Best destinations in May

May holidays for couples

May holidays are particularly good for couples looking to go away to popular destinations, but at a quieter time. You could escape to the Balearic Islands, where you can take it slow on the beach or trek through the landscape. Cyprus is another option; it’s a great place to explore historic sites or soak up some rays. Wherever you go, you’ll enjoy some serious downtime, and it will be much quieter compared to the hustle and bustle of the summer season.

May family holidays

Holidays in May are also ideal if you’re travelling with children in tow. You’re sure to find plenty of destinations where it’s lovely and sunny, but not too hot for your little travel buddies. Your options include the Canary Islands, which are only a short flight away from home. Because you’re travelling before the summer holidays, you’ll also have time to take things at your own pace, with fewer crowds to contend with. We offer a superb range of May holiday deals, with departures from airports that are local to you, so you spend more time holidaying and less time getting there.

FAQs

FAQs

Where is hot in May?

May brings warm days to Crete, the Costa Blanca and Rhodes, while Turkey's Mediterranean coast starts to hit proper beach-holiday temperatures.

What is the best holiday destination for May?

May is one of the best-value months to travel, with warm Mediterranean weather arriving in destinations like Corfu, Ibiza and Menorca before school summer holiday price rises kick in, so it all comes down to whether you're chasing sunny vibes, a family-friendly resort, or a quieter spot before the summer rush sets in.

Is May a good time to book a holiday?

May falls outside the main UK school holidays, so there's typically more flexibility on price and availability than in half-term or summer months.

Is May a good month for a family holiday?

With no UK school holidays in most of May, it tends to be a quieter, better-value month for families, with Majorca, Kos and the Costa del Sol all reliably warm by this point.

How far in advance should you book a May holiday?

A couple of months ahead is usually enough for May, since it's outside peak school holiday demand.
