On the American continent

Cartagena, Isla de Baru and the wild beaches of Tayrona will bring culture, nature and relaxation lovers together.

In Africa and in the Middle-East

With its long stretches of golden sand, its permanent sunshine and 20°C sea temperature in March, Senegal is the place for you. In addition to that, the Savanna, mangrove, Island of Saint Louis and the Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary are good enough reasons to incite you to get off your deckchair. Miles away from the Atlantic coast, the Red Sea coastline shelters premium seaside resorts, perfect for a spring getaway. Its colourful seabed and its proximity with Jordan and Israel make Eilat the ideal place to discover this region. Further West, Dubai and Abu Dhabi are a mix of immodoration, discoveries and relaxation by the water. Between luxury and skyscrapers, a sumptuous resort emerges from the white sand and gives a dreamlike atmosphere to your stay in the United Arab Emirates. And it is not a mirage...

Destinations you should avoid in March

Unless you prefer rainwater to seawater, you should avoid islands in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Africa. It is not the best time to visit Indonesia and Northern Australia either, which are both about to go through the dry season. If you want a stay under the sun of French Polynesia or New Caledonia, you’ll have to wait a few more months for the wet season to end.
