April holidays can be very popular with families as it is the ideal time to take a short break during the Easter school holidays. Travelling at this time of year means that resorts are not as busy and temperatures are slightly cooler which some people may prefer to the hot summer season.

European resorts such as southern Spain, The Canaries, Cyprus and Portugal are all popular for April holidays as they are perfect destinations for short breaks and they still offer a warmer alternative to the dreary British weather. However if you are looking for scorching temperatures destinations further afield such as Africa and Egypt will really deliver with temperatures reaching the thirties. Egypt offers a truly amazing holiday with beautiful beaches and amazing historical sights it truly is a holiday not to be missed. Africa offers an equally unforgettable experience with unique cultures and a chance to see the "big five" on safari.

April holidays are also the perfect time to catch the end of the skiing season across Europe's many resorts. This quieter time may be perfect for beginners to get to grips with an exciting new hobby while the slopes are less busy. April is a popular time for other activity holidays as well, with cooler temperatures make sports such as horse riding and rock climbing easier.

Taking a cruise is another excellent option for holidays in April. Many options are available including the Mediterranean, Hawaii or the Panama Canal. These holidays are a great way to explore a destination in a relaxed and organised way and are perfect if you are looking to escape the hectic pressures of day to day life.

April can be an ideal time to take your holiday whatever you are looking for with quieter resorts and a wealth of options available anyone can find an ideal holiday for their needs.
