5 Paradises for August
From the wild beaches of the Indian Ocean to the postcard-perfect islands of Asia, here are 5 tropical paradises to visit in August for an unforgettable vacation and a dreamy Ferragosto in the Tropics.
- Zanzibar, between turquoise waters and safari. In August, the Tanzanian archipelago offers warm yet breezy days, perfect for enjoying the beaches of Nungwi or Kendwa. In Zanzibar, there are no real safaris on the island, but day trips for safaris on the mainland of Tanzania are offered: alongside the sea, you can embark on a short safari in the parks of Serengeti or Ngorongoro: a combination that is hard to forget. It's worth noting that during this period the weather is dry (20-29°C) and quite pleasant: ideal for those dreaming of Africa, combining beaches and wild nature.
How to get there? On eDreams you can find flight + hotel packages for all needs. The same goes for Expedia, the other historic online travel booking platform. Remember that to try to save on the final price, you can check for Expedia discount codes, or some valid eDreams coupons on the other dedicated page, where you can also find other useful tips for saving, such as the Prime subscription.
- Mauritius, the island of colors. Far from the most trodden paths, Mauritius offers pristine white beaches, tropical gardens, vibrant markets, and rich culture. In August, the climate is mild (between 24-28°C), ideal for exploring both the coast and the interior, perhaps trekking to waterfalls. A perfect destination for those seeking nature, culture, and relaxation in a truly unforgettable exotic spot.
How to get there? We inform you that ITA Airways also includes Mauritius among the exotic destinations on offer. Regarding accommodation, we recommend browsing through the hundreds of available properties on Booking, where you won't have trouble finding the ideal option.
- Seychelles, the most elegant tropical dream. Among the most beloved destinations for those seeking relaxation and timeless beauty. Beaches like Anse Lazio look like they came out of a painting, and in August you will find perfect conditions for snorkeling or simply lounging under a palm tree. The weather in August is pleasant and dry, averaging between 24-28°C. A perfect option for those wanting to detach from everything, without sacrificing elegance.
How to get there? There are also flight + hotel packages for the Seychelles from eDreams and Expedia: a combination that often offers quality, value for money, and reduces unforeseen events and time loss.
- Maldives, the off-season paradise. If you think that August is a rainy season with terrible monsoons everywhere, think again: many islands in the Maldives enjoy clear days even in the middle of summer. If you book in advance, you can find great deals on dream resorts, overwater bungalows, and coral reefs just waiting to be explored. The weather is fantastic here too and everything is ideal for a romantic vacation with dives into the clearest blue.
How to get there? ITA Airways also offers departures from New York at a discount. As for accommodation, there are hundreds of options for all budgets on Booking, where you won't have trouble finding the ideal solution. But if you're looking for a complete package, with insurance and everything else, eDreams and Expedia also offer various options here.
- Bali, the Indonesia that always enchants. Spiritual, scenic, and vibrant. Bali is in the midst of its dry season and welcomes you with temples among the rice fields, surfing at Uluwatu, and fiery sunsets. A versatile destination, perfect for solo travelers, couples, and anyone wanting to discover something new. The weather is dry and sunny, between 24 and 31°C, making it the ideal spot for those who love to mix beach, culture, and adventure.
How to get there? All the previously mentioned options are valid: in Bali, there's a true embarrassment of choice regarding accommodation, with options for all preferences and budgets.
