In Paris, the arrival of November and cooler temperatures is gradually emptying the outdoor patios. As the days grow shorter and coats make their return, a certain nostalgia for summer is also setting in. Yet, just a few hours by plane away, you can still have lunch outdoors, stroll along the shore, and—for those who aren’t too cold-sensitive—even consider one last swim. Here are 5 getaways to consider if you want to enjoy the sun a little longer.
Tenerife, 25°C, 4 hours from Paris
In southern Tenerife, right in the heart of the Canary Islands, temperatures still reach 25°C in November. With its beaches and rugged terrain, the island offers some truly exceptional views. For example, the stunning Teide National Park and its volcanic landscapes are a must-see!
Paros, the pearl of the Cyclades, was named the best island by Travel + Leisure readers in 2025. In this roundup of islands where you can extend summer into November, Paros also stands out for its international recognition. Paros, the pearl of the Cyclades, was named the best island in Travel + Leisure’s 2025 World’s Best Awards, praised for its landscapes, cuisine, and diverse range of experiences. The island features traditional villages such as Naoussa, Parikia, and Lefkes, as well as iconic coves at Kolymbithres, and remains easily accessible from Athens or via Mykonos and Santorini.
Cyprus, for a swim just before winter
For those who aren’t quite ready to pack away their swimsuits yet, head east across the Mediterranean Sea to Cyprus. At this time of year, the island enjoys mild temperatures, both in the air and in the water. On the west coast, Paphos combines beaches, a harbor, and archaeological ruins. The days are mild enough to explore ancient sites or enjoy lunch on a terrace. In short, it’s the perfect getaway to escape the cold!
Menorca, the calm after summer
While August means crowds in Menorca, the island is particularly popular in the months that follow for its tranquility. And at this time of year, the temperatures are still quite mild! And even if it’s getting a little too chilly for swimming (except for the brave), beautiful trails like the Camí de Cavalls are there to help us discover all the island’s beauty.
Marrakech: Afternoons at 22°C at the foot of the Atlas Mountains
Just a few hours from Paris, Marrakech is currently around 22°C. It’s an excellent time to explore the Majorelle Garden, stroll through the souks, or enjoy a cup of tea on a terrace overlooking Jemaa el-Fna Square. The Atlas Mountains, visible in the distance on clear days, also offer wonderful opportunities for excursions, even if the temperatures there are significantly cooler.
