If your feed is full of the same five beaches, you're late. This summer, the search spikes aren't for Bali or Phuket — they're for places that feel new but are easy to reach. St Maarten is sitting at number one for international summer searches right now, followed closely by Mexico City, Palma de Mallorca in Spain, and Tel Aviv. In the US, it's Sarasota, Asheville, Dallas-Fort Worth and Fort Myers leading the pack. Why the shift? Three things Camberin is seeing in booking data: 1. People want direct flights, not 2-stop marathons. Palma, St Maarten and Mexico City all have new routes from major hubs. 2.Price sensitivity is real. Agadir, Morocco is currently the cheapest seven-night package for summer 2026, averaging around £230 per person. 3. Summer travelers want "cool" heat, not scorching. That's why Greece, Croatia, Hawaii and Costa Rica keep showing up in EF Go Ahead's top summer list. On Camberin, we are watching users save these exact routes 3x more than last year. If you're planning late, start with Palma for Europe, St Maarten for Caribbean, and Agadir if your budget is tight. Book midweek, fly in September if you can stretch summer, and set a price alert — the data says that's where the deals are hiding. Sources: St Maarten ranked No 1 international, with Mexico City, Palma de Mallorca, Tel Aviv in top 10; Sarasota, Asheville, Dallas/Fort Worth, Fort Myers top US; Agadir named most affordable for summer 2026; top summer 2026 destinations include Greece, Costa Rica, Hawaii, Croatia, Bali.
