Summer Sun

However, the island’s stunning beaches are Zanzibar’s main attraction. The bath-warm Indian Ocean brushes powdery white sands while bright coral reefs teem with marine life. Snorkel with colourful fish, seahorses, and turtles, go on dolphin-watching trips, or relax on the beach with a good book and an ice-cold beer.

Zanzibar, offshore from mainland Tanzania, boasts a year-round tropical climate, but June to September is the best time to visit. You’ll enjoy sunny days with average temperatures of 29°C. The summer is also a fantastic time to go on safari in Tanzania – so why not add a few days in the Serengeti?

Next up, Bali. If you’re looking for a blissfully minimal to-do list, a Bali holiday is your best bet. After sunbathing to your heart’s content on one of the many picture-perfect beaches or snorkelling amongst the vivid corals and majestic marine life, head to one of Bali’s chilled-out bars for a refreshing cocktail, beer, or bite to eat. 

This exotic island is perfect for escaping everyday demands and indulging in well-deserved relaxation. No matter what your ideal beach day looks like, Bali has a spot for you. Tranquil Sanur and Nusa Dua are the perfect base for uninterrupted downtime, whereas lively Kuta is home to many popular beach bars.

If you’re looking for the best of both worlds, look no further than Seminyak, with its soft sands, watersports, and ocean-front bars. And let’s not forget the hipster central, Canggu Beach – a must-visit during any Bali break. Looking for a hidden gem? Head to Jimbaran’s relaxed cultural surroundings; this coastal resort boasts plenty to do with beaches, shopping, and seafood restaurants.

With Bali’s dry season running from April to October, summer is a perfect time to visit. Only a short hop from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, why not add a couple of nights to your Asia adventure?

Whether you want to relax or explore, it’s time to get those summer sandals out and start planning. 

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is a vibrant coastal city known for its exciting attractions and lively entertainment options.

Myrtle Beach is a stunning stretch perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and watersports. Beyond the coastline, there is plenty more to see and do. The city has numerous amusement parks, including the iconic Myrtle Beach SkyWheel, which offers panoramic views 200 feet above the beach. Why not head to Myrtle Waves Water Park and enjoy thrilling slides and rides? Alternatively, there’s Ripley’s Aquarium or the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk for shopping, dining, and entertainment.

If you prefer a slightly lower temperature, there are many cooler but equally incredible destinations to visit this summer. Alaska gets very cold in the winter, so May to September is the best time to visit. Alternatively, head to Cape Town in South Africa for a holiday with a thousand possibilities at a time when the days are pleasantly warm. Although you may need a jacket in the south coast destinations of Melbourne and Adelaide, every corner of Australia is ripe for exploring. Finally, there’s New Zealand. Here, particularly on the magnificent South Island, the dramatic landscapes appear even more spectacular when the air is crisp.

This summer, all temperatures are sizzling. Begin planning your summer 2024 holidays today.
