March sees the winter snows thawing and the temperatures in many parts of the world levelling out. Those looking for sunshine and sand can consider the Seychelles, Sri Lanka, and Koh Samui where the beaches come with activities for couples and families. Those looking to expel some energy can head into nature in New Zealand, or try trekking in spiritual Nepal. Cuba’s mix of historical cool and the Caribbean coastline will appeal to those wanting to immerse themselves in culture.
Its geographic location, nestled between the soaring peaks of the Himalayas and the Indian jungle, make Nepal a country with a hugely diverse landscape and where multiple adventures are possible. Trekking, tiger hunting through national parks and visiting Kathmandu's many temples and monasteries are just some of the highlights that await.
Landlocked by South Africa, Mozambique, Zambia and Botswana, vibrant Zimbabwe is the wild heart of Africa. As home to one of the greatest natural wonders in the world, Zimbabwe is firmly on the map for tourists, but the country has far more to offer than just Victoria Falls.
A historic and newly happening destination, Ho Chi Minh has an array of colourful markets, historic landmarks, cultural museums, fantastic tailors and world-famous street food. It’s also home to a burgeoning dining and nightlife scene and acts as a captivating first stop on a greater Vietnam itinerary.
This is a country that has it all: go tea picking in the Hill country, spot leopards on a luxurious safari in Yala National Park, and complete your trip with surfing and beach-chic down south. Sri Lanka also has a fantastic collection of private villas that are great for families and friends.
With its distinctly European heritage, impressive natural wonders, succulent food and wine and laid-back vibe, Argentina is a must-visit for March whilst in South America.

The Galapagos Islands are one of the rare places where you can snorkel with seals, hang out with iguanas by the beach, observe giant turtles and enjoy at the striking scenery all in one day. See this unique destination in March, and time permitting, go on to include Latin America.
Want city? Wander the cobbled streets and plazas of Havana to the pulsing backdrop of afrobeat, jazz and salsa. Want beach? Hit the Caribbean coastline and the Cayos, a group of nearby tiny islands. Want something different? Go inland to the red valleys where tobacco fields are backed by ancient rock formations.
The Seychelles is not just a favourite destination amongst honeymooners.
