Save up to £600 with these travel deals for holidays in March 2026

With spring just around the corner, March is an ideal time to kick-start the travel season. If you’re craving some sunshine after a long winter, it’s one of the best months to book a warm-weather holiday before peak summer crowds and prices hit.

From long-haul escapes to Cape Town and Mexico to short-haul favourites such as Seville and Lanzarote, I’ve rounded up the best deals to stretch your budget further on holidays in March, with destinations recommended by The Independent’s travel team.

If you’re looking for a quick city break, Seville is at its best in March. Enjoy warm spring sunshine and fewer crowds than during the peak summer months. Daytime temperatures can reach 21-22C, making it ideal for sightseeing without the intense heat. With a flight time of less than three hours, it’s a great choice for a culture-packed city break that doesn’t require a long journey.

While Seville is an inland city, many hotels offer pools, which is ideal if you want to factor in some downtime between sightseeing. Tui is currently offering savings of up to £85 per person on Seville breaks in March.

One standout option is the Hesperia Sevilla, available from £282 per night (at the time of writing). The hotel is just a short walk from Seville’s old town and close to a train station, making it easy to get around the city. Facilities include both indoor and outdoor pools, an on-site restaurant, and sleek, contemporary interiors.

March falls within Mexico’s dry season, perfect for long sunny days, low humidity and highs of around 30C in Riviera Maya. Enjoy white-sand beaches, calm seas and flavoursome Mexican cuisine. Plus, there are plenty of activities to enjoy, such as snorkelling and exploring ancient Mayan ruins.

While Mexico may be a longer-haul option, travelling in March can offer better value than peak winter months, particularly on flights. Tui currently has up to £150 off package holidays departing before April. Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun is a great option for families, with its 14-slide waterpark, beachfront location and an impressive 12 restaurants to enjoy.

With warm, dry weather, Cape Town is another great destination for March. Average temperatures sit around 24-26C – ideal for exploring the city, visiting nearby vineyards or taking a drive along the Cape Peninsula.
