Best family holiday destinations for warm weather and sunshine in March
Where to travel in March for the best family holidays with your children abroad in the sun or here in the UK
In March, the promise of warmth is coming and you won’t have to go quite as far to seek out the sunshine.
Here are our top picks for family trips in the third month of the year.
Morocco
Travel time from the UK: 3.5 hours
Temperature: 17-25C
Agadir, Morocco
Morocco is nicely warm in March.
You can choose the explosion of sights and smells in Marrakech or Casablanca.
But there are also more straightforward bucket-and-spade holiday options in a ready-made tourist resort like Agadir with sweeping beaches and large all-inclusive hotels.
Los Angeles, USA
Travel time from the UK: 10 hours
Temperature: 20C
Los Angeles
LA in California is hot and humid in the summer but ideal in early spring.
There’s a Disneyland Resort and Universal Studios of course but also the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the beaches of Santa Monica and museums with everything from dinosaurs to space shuttles.
Florida, USA
Travel time from the UK: 10 hours
Temperature: 20-26C
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Florida
Florida is at its best when it isn’t too hot to hit Disney World.
In spring it isn’t too hot to queue for rides but is warm enough to be on the beach.
There are so many activities for children and make sure you consider alternatives to Orlando and its theme parks, like the Tampa Bay area, the Gulf Coast from Naples or south to the Florida Keys.
Madrid
Travel time from the UK: 2 hours
Temperature: 16C
Madrid
The Spanish capital is warming up in March for a city break with a difference.
You can explore the parks and squares as well as sample some tapas.
Madrid also has an excellent zoo and aquarium, a cable car and on the outskirts there is the Warner Bros theme park.
Windermere, Lake District, UK
Temperature: 8C
Windermere
March means daffodils across the beautiful Lake District in the northwest of England.
Yes, it’s still cold but there is so much colour.
We visited Windermere in March where you can balance spring walks with indoor attractions like the World of Beatrix Potter and the Aquarium of the Lakes. Read our article here: Five family-friendly activities around Windermere in the Lake District
