September is such an appealing month for a holiday, particularly in parts of Europe where the temperatures are firmly in summery figures and the sea is still invitingly warm. Many countries are dropping Covid restrictions that stuck in place for more than two years, opening yet more horizons for holidaymakers. Wherever you plan to go in September, be sure to take a look at some of these holiday ideas.

The stylish Jetwing Beach Hotel is in a superb spot facing Negombo Beach on the south-western coast about 40km north of the capital, Colombo. Keep cool in the palm-shaded gardens when you’re not relaxing on golden sands or lazing in the two outdoor pools and spa. Tropical Sky offers seven nights’ B&B accommodation at the Jetwing Beach Hotel from £899pp, including flights.

There’s 10 per cent off the tour departing 11 September, down from £775pp to £698pp, which includes B&B accommodation, tours and transfers, but not flights.
