Sorrento & Amalfi Coast
Visiting Sorrento and Amalfi during September is widely known as the best time owing to it’s warm but not overly humid climate and quieter crowds after the peak of August. The Amalfi coast brings in a cool breeze which makes the warmer afternoons much more enjoyable. The beauty of the Italian landscapes and architecture can be enjoyed in a more intimate and illuminating light at this time of year. You could take a boat tour of Capri or the Amalfi Coast. On the 12 September visit the town of Meta which hosts the Feast Day of Santa Maria. With a fair held on the beach with jewellery stands, food and fireworks after sunset it’s a hidden gem!

Mauritius
With an enviable subtropical climate that normally brings sun and blue skies, Mauritius offers pretty much perfect beach weather all year round. But temperatures are more manageable in September and it’s a drier month. Miles of powder-soft, dazzling, white sand beaches encircle this Indian Ocean island paradise, while crystalline, sapphire waters roll onto its palm-fringed coastline. Beyond coral seascapes framed by dolphins and turtles and dramatic dive sites, there are huge swathes of rainforest, mountains, waterfalls and inky lagoons.
