The Easter crowds have left and many places are delightfully quiet. The weather is warming up in Europe; the sunny restaurant terraces are beckoning and everywhere is blossoming. Pack your bags before everyone else and enjoy a city break or some island beaches.
The Italian Lakes
With the azaleas and rhododendrons in full bloom, fringing the clear waters of the lakes, and the temperatures just about perfect, this is one of our favourite times to visit. The gardens are at their best, whilst hiking up into the mountains promises rewarding clear views and the lakeside terraces are uncrowded.

Santorini
Go in early May for cooler temperatures and fewer visitors, or late May for heat. The sea is warm enough to swim in, and if you’d like to walk some of the volcanic trails, experiencing the incredible island vistas, the weather is ideal. All the restaurants and boutiques are open, and the beaches not too crowded.

Southern Spain
The temperature gauge is looking good and the Andalucian coastline is calling. The summer crowds have yet to arrive, so you’ll have plenty of space at the beach, and peace and quiet around the pool. Take to the Med aboard a private yacht, or head for the hills and the pueblos blancos.

Maldives
It may be the beginning of the monsoon season, but that doesn’t mean long periods of rain. It does mean however, there are often great deals to be had. The sea temperature is a consistent 30°C, and the sun continues to shine. If you’re a keen kitesurfer, the month of May is the best time to go.

St Lucia
May brings the Jazz and Arts Festival to the island, with some of the best musicians in the world flying in. Couple this with temperatures reaching the late 20s, sunny days with the occasional shower to keep the humidity away, and lower prices. So, find the perfect quiet spot on the beach and soak it all up.

Turks & Caicos
The winter hordes are long gone and this idyllic archipelago is slipping out of peak season. You’ll get a good dose of vitamin D with consistent sun and temperatures hitting the early 30s. The calm weather also makes it an ideal time for game fishing, diving and snorkelling. The end of May brings the South Caicos Regatta – one of the cultural highlights of the calendar.

Malawi
May brings the start of the dry season, and with it, warm temperatures and clear skies. It’s a good time to see wildlife, as the bush begins to get less dense, and game gather around watering holes. Head to Kaya Mawa and enjoy kayaking, and snorkelling amongst the cichlids in near perfect conditions.

Indonesia
The dry season has just begun and you can expect around nine hours of sunshine each day. And because it’s still not peak season, the islands will be less crowded. It’s an ideal time for summiting volcanoes at dawn, learning to surf or exploring elaborate temples – there’s a lot to choose from.
