Discover where is hot in May

Certainly! In May, several destinations around the world bask in warm sunshine. Whether you’re seeking a city break or a beach escape, here are some places where you can enjoy the sun:

  1. Lisbon, Portugal: Portugal’s capital city is blessed with year-round sunshine. In May, you can start building your summer tan while wandering through the beautiful old town. Don’t miss the delicious Pastel de nata (custard tart) and explore the atmospheric bars and clubs that come alive in the evenings. Tram 28 offers an interesting route for sightseeing, and getting lost in the old city might lead you to hidden gems.
  1. Athens, Greece: Late spring and early summer are the best times to visit historical Athens. The days are blissfully long, filled with sunshine and blue skies. Tour the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and the ancient Agora during the day, and spend evenings in one of the city’s squares, sipping iced coffee. The markets come alive in the evenings, so explore the Plaka and Monastiraki districts for souvenirs and local delights.
  1. Sardinia, Italy: With an average temperature of 24°C (75°F), Sardinia offers a delightful beach break in May. Enjoy the crystal-clear waters, stunning coastline, and Mediterranean cuisine.
  1. Corsica, France: Corsica boasts an average temperature of 22°C (72°F) in May. Explore its rugged landscapes, picturesque villages, and pristine beaches.
  1. Crete, Greece: Another Greek gem, Crete, enjoys an average temperature of 24°C (75°F). Discover ancient ruins, relax on beautiful beaches, and savor Greek delicacies.
  1. San Pedro, Belize: If you’re dreaming of the Caribbean, head to San Pedro, where the average temperature is a balmy 30°C (86°F). Dive into the turquoise waters and explore the Belize Barrier Reef.
  1. Playa Del Carmen, Mexico: With an average temperature of 28°C (83°F), Playa Del Carmen offers a vibrant beach scene, Mayan ruins, and lively nightlife.

Remember to pack your sunscreen and shades, and enjoy the warmth wherever you choose to go!

There are countless hot and sunny holidays in May. Here are some of our favourite destinations.  

Cyprus is a fantastic place to go for a sunshine holiday in May with a choice of resorts for party animals, family holidays and cosy breaks with your loved one. Protaras, Ayia Napa, Larnaca and Paphos are a few of the favourites.

Tenerife is a year round favourite but May is a great time to go before it really hots up and gets super busy over the summer months. 

The Dominican Republic has a few thunderstorms in May but these quickly clear and the island basks in blue skies and average temperatures of 31 ºC.  If you are looking for an all inclusive holiday in the May sunshine, then the Dom Rep should be on your shortlist.
