temperatures in Egypt can be up to ten degrees.
Cuba is good at any time of the year, but in March it is very comfortable here. The dry season has not yet arrived, so tourists can enjoy the warm sea and gentle sun, from which they do not yet need to escape in the shade.
Holidays in March: where is the warmest sea?
The competition for the best sea in March would rightfully be won by the Indian state of Goa. Typically, our compatriots prefer to vacation in Goa in winter; they believe that during this period the weather is most comfortable. But in fact, in March the coast will open up to you from a completely different side. The arrival of wet monsoons is accompanied by vigorous growth of plants, in addition to which the average monthly temperature rises. During this period, tourists will be able to sunbathe and swim at thirty degrees, and the water temperature is almost comparable to the air temperature. This makes a beach holiday in Goa very comfortable and desirable.
Only Sri Lanka can compete with the March beach holiday in Goa. In March, it rarely rains here, and the air warms up above thirty degrees Celsius. The sea will also delight lovers of swimming with a temperature of thirty degrees. The only trouble may be differences in day and night temperatures. Although they usually do not amount to more than five degrees. The advantages of Sri Lanka include low prices in March, which will delight budget tourists.
Let's talk about Israel: features of holidays in March
You can relax in Israel all year round, so March is no exception. You can devote your vacation only to a beach holiday or combine it with visiting holy places. In any case, the weather will please you, it will not be too hot, but at the same time warm enough to enjoy being in the sun.
The sea in Israel in March is not suitable for swimming at all resorts. If you absolutely want to swim, then go to Eilat. At this time, the air temperature in the Red Sea rises to twenty-six degrees Celsius, and the sea warms up to twenty-four degrees Celsius. In addition, the tourist season is just opening in March, and all the attention of the hotel staff will be focused only on you.
The warmest in March in Israel is the Dead Sea. Its temperature reaches summer levels and fluctuates around twenty-five degrees. During the day, the air warms up to the same temperature; the differences between day and night temperature indicators are not as significant as in Egypt. Tourists hardly notice them. Therefore, if you are still wondering where to swim in the sea in March, then feel free to go to Israel.
Mediterranean: beach holidays in March
Do you adore the Mediterranean coast? And that’s why you don’t even want to think about where to go to the seaside in March? Very in vain. No matter how much you long for familiar shores, this is not the best place for swimming in March. The air and water temperatures leave no chance for beach lovers. Spain, Italy, Greece can “delight” you with temperatures no higher than seventeen to twenty degrees. You can imagine what sea bathing will be like at this time.
Of course, in March you can visit the Mediterranean coast in order to travel around the countries and enjoy the architectural and historical monuments, but you’ll have to forget about swimming until May. But if you can’t reschedule your vacation, and the Mediterranean beckons, then try going to Cyprus. Here the climate is a little milder and the weather will really please you.
Cyprus in March: weather and sea temperature
Spring in Cyprus is a special sight. Carpets of flowers are blooming all around and fruit trees are beginning to bloom. The gentle sun makes any walk pleasant, and the sea beckons you to plunge into it at least for a few minutes.
But still, not every tourist will go to Cyprus in March - the weather and sea temperature are not very conducive to prolonged swimming. During the day the air can warm up to twenty-five degrees, but at night it can drop to fifteen. This significantly affects the water temperature - it usually does not rise above eighteen to twenty degrees Celsius. Therefore, decide for yourself whether Cyprus is suitable for you in March. Our compatriots who have returned from a trip to this island often talk about the excellent weather and boast about their golden tan.
Latin America: is March good for a holiday?
If you have long dreamed of visiting the Mexican pyramids or seeing the statue of Christ over Rio de Janeiro, then March is the best time to travel to Latin America. In Mexico, Brazil and Chile, March is a real hot summer. The average monthly temperature is thirty-five degrees Celsius, and the sea resembles fresh milk. In March, the heat is still slightly offset by cool night air, so you can not only swim and lie on the sand, but also visit all the sights. And there is a lot to see in Latin America!
China: swimming season opens
If you want to swim and sunbathe, then go to Hainan Island. It is simply beautiful in spring, and the weather in March is more reminiscent of summer, but is not accompanied by stifling heat and humidity.
Usually the air warms up to thirty degrees Celsius, and the sea temperature in March does not drop below twenty-five degrees. This is great for a beach holiday. In addition, do not forget that here you can not only relax, but also improve your health. There are many hotels in Hainan with special programs, after which you will forget about the winter blues and fatigue.
