Canary Islands: the best choice for sun and sea in November

If you want to genuinely enjoy sun and swim in the sea in November, the Canary Islands are the first thing to consider. Fuerteventura and Lanzarote average 23 to 25 degrees during the day, with around 7 hours of sunshine daily.

The sea stays around 22 to 23 degrees in November, enough for a dip. Both islands are also great if you want to surf or kitesurf: the Atlantic wind is a bonus on Fuerteventura's beaches.

Tenerife offers a slightly greener landscape. The north is cloudier; for the most sun choose the south of the island, with places like Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos. Average daytime temperature 22 to 24 degrees, sea around 22 degrees.

The big advantage of the Canary Islands: flights run all year round, including after the end of October. From Eindhoven and Amsterdam there are weekly direct flights with Transavia, TUI and Corendon, with return fares noticeably lower in November than in the summer holidays.

Marrakech: warm and affordable, without the sea

If you don't need the sea but want sun and warmth, Marrakech is one of the best November options. During the day it averages 20 to 22 degrees in November, cooler in the evenings but pleasant.

Ryanair flies direct from Eindhoven in about 3 hours 40 minutes, with return fares that regularly fall below 100 euros in November. Spend three to four days in the medina, explore the souks, eat tagine on the Djemaa el-Fna and take a day trip to the Atlas foothills.

Marrakech is also culturally ideal in November: the summer heat is gone, the high-season crowds too. Outside the autumn school holiday week, the streets are quiet and riad prices are considerably lower than in spring or summer. For booking tips, see our guide on when to book flights for the best price.

Malta: a cultural city break with late autumn sun

November is one of the best months for Malta. It is low season, so flights and hotels are noticeably cheaper than in summer: return flights from Eindhoven start around 100 euros, and a good hotel room costs 40 to 70 euros per night.

During the day it averages 18 to 20 degrees, enough for a light jacket but certainly not winter weather. The sea temperature in November is still around 20 to 21 degrees.

Malta has little competition in this price segment if you want to combine: a compact island holiday with real culture (Valletta, medieval Mdina, the Blue Lagoon on Comino), English-speaking, no visa required. In November there are also few tourists, so the pressure on attractions is low. Ryanair flies direct from Eindhoven in approximately 2 hours 55 minutes.

Malaga and Alicante: short flight, mild autumn

For those who want the shortest possible flight, Malaga and Alicante are the most affordable options. From Eindhoven you fly to Alicante in about 2 hours 30 minutes, to Malaga in about 3 hours.

Both cities average 17 to 20 degrees during the day in November, with enough sun for a terrace, walks along the promenade and city exploration. The sea is at 18 to 19 degrees: cool but swimmable for those who want to.

The big advantage of these destinations in November is the price. Return flights with Ryanair or Transavia from Eindhoven start regularly at 50 to 80 euros in November.

Hotels and apartments on the Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca drop significantly in price: an apartment for two costs 35 to 60 euros per night. Combine with a visit to Cordoba or Seville for an extra cultural day out. All in all, one of the best value-for-money options on this list.

What does a November sun holiday cost?

November is the strongest low season for most Mediterranean destinations. Outside the two weeks of autumn school holidays (which vary by year and region), both flights and hotels average 20 to 40 percent cheaper than in the summer holidays.

As a guide price: Alicante or Malaga for around 250 to 350 euros per person for seven nights including flight and simple accommodation. Malta is at a similar level, around 280 to 380 euros.

Marrakech can be done in three to four days for around 280 euros per person including flight and a riad. The Canary Islands cost more due to the longer flight and higher quality level: budget 350 to 500 euros for seven nights all-in.

Want the cheapest deal? Book mid-week (departing Tuesday or Wednesday), avoid the autumn school holiday week, and plan three to five weeks ahead. For tips, read when to book flights for the best price.

Frequently asked questions about a sun holiday in November

Where is it 20 degrees in November from the Netherlands?

The Canary Islands are the most reliable choice for 20 degrees or more in November: on Tenerife the average daytime temperature is 22 to 24 degrees, on Fuerteventura and Lanzarote around 23 to 25 degrees. With a direct flight from Eindhoven (about 4 hours 45) or Amsterdam you are right in the autumn sun. Marrakech also reaches 20 degrees during the day, but has no sea. Malta and Alicante are at 18 to 20 degrees.

What does a week in the sun cost in November?

November is low season for most sun destinations, so prices are attractive. Budget a guide price from around 250 to 400 euros per person for seven nights including flight and a simple hotel, depending on destination and departure day. Tenerife and the Canary Islands are more expensive than Malta and Alicante. Outside the autumn holiday period, the same trips are often 30 to 60 euros per person cheaper.

Can you still swim in the Mediterranean in November?

In Malta the sea temperature in November averages around 20 to 21 degrees, which is fine for hardy swimmers. In Alicante and Malaga the water is at 18 to 19 degrees: chilly but not impossible. The Canary Islands do better with around 22 to 23 degrees sea temperature in November. The Greek islands have largely stopped direct flights from the Netherlands by November.

Are the Canary Islands a good choice in November?

Yes, these are the best November destinations for sun and sea from the Netherlands. Tenerife, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote lie just above the Tropic of Cancer and have no real low season: 22 to 25 degrees during the day, sea of 22 to 23 degrees, 6 to 7 hours of sunshine. Flights run all year round and are cheaper in November than in the summer.
