Costa Del Sol

Flight time — Approx. 2 hours 45 minutes

Avg. temperature in April — 20⁰C

Costa Del Sol has every reason to be called the sunshine coast, thanks to its offering of around 320 days of sun every year. If you’re travelling as a family, you won’t be short of things to do. Resorts such as Fuengirola and Benalmadena offer heaps of activities including waterparks and zoos. If you want to step back in time, pay a visit to one of Costa Del Sol’s old Spanish villages such as Nerja or Frigiliana. Both are steeped in tradition with an authentic Andalusian feel. With a coastline stretching a whopping 161 kilometres, blue flag beaches are in abundance, making Costa Del Sol your number one choice this Easter.

Majorca

Flight time — Approx. 2.5 hours

Avg. temperature in April — 18⁰C

With well-known family resorts such as Alcudia, Cala Bona and Puerto Pollensa, Majorca needs little or no introduction. Travelling to Majorca takes little effort and with a flight time of around 2.5 hours, the kids and adults could be splashing around in the pool in no time. The beaches in Majorca are family friendly with crystal clear shallow coves for the little ones to paddle in. If you’re travelling as a group or a couple and are looking for something a little livelier, head to the popular resorts of Magaluf and Palma Nova, where you can party into the small hours.

Portugal

Flight time — Approx. 2 hours 40 minutes

Avg. temperature in April — 20⁰C

Portugal is made up of its mainland and neighbouring islands Madeira and Porto Santo.  The Algarve, located on the mainland is certainly king of the castle when it comes to its stunning coastline. Beautiful beaches and small sandy coves give families long endless days of fun in the sun. Alvor and Carvoeiro have kept their traditional village charm and are a great choice for a family holiday. If you fancy something a little livelier Albuferia is a more upbeat resort offering you trendy cocktail bars and after hours’ nightclubs. Jet off to Portugal this Easter and you won’t be disappointed.

Canary Islands

Flight time — Approx. 4 hours

Avg. temperature in April — 22⁰C

Nicknamed the have-it-all islands for a reason, the Canary Islands are the ultimate crowd pleaser. Thanks to their location being way closer to Africa than it is Spain, each island benefits from 20+ degree heat all year-round. Although they share the same climate, they all have something different to offer their holidayers. Take Tenerife for example, here you can take a cable car up to the world’s third-largest volcano, Mount Teide. Or, in Fuerteventura, take part in some of the best watersports in Spain.  No matter which island you choose, there’s guaranteed to be something for you, so take a look at our last minute holidays to Fuerteventura.

Turkey

Brimming with Blue Flag beaches, age-old sights and a sprinkling of spice markets, Turkey offers holidays that are one of a kind.

As for those after an adult-only escape, you can step back in time and learn all about its left-behind landmarks or hit the bazaars and boutiques for some retail therapy. Whatever type of Easter holiday you’re looking for, you can have it in just under a four-hour flight time and enjoy pleasant temperatures of around 18 degrees.

And with both resorts being backed by desert, there’s plenty to do out of the water too. Head out on a safari where quad bikes, camels and dune buggies will take you for a family day to remember.
