If you can’t stand the cold, November might be your favourite month to travel. It’s one of my favourites as well. The weather is mild and pleasant throughout much of this time of the year, making it an ideal time to travel—and for some fantastic deals on accommodations. If you want to visit a few places in Europe before winter hits but want a more temperate climate than northern Europe had at that time, head to the Mediterranean. Or, if you’re looking for tropical beaches and lush wilderness, then Hawaii and Southeast Asia are excellent options in November. Here are some of my top picks for where to travel in November:
Cyprus
Cyprus is an excellent option for those looking to escape the cold. In November, the weather should be sunny and warm temperatures. You can also expect mild breezes, so bring a light jacket in case it gets chilly at night.
Cyprus is an island nation in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, off Turkey’s coast. It’s known for its gorgeous beaches, fantastic resorts on the mainland, and beautiful coves and beaches along its coastline. If you’re looking to relax on your trip through Europe or want some time away from country life, this might be right up your alley!
Getting there will require a short flight from London (LGW) or Amsterdam (AMS) to Larnaca International Airport; it takes about five hours if you’re coming from either city. Once you arrive at Larnaca International Airport, find transportation into town or directly to one of Cyprus’ many resorts if they have shuttles available that day–it could be cheaper—than taking an Uber!

Cape Town
Cape Town is a beautiful city that’s also one of the most popular tourist destinations in South Africa. With its stunning scenery and vibrant culture, it’s no wonder this city has been on every traveller’s wish list since 1992.
It’s no surprise that Cape Town is a great place to visit in November. The winter months are much milder than the summer months, so you’ll have an enjoyable time exploring all things Cape Town has to offer without getting too hot or cold!
With so many things to do in Cape Town during wintertime, it can be hard to narrow it down—but trust us: there are plenty of things that will take your breath away (in a good way).
Oman
If you’re looking for a safe and family-friendly destination with great weather, Oman is a good choice. With a mountain range in the north and desert plains to the south, Oman is ideal in the Arabian Gulf. It’s also known as one of the safest places in the Middle East to visit.
Oman has been home to human settlements since 6500 BC (over 6 thousand years ago). The early inhabitants were nomadic people who hunted game like goats, sheep, and gazelles. By 3000 BC, they had started farming wheat and barley. At the same time, they continued hunting wild animals for meat and other food resources such as milk from cows grazing out in pasturelands in what is now known as the Al Batinah region near the present-day Sur area next to Muscat metropolitan city, where many ancient ruins still exist today; these include an “oldest” type of mud-brick building called barasti houses which were built around 300BC, but some might be older than that period according to some historians’ claims.
Honolulu
Consider Honolulu, Hawaii. This tropical paradise is the perfect place to spend your November vacation. The weather is warm and sunny all year round, so you won’t have to worry about wearing a coat or bringing along your favourite sweater. It’s also great because there are many beaches where you can relax and enjoy the ocean breeze while enjoying beautiful panoramic views of palm trees swaying in the draft.
Bali
Bali is a fantastic destination to visit in November. It’s the height of summer in Australia and the rest of southeast Asia, but Bali is at its most relaxed this time of year. That makes it ideal for travellers who want to escape the heat without going too far from home (like me).
Bali should be your first choice if you’re looking for a beach vacation punctuated by warm breezes and sunny days. You’ll find beautiful beaches along with most parts of the island, making it easy to spend your days relaxing on white sands under blue skies above turquoise waters. If you’re looking for adventure instead, plenty of water activities are available as well: surf lessons and kayaking tours are just two examples, among many others!
Australia’s Gold Coast
The Gold Coast is one of Australia’s most popular holiday destinations for a good reason. You’ll find plenty to do and see, including:
- Surfing at Coolangatta Beach or Burleigh Heads/Mermaid Beach
- Parasailing over the ocean or across the city skyline
- Skydiving over the beach or into Dreamworld theme park (the largest in Australia)
- Snorkelling and scuba diving off the coast of Surfers Paradise, where you can explore shipwrecks like The Pacific Pearl (which was sunk by a German torpedo during World War II) * Sailing and fishing on Moreton Bay * Hiking up Mount Tamborine or along other nearby trails like Binna Burra Rainforest Walk * Cycling around Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, where you can spot kangaroos and koalas among other native wildlife * Diving with sharks at Green Island
Florida, USA
If you’re looking to get away from the cold weather of North America, Florida should be your first choice. Located on the Florida peninsula directly south of Georgia and Alabama, southern Florida has a subtropical climate that makes it one of the warmest places in November. The average temperature in Miami this month is about 72°F (22°C), making it as friendly as a typical February day in San Francisco.
Other cities in Florida that experience temperatures similar include Fort Lauderdale and Orlando. All three towns have relatively mild winters with average daily highs around 70°F (21°C). However, in late fall and early winter, there can be some chilly days when temperatures dip below 50°F (10°C) overnight, making this region less desirable for travellers looking for more tropical weather all year round.
Go to the Mediterranean or Hawaii in November.
If you want to go to a warm place, consider the Mediterranean or Hawaii. Both are popular in November, so you’ll have many other people to interact with. Cyprus and Cape Town are good choices if you’re looking for something different; they’re lovely places that don’t get many tourists due to their lack of tourist infrastructure (i.e., hotels). Oman is also a good choice—it’s got beaches, mountains, deserts, and cities all within a day or two’s drive from each other! Honolulu is an option if you want something more urban than South Africa or Oman. However, it still has plenty of warm weather options without being too crowded with tourists who might annoy your serenity.
Last Words
Stay warm this November, and we’ll see you in the sunshine!
