California & Mexico Multi & Twin Centre Holidays

Visiting California between June and September will pretty much guarantee warm, dry days for your stay. If the main aim for your California twin-centre holiday is to explore at your own pace, then you might want to consider visiting towards the start or end of this stretch - both June and September are quieter months in terms of tourism, and the weather is mild enough to feel comfortable while walking around.

In Mexico, the rainy season (May-September) is actually one of the best times for your visit. Showers consist of short, sharp bursts, and they often only happen later in the day. These quickfire downpours will provide some light relief in the evening when temperatures have soared all day.
 

Jet lag won’t be an issue on our California and Mexico multi centre holidays, as there’s only a 1 hour difference between the two destinations. Mexico runs on CDMX time, and it is 1 hour ahead of California, which abides by PDT. This means that our California and Mexico twin centre holidays won’t be held up by any post-travel grogginess - though your initial journey from the UK may prove otherwise! 
 

The quote that we provide for our California and Mexico multi-centre holidays is guaranteed for 36 months, and we’re able to offer a range of flexible payment plans, meaning you can pay off the entire sum in monthly instalments. 

London Heathrow, London Gatwick, and Manchester are the best choices if you’re looking for direct-only options for your flight from the UK to California. Other selected UK airports can offer routes with connecting flights, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, and Liverpool. 

When it comes to planning your onward travel from California to Mexico, our team of experienced travel agents can provide you with further guidance. There are a handful of major airports across California that fly direct to Mexico, though, including Los Angeles (LAX ), San Francisco (SFO) and San Jose (SJO) - depending on where you’re coming from.

There are several major airports to choose from for your arrival into Mexico too, depending on your California and Mexico multi-centre holiday itinerary, including Mexico City (MEX), Cancun (CUN), Puerto Vallarta (PVR), Oaxaca (OAX), Monterrey (MTY), and Morelia (MLM).

August is the best time to visit California if you want to take advantage of the scorching summer forecast. Even the hottest days will feel slightly cooler when you’re working your way down the coastline - temperatures hover upwards of 21°C, but they can reach highs of 30°C or even higher during a heatwave. Head inland and you’ll really begin to feel the difference, with temperatures ranging from 29°C-35°C during the peak summer months. 

Catching the balmiest days in Mexico largely depends on where you choose to stay. Plan a visit between April-May and you’ll experience temperatures between 29°C-32°C and 23°C- 25°C from June-October.

There’s a cityscape to suit every kind of holidaymaker in California, with destinations in the state offering up their own unique experiences. Shopaholics will be smitten with the likes of Los Angeles, where some of the biggest designer names line the boulevards. There’s nowhere quite like the steep streets of San Francisco for simply watching the world go by - there’s something to scope out on every corner. Santa Barbara has some of the most distinctive architecture in California, conveying clear Spanish influences. While Palm Springs places you in the Sonoran Desert, and the landscape is carved out by rugged mountain backdrops that make for otherworldly sunsets.

Got little ones in tow on your Mexico twin-centre holiday? There’s a selection of go-to spots for families, so keeping even the most curious kids busy won’t be a struggle. We’ve handpicked a few key locations that showcase the best of Mexico family holidays, giving you some inspiration to start planning your dream break.

The picturesque town of Loreto is located in Baja California Sur, nestled along the crystalline shores of the Gulf of California, and it’s one of the most family-friendly destinations that Mexico has to offer. There’s something to keep everyone busy - from watersports and whale watching, to adrenaline-filled desert excursions. There’s no end to the amount of activities that you can pack into your stay here.

While Cancun might have a long-standing reputation for its vibrant nightlife, it’s also the ideal place for an extra-special family getaway. There’s a selection of superb accommodation choices that cater to families with toddlers through to teenagers, from providing kids club programs, to boasting several sparkling pools. Enjoy beach days together on the white sandy shores of Playa Caracol and Playa Langosta, where there’s no shortage of nearby restaurants with kid-friendly menu options. 

West of Cancun on the coastal fringe of the country you’ll find Puerto Vallarta, a true haven for those travelling with kids of all ages. This charming resort city is a hotspot for holidaymakers, offering a mixture of picture-perfect sandy stretches, bustling restaurants and bars, plus an array of entertainment options. Kids will be fascinated by the atmosphere on the Malecon, a promenade where street artists and musicians put on a vibrant nightly display. 

If your family getaway is all about simply switching off and enjoying quality time together, then include Riviera Maya in your itinerary. This serene slice of Caribbean paradise is located on the Yucatán Peninsula, and there’s plenty of family-friendly accommodation choices dotted along this 100-mile stretch of unspoiled coastline. The resort has four luscious Eco Parks weaving  through the Mayan jungle, each of which offer family-friendly excursion trips.

Yep! There’s a string of major theme parks in California, so you can unleash your inner child and enjoy some well-deserved family fun at some of the state's most famous attractions. Explore the magic of Disneyland Park in Anaheim, discover life in miniature at LEGOLAND California, or put your hunger for adrenaline to its paces with some of the thrilling rides found at Universal Studios Hollywood.

When it comes to packing for our California and Mexico multi-centre holidays, ensuring you’ve got plenty of light layers is essential. During the warmer months, both destinations can become hot and humid - especially if your visit coincides with a heatwave. Make sure your daytime and evening wardrobe consists of lightweight clothing, and for your stay in Mexico, you might want to keep a pocho handy - downpours are most common at dusk! Don’t forget to pack swimming costumes and shorts too, as there’ll be plenty of opportunities for beach days on both the Californian and Mexican Coast.
