May is such a great time to get away for a week or two. It’s your last opportunity to get the best out of the Maldives before the rainy season takes hold. It’s also your last chance to enjoy the warmth of the UAE and Morocco before they become quite scorchio!

Off the usual tourist trail, try the beautiful One&Only Portonovi on the stunning Montenegro Adriatic coast. As visitors from some of its traditional sources diminish, this is a terrific time to explore somewhere new. And, being just 40km from Dubovnik in neighbouring Croatia, it’s perfect for an incredible two centre break just three hours from London.

For those looking for the perfect half term break, Turkey and the Algarve offer plenty for families of all ages without the heat of high summer. Improve your golf and tennis, go sailing and cycling, or simply relax with a book by the pool for a few days of much needed peace.

ABU DHABI

Abu Dhabi is well known as a perfect beach-city destination that ticks the boxes for all ages. An easy flight from the UK, it makes for a great May holiday with plenty (or nothing, as you wish) to do. We love the Jumeirah at Saadiyat Island Resort for its understated luxury and excellent service.

Away from the beach, the Anantara Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort offers the opportunity to explore the mysteries of the desert, with 4×4 drives, walking, horse and camel trekking, sand boarding and fat-biking amongst other terrific desert adventures..

THE ALGARVE

With temperatures in the high teens/low twenties, Portugal’s Algarve is a great destination for active holidays in May.

Golfing families will love the Anantara Vilamoura Algarve Resort, with 10 courses to master within 25km, including three adjacent to the resort. But there’s plenty for the non-golfers to love too. Improve your tennis, explore the region and indulge in delicious cuisine and superb spa experiences.

MOROCCO

Spring is the perfect season to fully explore everything Morocco has to offer, without intense heat. At the foot of the Koutoubia Mosque, between the Royal Palace and bustling Jemaa El Fna Square, the Villa des Orangers in Marrakech, is a serene jewel of quiet living. Its authenticity, refined atmosphere, and harmony of shimmering colors, elegant fabrics, and sculptured wood give it unique charm.

An hour from Marrakech, indulge in a super stylish Moroccan safari at Richard Branson’s luxe mountain resort Kasbah Tamadot, situated in the Ouirgane Valley. Sleep in palatial suites or fabulous Berber tents, play tennis in the beautiful gardens, lap the infinity pool, and explore the Atlas Mountains beyond.
