Romantic March Vacation Spots for 2025

By: Greg Mattson, ERV Editor - Updated: Oct 4, 2024   

It's time to start looking at some vacation ideas for March 2025. We've put together some tips on where to go for a great early spring getaway.

Escape Winter in a Relaxing & Warm Resort for Your March Vacation Getaway

March of course is spring break time (in many places, the peak will be in the first half of the month, but can extend right up until March 31, 2025), and a zoo in places like Cancun, Key West and Panama City FL. So in the name of R&R, we've chosen some March vacation destinations that offer a quieter and more relaxed getaway. And because it's high season, booking ahead is essential.

Want to visit the American southwest before it heats up? March is a great time for a getaway in romantic Arizona. This sunny state has to be one of the best places in the U.S. to travel to in the month of March. Arizona weather is comfortably warm in the early spring, with temperatures like:

March is perfect for the enjoying the resorts, golf and destination spas Phoenix and Tucson are famous for. The south rim of the Grand Canyon is also very "visitable" in March, with fewer crowds and traffic. But take along a coat as it can still snow at higher elevations.
