Choosing an off-season holiday is a great way to save money and avoid major vacation crowds, and it doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice good weather and fun. There are plenty of prime holiday destinations around the world that are perfect to visit outside the hustle and bustle of the summer months. If you’re considering booking cheap holidays for this coming November, then here are a few prime destinations to look into.
1. Cyprus
While you might not experience the supreme heat of summer time on a November visit to a coastal town like Paphos, the temperature does rise into the low twenties, making it ideal for walking along the beach or exploring the Trodos Mountains, which are home to ancient monasteries as well as a ski resort.
2. The Caribbean
If you’re after warm weather then consider making your way to one of the beautiful Caribbean Islands. November tends to fall towards the end of the rainy season, meaning increased sunny days and temperatures still reaching daily highs of around thirty degrees. Some of the driest holiday destinations here tend to be Curacao and Kingston, Jamaica, and the southernmost islands.
3. Iceland
For those willing to head into colder weather as opposed to away from it, a trip to Iceland will bring you to this majestic Atlantic island at the perfect time to observe the famous Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights. Reykjavik is an eclectic and vibrant city centre to explore, and the geothermal hot-springs and spas are best experienced in cooler weather.
4. Goa, India
A true beach experience can still be had in the autumn months, but it might mean making your way farther towards the equator, and if that’s what you’re after then a trip to Goa might be just for you. The laid back atmosphere of this coastal region provides visitors with the ultimate chance to lay back, relax, and take-in some rays.
5. Cape Verde
With an average monthly temperature of twenty-six degrees there is plenty of sunshine and warm weather to be had on this archipelago off the west-coast of Africa. If you’re after a relaxed atmosphere and stunning beaches, then Cape Verde might be the destination for you.
For a great and affordable holiday experience why not try booking your next holiday for this coming November.
