Summer is peak holiday season in India, aligning perfectly with school vacations. Whether you want to escape the heat in the cool mountains of Europe or chase the sun on a tropical beach, there’s a perfect summer destination for you. Here are the best places to travel during the Indian summer, for families and couples alike.
Switzerland & Europe — escape the heat
Summer is the best time to visit Europe, with pleasant weather and long daylight hours. Switzerland’s alpine scenery, lakes and mountain trains are especially magical, making it a top family and honeymoon choice for the season.
Bali & Thailand — green-season value
Summer is the green season in Southeast Asia, which means lush scenery and excellent deals. Bali and Thailand offer beaches, villas and culture at lower prices, with only the occasional passing shower.
Maldives — sunny escapes
The Maldives stays beautiful in summer, with sunshine, great deals and manta-ray season for snorkelers and divers. It’s perfect for a relaxed beach holiday or honeymoon away from the Indian heat.
Singapore & family favourites
Singapore is a year-round, family-friendly destination ideal for the school holidays, with theme parks and indoor attractions that beat the heat. Dubai’s indoor parks and malls are another great summer option for families.
Book early for the school holidays
