The year’s only just about to end, but it’s never too early to consider the best places to travel in March and make good on those new year’s resolutions to “travel more” and “live life to the fullest.” (Or is that just me?) This selection of five destinations, inspired by our list of the Best Places to Go in 2026—and one of our favorite hotel openings of 2025—are ideal for savoring a less-expected time to travel: Rainy season in Botswana? The landscape is lusher and the lodge prices lower. March in Australia? They’re savoring the last bits of their summer Down Under while we’re looking forward to spring. Anywhere you go, we’ve got you covered—here are the best places to travel in March. (For more inspiration, visit our hub for all things Best Places to Go.)
