Sunshine and low prices: why Marrakech is the ideal destination before the summer rush

The travel comparator Kayak indicates that round-trip airline tickets to Europe are averaging £140 this month, down from the May to August period. Morocco is particularly benefiting from this: Marrakech stands out as a choice alternative with accessible air links under £200, offering a complete change of scenery before the arrival of the summer crowds.

Southern Europe also remains a safe bet for combining convenience and a controlled budget. Spain largely dominates the sector with flights to Malaga, Valencia, Majorca or Gran Canaria starting at an average of £114. On the other hand, the Cypriot city of Larnaca offers an attractive option, combining temperatures exceeding 20 degrees, journeys at £196 and overnight stays starting at £48.

For travelers demanding guaranteed tropical heat, Southeast Asia presents strong arguments with a mercury consistently exceeding 28 degrees. Ho Chi Minh City, approaching 30 degrees, has the lowest hotel rates in the panel. The Vietnamese metropolis is closely followed by the Thai island of Koh Samui (29 degrees) and by Singapore, the latter combining gastronomic excellence and urban experiences.

This window of opportunity represents the ideal opportunity to anticipate the rise in prices during the high season. A tourism expert for the British platform justifies this enthusiasm: "In Asia, it’s hot enough to spend days at the beach, while in Southern Europe, it’s still cool enough to explore the cities properly."
