What are the most popular destinations in September?

September holidays offer a sweet spot for affordable prices and pleasant temperatures closer to home once the kids have gone back to school. The sea will still be warm, the beaches are quieter without the crowds of summer, and it will be hot enough to lie by the pool. Just not as scorching as July and August. Wondering where to go? These are the destinations that Brits can’t get enough of in September. Compare deals to bag yourself a September holiday bargain.

Costa Del Sol

The Costa del Sol stays warm year-round but September is one of the best months to visit thanks to average maximum temperatures of 27°C and eight hours of sunshine a day. If you’re jetting away with your other half, look up Estepona. After a lively night out? Marbella is great fun.

Majorca

Sunshine, spectacular scenery and soft sand make Majorca a holiday winner. September adds in dreamy maximum daytime temperatures of 26°C and space to spread out without summer crowds. Did we mention September festivals? Binissalem’s Festa des Vermar marks the end of the grape harvest season and includes a grape-throwing battle.

Tenerife

September holidays in the largest Canary Island are all about chilled days on the beach, basking in temperatures of around 25°C followed by evenings sipping chilled drinks in buzzing bars. Love swimming? The sea reaches its warmest temperature of the year in September making long, lazy dips a joy.

Fuerteventura

Want to know a secret? You can enjoy peak summer weather in Fuerteventura in September – temperatures remain at the annual high of 27°C and the water is at its warmest – but without peak prices and crowds. Stroll around the epic golden dunes in Corralejo Dunes Natural Park feeling smug.

Dalaman

Cash in on shoulder season September prices and toasty temperatures in the early 30s by escaping to Turkey’s Turquoise Coast at the end of summer. Holidays in the Dalaman area allow you to dip in the Med, fill your socials with snaps of Olu Deniz’s Blue Lagoon and party until dawn.

Gran Canaria

There’s no bad time to visit Gran Canaria thanks to its reliable sunshine, but savvy travellers go in September for a more chilled experience thanks to cheaper deals and fewer crowds. Unwind on the dunes at Maspalomas or watch its annual Fiesta del Pino honouring the island’s patron saint.

Who should book a September getaway?

No school-aged children? Swoop in on those end-of-summer deals! Here’s who September holidays are perfect for.

Savvy crowd-avoiding sun-seekers

The heat of summer sticks around in September so, if you’re a sunworshipper, you can bask all day without fighting for a lounger. Beaches, resorts, bars and restaurants will be quieter as the peak season crowds have disappeared so savvy sunseekers can enjoy a more laid-back break at a cheaper price than just a few weeks before.

Culture and slow travel lovers

September and city breaks are a dream combo – like strawberries and cream. Balmy temperatures make exploring and al-fresco drinks at the end of the day joyful, while thinner crowds than in July and August mean there’s no fighting for a spot in cultural attractions and restaurants. Enjoy your destination at your own pace.

Frequently asked questions about holidays in September

FAQs

Is September a good time to go on holiday?

Yes, September is a great time to go on holiday if you’re not restricted to travelling in the school break. As UK schools go back at the beginning of the month, holiday prices tend to get cheaper but temperatures remain high enough to swim and sunbathe in Europe.

Are holidays cheaper in September than August?

Yes, as the school holidays in England and Wales end in early September, holidays are generally cheaper than those in August. This is because in July and August, millions of families want to travel at the same time causing prices to peak. Prices tend to go back down in September.

Can you still swim in the sea in September?

Yes, as the sea has been warming up over summer in Europe, you can still swim in the sea in September. In fact, in Tenerife, the sea is at its warmest temperature for the year in September at 24°C. In Greece’s big hitters, Corfu and Crete, the sea temperature is 25°C in September.

Where is still hot in September?

Much of Europe is still hot in September as are further-flung destinations such as Florida and the Maldives. Places that are hot for a European beach break include the Costa Blanca and Santorini, while Lisbon has average temperatures of 23°C – ideal conditions for a city break.

Is September good for couples’ holidays?

Yes, September is ideal for a couples’ holiday as families tend to travel in July and August during the school summer holidays. This means hotels, restaurants and attractions will generally be calmer. The weather is also lovely in Europe and beyond making walks down the beach hand-in-hand a delight.
