Vacationing in May will avoid the biggest crowds in tourist resorts, but not yet everywhere at this time of year are good conditions for vacationing. Where, then, is it worth going on vacation in May? Check out our suggestions for the most interesting places to vacation in May.

Spanish Balearic Islands

In the Balearic Islands, good weather persists almost all year round, which is why it is such a popular destination. May is the perfect time to visit Ibiza, Majorca, Minorca or Formentera. The sun shines for almost 10 hours a day and thermometers show an average of 20 degrees Celsius – it is at this time of year that it is worth visiting the islands, as the aura is very pleasant, but the greatest heat is avoided. The crowds of tourists are not there yet, but you can already feel the vacation climate. Prices in Ibiza and the other islands are often lower than in high season. Hotels in Mallorca provide a very high standard.

Spain’s southern coast

If not the Balearic Islands, how about the famous Spanish coast?There’s no shortage of nice beaches on the mainland, and in May it’s already warm on both the Costa del Sol and the more northerly Costa Brava. For a May vacation, choose one of the larger cities, such as Barcelona, Malaga or Valencia – they are full of monuments, bustling with life until late at night, where you can taste traditional Spanish cuisine and shop at the local market. Prices in Barcelona will be a bit higher than in small resorts, but there are more things to see here.

Canary Islands

In May, the average temperature in the Canary Islands is 22 degrees Celsius.The sun shines for more than 8 hours a day, and the sea water is already slowly becoming suitable for swimming.In many places, prices are even lower than in high season, and there is no shortage of attractions – there are excellent conditions for exploring the islands and trekking, it’s warm enough to laze on the beach, and you can also take part in one of the events that take place at this time on the various islands of the archipelago.A cruise from Gran Canaria to Tenerife, Lanzarote or Madeira will also be an unforgettable experience. There is no tourist tax in Gran Canaria.

Algarve in Portugal

This southern region of Portugal is primarily associated with picturesque beaches. May temperatures hover around 25 degrees, rains are rare. It’s still too cool to swim in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, but you can go trekking in the countryside, go kayaking and visit charming towns such as Albufeira and Faro. The Algarve will appeal to those who appreciate the tranquility and surroundings of the weather, but there is also something for nightlife lovers.

Sicily

Sicily is one of the southernmost corners of Europe. May is very sunny, warm and rain-free, and since the holiday season has not yet begun in earnest, you can count on good price bargains. The tourist tax in Italy depends on the standard of the hotel and the locality. In Sicily there are quite a few preserved monuments from ancient times, there is Etna, which you can climb, and in the town of Noto there is a famous flower festival at this time.

Sicily

Crete

This is one of the largest and most popular Greek islands.It lies in the Mediterranean Sea and already from early spring spoils tourists with very good weather – the temperature in May is above 20 degrees.What can you do in Crete?First of all, explore the magnificence of the island and relax on one of the Cretan islands. If one vacation spot is not enough, an interesting option would be a cruise to another Greek island, such as Zakynthos, Santorini or Rhodes.

Malta

Malta is famous for its magnificent sights, and May is a good month to see them.It is warm, but not hot, and you can relax on the beaches in pleasant conditions.Rain practically doesn’t happen anymore. In addition to the sights, Malta is attracted to the magnificent sea caves and rock formations, and cruises around Malta’s islets are also a popular pastime.

Turkish Riviera

The Turkish Riviera, also known as the Turquoise Coast, is a long strip of wide beaches surrounded by the Taurus Mountains. The water here is very clean and warm, and by coming to the Turquoise Coast in May you can avoid the crowds of tourists and the summer heat, on top of that the prices of all-inclusive vacations are lower, although the Turkish climate fee still applies. The main resort is Antalya, quite a few people also choose Side. Southern Turkey tempts not only with picturesque beaches, but also a lot of monuments and wonderful nature.

Las Vegas

Las Vegas is literally located in the desert, which makes the summer heat unbearable – in July and August the bars of the mercury can exceed 40 degrees.In May it is not so hot yet, which encourages you to visit the city and its surroundings, and there really is something to see here – casinos impress with their striking architecture and offer a mass of attractions, not only those related to gambling.On top of that, you can take a trip to nearby Death Valley or the Grand Canyon.

Florida

Another of our suggestions is Florida, USA. May is the ideal time to come here. The water in the sea is already over 25 degrees, it is sunny, the air is cooled by a light breeze from the sea, and the hurricane season has not yet begun.Not counting the beaches, Florida also offers plenty of entertainment and cultural events.

Rio de Janeiro

May is still winter, but that doesn’t seem to bother you in Brazil. Sightseeing in Rio de Janeiro at this time of year is much more pleasant than during the summer heat, and despite the lower temperatures you can still have a nice time on the beach. From Rio, a trip to Pantanal National Park is worthwhile.

Bermuda

Recreation in Bermuda will satisfy even the pickiest tourists. It has been a very popular tourist destination for years, and May Day is a good opportunity to treat yourself to an unforgettable vacation. Before the peak season, the resorts are not yet crowded, but the weather is good enough to enjoy beachcombing and exploring the island’s attractions.

Dubai

Dubai has been banking heavily on tourism for several years now.It’s unbearably hot here in summer, but in May you can still enjoy the sun without the debilitating heat.The city provides a variety of attractions, besides which you can take a camel ride in the desert. There are also, of course, beaches and a large water park. Before booking, it’s worth checking when Ramadan is, as some of the entertainment may not be available during this time.The second important issue is what to pack in your luggage, as the UAE has different rules than in Europe or North America, so it’s better to make sure you can take medicines on the plane.

Sri Lanka

The eastern coast of Sri Lanka is not as popular as the south of the country, which is a pity, because there are plenty of long, sandy beaches and amazing scenery. You don’t have to worry about monsoons in May, and the water is clean and safe, including for children. Sri Lanka’s wildlife is best enjoyed in one of the national parks, such as Lahugala or Yala.

Dominican Republic

The main season in the Dominican Republic is between December and April. In summer, the rainy season and hurricane season begin here, so it’s a good idea to go to the Dominican Republic in May, when the weather is still good, but there are fewer tourists and hotel rates begin to drop. The beaches of the Dominican Republic are exceptionally beautiful, in addition to rafting, trekking, kayaking and visiting Santo Domingo.

South Korea

May is the optimum time to visit Korea, because you avoid the typical summer chill and torrential rains.

Japan

The May climate in Japan is very summery, and it is much more pleasant then than in the summer, with hot weather and torrential rains.

Corsica

It’s warmer in Corsica in May than in mainland France, and since the island lives largely on tourism, it’s better to avoid it in summer – you’ll get more of a feel for its traditional climate in spring. There are still a lot of places with wildlife in Corsica, plus there are great beaches and excellent cuisine.

Barbados

May is a transitional month between the main vacation season and hurricane season. It’s very warm, with an average temperature of 31 degrees, but there aren’t many tourists, so there are good chances for bargain last-minute trips. Comfortable hotels with access to a sandy beach can be found all along the Barbados coast. The trip to Barbados is quite long, so a flight with a child is best booked at night.

Bali

The weather in Bali is just right for beachcombing – temperatures reach 30 degrees, humidity is lower than in winter, and you don’t have to worry about so much rain. There are good conditions for surfing, besides, you can visit rice terraces, volcanoes, Hindu temples.

Zanzibar

Among tourists, Zanzibar has an exceptionally good reputation, because it is a paradise for lovers of beautiful beaches, exotic nature and African cuisine. Where is Zanzibar that so many people are drawn to? It’s an archipelago belonging to Tanzania, in the Indian Ocean.
