Where To Travel in April
April is a great time to travel and there is no better time than now to get something booked in. With weather improving throughout Europe but prices still remaining low, April is a fantastic time to bag a bargain holiday. When people ask us for the Best Places to Travel in April, we are thinking about a variety of factors. ‘What will the weather be like?’ ‘Will the resort be open for tourists?’ ‘Is it affordable?’ More importantly we want to know ‘What does this person want from their holiday?”. If you want to explore historic sights, enjoy long coastal walks, do particular activities – then you don’t need the weather to be scorching hot. But if you want to lay on a beach and tan, the weather plays a much bigger part.
Where is hot in April?
Weather is unpredictable at the best of times, but certain places are more likely to have the sun shining with less chance of rain. If you want to travel in April and are looking for the hottest possible weather, you need to do your research. Below are the average temperatures for a variety of cheap destinations you can travel to in April. These are average high temperatures, meaning you have no guarantee that the weather will work in your favour. This is true at all times of the year but choosing the right destination will definitely improve your chances of seeing some sunshine.
Below are some destinations to consider along with their average high temperature in April. Use our search feature to look for a few of these from your local airports.
Sharm el Sheik. Egypt – 30°C
Hurghada, Egypt – 28°C
Marrakech, Morrocco – 24°C
Lanzarote – 24°C
Seville, Spain – 23°C
Tenerife – 22°C
Antalya, Turkey – 22°C
Gran Canaria – 20°C
Costa del Sol, Spain – 20°C
Algarve, Portugal – 20°C
Will everything be open?
Resorts with great April temperatures attract lots of visitors, so the answer for many of the destinations above is yes! But it is always important to ask this question and do your research before setting your sights on a destination. When you find an amazing price that seems too good to be true, always look into what is open at that particular time of year.
Many resort towns close over the winter months meaning bars and restaurants could be closed when you visit. Hotels often remain open but with hugely reduced prices. This can be a great opportunity to bag a bargain if you are looking to enjoy the natural wonders of the destination. You can still explore landmarks, take walks along the beach, shop at supermarkets for your meals and enjoy time with your friends or family, all at a hugely reduced price. Some hotels will be offering Half board or All Inclusive stays, some will have pools, spa facilities, a bar within the hotel – so the lack of things open in town may not bother you at all.
If you do want to bag a bargain and travel to a seasonal destination outside of the tourist season, look at cities and towns where many locals live. If people live there, there will be bars and restaurants open to cater for them. For example if you wanted to travel to Ibiza in April, you would be better staying close to Ibiza Town as opposed to San Antonio. Certain destinations like the Canary Islands are year round destinations, and so will be lively whenever you choose to visit. Doing your research is very important.
All Inclusive or Self Catering?
This really comes down to what sort of holiday you are looking for. All Inclusive is great in that it removes any food related decision making from your holiday. If you are anything like us, making a decision as to where to eat can take a while. All Inclusive makes it easier to predict what the entire trip will cost. When you book an all inclusive package holiday, everything is pretty much covered, so extra spending isn’t essential. Bear in mind that if you don’t plan to stay around the hotel all day, it can end up being a pricey option if you don’t take full advantage of it. Breakfast included or Half board are alternatives that might work out better value for you in this situation.

Ksamil is a town on the Albanian Riviera and has had some very mixed reviews over the years, and I think a lot of that comes down to when you visit.
We absolutely loved our trip. It was incredibly affordable too - we paid £190 for six nights in an apartment that slept five! (This was in 2023) I’ve written a full blog post about the trip over on the website, where I’ve shared some great-value accommodation options and tips if you’re thinking about booking something similar.
Comment BLOG and I’ll send you the link along with some cheap flights and info on how to get there!
Expect things like:
🍻 £1.50 pints
🦐 Seafood dishes for under £10
☀️ Beautiful, crystal-clear beaches
We visited in May, when there were very few other people around. The town was just starting to open up for the season, the weather was lovely, and it felt relaxed and easy to enjoy.
June also seems like a great time to visit – a few more things open, but still without the peak summer crowds.
July and August appear to be a very different experience. The town is quite small, and it struggles to cope with the number of visitors in peak season. It can feel very crowded, and prices - particularly for things like sun loungers - can become very steep because of the demand.
So if Ksamil is on your list, timing really is everything!
