If you’re longing to get away from it all this Easter, either with your other half or the kids, it could be time to start thinking about faraway shores. Holidays abroad can sometimes be cheaper than UK breaks. If you choose the right destination, you might even get some much needed sunshine into the bargain. Here’s our lowdown on the best places to visit for Easter sun.
Majorca
Florida
Lanzarote
Offering year round sunshine, the Canary Islands are always a popular Easter choice with Lanzarote offering a mix of modern beach resorts and natural exploration. Average April temperatures are around 23°C so lazy beach days are definitely on the cards. Resorts such as Costa Teguise are packed with opportunity with five sandy beaches, an 18-hole golf course and the splash-tastic Costa Teguise Aquapark providing plenty of options for family fun. The capital Arrecife, brimming with Canarian charm and excellent seafood spots, is just a 15-minute drive from the resort. No trip to the island is complete without a day spent at Timanfaya National Park with its spectacular volcanic landscapes. Visitors can choose to navigate the intriguing lunar-like landscapes from the back of a camel if they’re brave enough.
Cyprus
Steeped in history, myth and legend, Cyprus in April provides coastal temperatures of around 22°C with slightly warmer days inland. These pleasant temperatures can be perfect for young families with the option of sandcastle-building fun and low-key sightseeing. The Paphos region is scattered with Blue Flag beaches and has retained much of its Cypriot charm. The old quarter of Paphos town offers a pleasant place to explore with several quaint churches, old forts and temples. There are plenty of family-friendly options too such as the Paphos Aphrodite Waterpark and Pafos Zoo. The Kato Paphos Archaeological Park is a must for culture vultures with a history dating back more than eight thousand years. It’s UNESCO listed and showcases some well-preserved Roman mosaic floors. If you want to elevate your next family vacation, a villa vacation rental in Paphos is the way to go.
Turkey
We all deserve a break from time to time and Easter can be the perfect time to recharge your batteries. Although the temperatures may not be quite as hot as the summer months, holidays in April can provide pleasant days for sightseeing and beach action, without the high-season crowds, which can be appealing for families with young children to cater for. We hope our best places to visit for Easter sun this year has given you some inspiration!
