The Best Places to Visit in May
When it comes to planning a luxury trip, every detail must come together to create a truly unforgettable experience. Whilst we’re experts in crafting bespoke trips around the world, unfortunately, we can’t control the weather or regional events.
Read on to discover the best places to visit in May.
Japan
Early May is perhaps the best time to visit Japan as the iconic cherry blossom begins to fall. Lasting just a few days, this short-term bloom is followed by a slight increase in temperature which makes for a much more pleasant tourist experience. Japan’s cities are architectural wonderlands with buildings and structures from throughout the centuries, and the sunshine of May makes each one of these historied treasures shine.
United Kingdom
The British weather is not an easy thing to predict, but for the best chance of escaping the rain be sure to visit in May. Especially in the south, visitors to the country will find a flourishing bucolic landscape and assortment of charming towns and villages. The start of May is the ideal time to relish in the picturesque landscapes and appreciate quintessential Britain at its finest.
The best trips begin with a conversation, not a booking form.

Vietnam
One of the most awe-inspiring aspects of a trip to Vietnam is the glorious beauty of the country’s highland regions and stepped rice terraces. However, the rainy season of June to September makes these sorts of adventures an unsafe undertaking, and as such, May is the ideal time to combine gorgeous weather with unlimited access to some of Asia’s most unforgettable natural landscapes.
Peru
It’s no secret that the best time to enjoy the iconic Inca Trail is in May. At this time of year, the mountain slopes will be noticeably less busy, and the weather will also lend itself to the demands of the various hiking routes on offer. There’s little rain in May and as such, walking the Inca Trail is also a much safer experience at this point.
