Holidays in April

April is a popular time to visit this Balearic island gem. The hotel pools have had time to warm up and the sea is ready for a dip – you’ll be spoiled for choice with beautiful coves around each corner. With the temperature just right, why not grab a hire car and visit Majorca’s most amazing natural wonders? 

Temperatures reach the high teens during spring in Menorca, making April the perfect time to visit – especially if you don’t like excessive heat. You’ll discover beaches that are less crowded than those in Majorca, and a choice of hotels in the most sought-after areas. Enjoy the Caribbean-esque shoreline of Cala Blanca, and the chilled-out vibes of Cala’n Bosch.

If you’re a fan of laidback holidays, don’t miss a visit to Corfu in April. With the weather warm and pleasant, you’ll get to spend time on Corfu’s beaches without the crowds, and explore the charms of Corfu Town at your own pace. Our favourite resorts include Sidari in the north, and Gouvia on the east coast.

Zante is home to some wonderful beaches, including the world-famous Shipwreck Cove. And while things certainly get busy in the summer months, you’ll find April easy-going, with space to enjoy the best sandy spots on the island. Don’t miss a boat trip to the stunning Blue Caves, and a stroll around the capital, Zante Town.

If you’re all about getting the perfect tan on holiday, you’ll love Sharm el Sheikh in April – the mercury hits highs of 30°C. You can snorkel right off the bay in Sharm, where you’ll find coral reefs teeming with marine life. Scuba divers get to explore some of the world’s best site including Shark Reef and Thistlegorm Wreck.

Turkey’s gorgeous southern resort town of Antalya springs to life in April, when the warmer weather makes beach days a pleasure. Our favourite spots include the white sands of Cleopatra Beach and the magnificent mountain views at Konyaalti. History lovers will be in for a real treat with a 3,000 year-old Roman ruin and the ancient city of Perge ready to be explored.
