THE BEST DESTINATIONS TO TRAVEL TO IN MARCH

March is that time of year when winter can still be felt across much of Europe, yet we begin to long for light, milder temperatures and a getaway that restores our energy.

It is the perfect moment to pause, enjoy a change of scenery and travel to destinations that combine pleasant weather, unique landscapes, culture and gastronomy. At THB hotels, we have hotels open in Mallorca, Ibiza and Lanzarote – three very different places that share one thing in common: in March, they reveal their most authentic and peaceful side.

 

Mallorca: nature, culture and almond blossom

Mallorca is one of those destinations that feels especially rewarding outside the peak season. In March, the island breathes serenity. Temperatures are mild, ideal for exploring at a leisurely pace and discovering its rich natural and cultural heritage.

The imposing Serra de Tramuntana, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, becomes the perfect setting for walking and cycling. Routes such as the Camí des Correu or the climbs to Coll de Sóller offer mountain scenery, spectacular viewpoints and charming villages along the way. You will not want to miss gems such as Valldemossa, Deià,  Sóller or Fornalutx.

 

 

Palma: history by the sea

The Mallorcan capital is an essential stop. Strolling through the old town, wandering among stately courtyards and arriving at the majestic Cathedral of Mallorca, known as La Seu, is an experience that blends history, architecture and sweeping views over the bay.

It is also an ideal time to visit museums such as Es Baluard Museu d’Art Contemporani or the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation, and to round off the day with local gastronomy: Mallorcan soups, frit de matances – a meaty dish featuring fried pork, peppers and potato – or a freshly baked ensaïmada.

 

Where to stay in Mallorca

In March, our hotels THB Bamboo Alcudia,  THB María Isabel, THB El Cid and THB Felip offer an excellent base for discovering the island. Strategic locations, comfortable spaces and services designed for relaxation make every stay the perfect complement to a late winter escape.

 

Ibiza: the White Island at its most authentic

Far from the bustle of summer, March is one of the best times to discover the true essence of Ibiza. The island reveals its most peaceful, authentic and cultural side, ideal for those looking to switch off and reconnect with themselves.

Ibiza’s old town, Dalt Vila, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, invites you to wander along its Renaissance walls and cobbled streets. From the top, the views over the harbour are especially beautiful at this time of year, with softer light and clear skies.

Along the coast, places such as Cala d’Hort offer the chance to admire the unmistakable silhouette of Es Vedrà, one of the island’s most iconic landmarks. Without the summer crowds, the experience feels far more intimate.

 

 

Nature, villages and gastronomy

March is perfect for exploring rural trails, visiting villages such as Santa Gertrudis or Sant Joan and enjoying local markets in a more relaxed atmosphere. For hiking enthusiasts, Ibiza offers unique routes that lead you into its most authentic landscapes, such as the well-known trail “Hiking on Ibiza: The Gates of Heaven”, which winds through mountains and cliffs and showcases the island’s remarkable beauty.

Gastronomy also takes centre stage: bullit de peix (fish stew), sofrit pagès (a hearty farmer’s stew of various meats and potatoes) and the traditional flaó (Ibizan cheesecake) are dishes deeply rooted in Ibizan tradition and particularly enjoyable during this quieter season.

 

Where to stay in Ibiza

THB Los Molinos, located on the seafront and just a few minutes from the centre, is the ideal place to combine relaxation, culture and strolls along the Mediterranean. Its wellness area, with a heated indoor pool and sauna, is perfect for rounding off days spent exploring.

 

Lanzarote: eternal spring among volcanoes

If what you are looking for in March is sunshine and pleasant temperatures, Lanzarote is a safe choice. With its mild climate all year round, the island offers a genuine sense of spring while colder weather still lingers elsewhere.

It is no coincidence that we consider it one of the best options at this time of year. In fact, in a previous article we explained in detail why Lanzarote is the perfect destination for a winter holiday: pleasant temperatures, fewer visitors and that distinctive light which enhances its volcanic landscapes even further.

The impressive Timanfaya National Park is one of the island’s great highlights. Its almost lunar volcanic landscapes create a unique experience unlike any other destination.

The influence of César Manrique can be seen in places such as Jameos del Agua, where art and landscape blend seamlessly.

 

 

Beaches, wine and charming villages

Beaches such as Papagayo or Playa Blanca allow you to enjoy the sea at a more leisurely pace. For sports enthusiasts, Famara is a renowned spot for surfing.

Another must-see is La Geria, with its vineyards sheltered by volcanic stone. The so-called “Lanzarote Wine Route” offers tastings and striking scenery that combine tradition with a dramatic volcanic setting.

 

Where to stay in Lanzarote

Our hotels THB Flora, THB Lanzarote Beach, THB Royal and THB Tropical Island are the ideal starting point for discovering the island. Spaces designed for families, couples or active escapes, with everything you need to make the most of the climate and the volcanic surroundings.

 

Travelling in March has clear advantages: fewer visitors, pleasant temperatures and a more authentic experience of each destination.

Mallorca invites you to wander among mountains and historic villages. Ibiza offers culture and nature. Lanzarote treats you to sunshine, volcanoes and landscapes that feel almost otherworldly.

Whatever destination you choose, at THB hotels we are here to ensure your March escape is comfortable, bright and filled with moments to remember.
