Holiday destinations - October half term

6 replies

eurochick · 08/06/2025 18:05

Does anyone have any great ideas for an October half term holiday for two adults and a tween? We are only going for a week so long haul is ok but not ultra long haul (Australia, etc).

We don’t want to go to Trump’s America. I’m not keen on the Middle East - I’ve been a few times and always felt like a second class citizen as a woman, which is not what I want on holiday. A lot of the Caribbean seems to be out as it is the tail end of hurricane season. We have been to the Maldives in October before but prices seem to have gone crazy this year. Is there anywhere that I am missing? We are open to different types of holidays but want some sunshine.

Sicily, Crete or Rhodes?

We’ve had a couple of great trips to Turkey at that time of year

Zanzibar? Mauritius?

Tenerife has some lovely upmarket hotels in the Costa Adeje area and weather is usually very good in October.

Thanks all! Europe or Turkey look a bit cool.

I quite like the idea of Mauritius. I have been on business but not for leisure. Or Zanzibar, but I’ve read mixed things about that. Any recommendations for either?

Morocco? Marrakech will still be warm.
