The leaping-off point for the Riviera Maya, Cancun is the gateway to gorgeous beaches, outstanding natural beauty and ancient ruined cities. Head south towards Tulum, a chilled little beach town close to the most extraordinary Mayan ruins. Cancun’s dry season runs from November to April, with February to April having the lowest rainfall. By March, the sea is warming up so it’s a great month for swimming.

For a great Mexican taco experience, head to friendly El Fogon in Playa del Carmen (there are two branches there, both of which are great).

An hour south of Cancun, between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, Hotel Esencia is set within lush Mayan jungle on its own secluded stretch of beach. Once the private hideaway of an Italian duchess, Hotel Esencia still feels like a beautiful tropical home.

Sitting on the southwest coast of Cyprus, Paphos is an unusual old town. Stalls selling inflatable bananas jostle for space with some of the most extraordinary archaeological ruins, which were once one of the most celebrated places of pilgrimage in the Ancient Greek world. March signals the beginning of spring here, as the weather becomes warmer and less rainy.

Head to 7 St. Georges Tavern in Geroskipou for a unique restaurant experience. There’s no menu here, so just take a seat and wait for whatever seasonal fare is served to you. Don’t forget to seek out Mesogiaki Gonia Wine & Deli in the Kings Avenue Mall for artisan treats to take home.

Almyra is a stylishly understated year-round hotel at one end of the harbour. From here you can stroll over to Paphos Archaeological Park in just 15 minutes.

With the many beaches that surround it, Tampa on Florida’s west coast never gets particularly cold so is ideal for a spot of winter sun. Hire a bike and head to Tampa’s Riverwalk, a 2.5-mile path where you’ll find Tampa Museum of Art, the Glazer Children’s Museum and Florida Aquarium. The city has several interesting neighbourhoods, including Tampa Heights, where an old streetcar warehouse has been reinvented as a community hub with food stalls and restaurants. Another is bohemian Seminole Heights, home to historic bungalows, vintage shops and artists’ studios.
