Weather

The period between March and May beats an English summer hands down. It is sunnier, hotter and drier. The average high temperature rises to 21°C in April with the average low temperature around 14°C in April. Beach days resume early April, so be sure to bring your swimwear! Weather in September is around 30°C but with a beautiful sea breeze, the temperature is perfect for sunbathing, swimming and of course outdoor pilates!
