Europe wakes up and long-haul is still good. The month's one complication is Easter, which moves and doubles prices wherever it lands.
Outside the Easter fortnight, April gives you warm southern Europe and long-haul still in season.
Southern Spain, Portugal, Sicily and Crete are warm enough to enjoy without the summer heat or crowds. The Indian Ocean and Caribbean are at the tail of their dry seasons and slightly cheaper for it. Japan's cherry blossom peaks in the first ten days. And April is our joint pick, with October, for South Africa — the Cape is still warm and the bush is workable. Check where Easter falls before you do anything else.
In season this month, with honest temperatures.
22°C, orange blossom, and the Feria if you time it right.

Guide prices, per person, based on two sharing, including return flights, accommodation and transfers. They indicate what a holiday of this type has typically cost and are not an offer or a quotation. Your price depends on dates, party, board basis, departure airport and availability, and is confirmed in writing before any payment is taken.
In season this month, and every one can be reshaped around your dates.
