1. Maldives
July and August is monsoon season in the Maldives, but the rains start to clear in September. There may still be some rainfall but it will be patchy, and temperatures will be balmy (in the high twenties).
Because the weather is less predictable, now is the chance to bag a bargain in the Maldives – a couple of weeks in a luxurious over-water villa, perhaps? Shop around: there are some great savings to be made, so you can bag a high-end resort holiday for a fraction of the usual cost.
2. Croatia
The best September holiday for… Late summer sun
The best way to explore Croatia’s stunning coastline? By private yacht, of course! On our fabulous new ,you will sail on a stylish yacht to some of the most beautiful islands in the Adriatic, where you’ll find breathtaking beaches, pretty ports, Venetian architecture and more…
3. Corfu, Greece
Corfu is perfect for September holidays: the extreme heat of the summer has subsided, and the crowds have long departed. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Lee Durrell – famous naturalist and wife of the late Gerald Durrell – to create an exclusive Woman & Home holiday in Corfu, departing in September 2018.
Lee will give a private talk about her family’s love affair with the island and her late husband Gerald’s pioneering role in wildlife conservation, and accompany you on a visit to some of the Durrell family’s favourite places in Corfu. We have arranged five-star accommodation, and you’ll also cruise to the Greek port of Parga and the tiny, unspoilt island of Paxos. See the details
4.china
There’s no disputing that China is a destination of completely epic proportion, and its size plays a major role in its diversity. From the bright lights of its big cities to the old-world charm of its rural villages – it feels like several countries rolled into one. Given China’s topographical variation you might imagine that it’s hard to pin down a good time to travel here. However, you’d actually be hard-pressed to find a bad place to visit in September.
Temperatures are warm but not humid and the rains have dissipated bringing idyllic conditions for walking the Great Wall, taking a picturesque boat ride down the Yangzi River or exploring the narrow side streets of Shanghai. Apart from digging into as much local Chinese food as you can, make sure you go and see the Terracotta Army in Xi’an too; this astounding archaeological discovery will blow you away.
5. Argentina
Head to Peninsula Valdes nature reserve to spy whales, seals and penguins, or the Lake District – in north-west Argentine Patagonia – to hike among beautiful wild flowers.
The Argentine spring (from September to November) is the best all-round time of year to explore this magnificent country – from the cosmopolitan capital Buenos Aires to the thundering Iguazu Falls and spectacular national parks.
6. South Africa
South Africa’s dry season falls from May to September, and generally offers some top-notch safari conditions. The animals congregate around watering holes, temperatures are mild (with no rainfall), and the malaria risk is low. In September, you won’t have to do battle with the school summer holiday crowds – so you won’t have to jostle to get great views
7. Spain
When the summer crowds have departed, Andalucia – Spain’s southernmost region – puts on its gladrags to celebrate the wine harvest. The area is famed for its fruity sherry-like tipples, as well as some lighter traditional wines, and in September all of the wine-producing towns – Jerez, Competa, Vinuela and lots more – host harvest festivals to celebrate the year’s produce.
8. Italy
This month is perfect for exploring Pompeii, the perfectly-preserved slice of Ancient Italy which was engulfed by the cataclysmic eruption of Vesuvius in AD79. With September’s cooler, crowd-free days, Pompeii is yours to explore – and what better way to see it all than on our new Pompeii and Naples holiday with Professor Michael Scott, an expert historian and BBC TV presenter, who will guide you to Naples’ most fascinating spots.
9.Thailand
There are many beautiful places and attractions in Thailand but there are three specific cities that offer very different views of Thailand. Bangkok is the bustling capital of Thailand and has a population of over 8 million people. The Grand Palace is a must see for grand, traditional Thai architecture.
If you plan to rent a car or motorcycle, note that in Thailand they drive on the left hand side of the road, unlike most of the rest of southeast Asia. And you'll find that the left side vs. the right side of the road is treated pretty flexibly: the lanes each direction adjust on-the-fly as drivers adapt to whichever direction has the most vehicles at any given time. I'm pretty sure that the lines painted on the road are just to comfort the tourists--the locals don't seem to pay any attention to them.
10.Australia
If you are intending to travel in Australia on a budget, this post is for you.
I hate to shatter your dreams of endless Great Barrier Reef scuba dives and glasses of champagne whilst watching an Uluru sunset because Australia is a little on the expensive side. But this post sharing tips Australia budget travel tips will help.
Australia is a huge country with a small population, which means a lack of competition. Our government doesn’t mind slapping on high taxes, especially when it comes to those finer things in life we enjoy, like a cold beer at a nice pub.
They don’t mind a few rules and fines too!
Recently we wrote about the high cost of travel in Australia which caused a little bit of a stir. One reader even suggested we leave HIS country (Psst, it’s our country too – born and bred).
