It just so happens that the end of April - beginning of May is a mini-holiday season. And even though we completely illogically start our vacation with religious Easter cakes and continue with May “kebabs with cognac,” the soul still requires travel! I’m sure that everyone, back in January, learning about how we’re going on holiday in April, immediately starts packing their virtual suitcases.
Video about beach holidays in April
Previously, at this time we went to visit our grandmother in the village (for Easter!) or to recreation centers (and here for barbecue!). Now infrastructure, imagination and conscience allow you to go anywhere, even to the sea! And I will traditionally answer the following questions:
- Where is the best beach holiday abroad with children in April?
- Will the weather interfere with your vacation?
- Where can you relax by the sea inexpensively?
- What else can you do besides swimming, barbecue and cognac?
The first thing that comes to mind is Emirates and Egypt. The velvet season is just ending here, however, there is no sweltering heat yet. These countries are ideal for the “budget” concept and will happily welcome tourists with children of all ages.
Lovers of expensive exotics are attracted by overseas delights Dominican Republic and Cuba, where the calendar off-season also seems to us, Russians, to be a real paradise - it’s not so hot yet, but the prolonged rains have not started.
In spring you can visit Vietnam– moderately expensive and quite exotic. In April, everyone here is also preparing for the wet season, but nothing interferes with vacation yet.
There is a separate group of travelers (I am one of them) who like to see something thematic and atmospheric. For example, if it’s New Year, then Lapland, and if it’s Easter holidays, then, of course, Israel. In April it is quite warm here and there are many historical excursions.
Go! Although based on the proposed list of countries, we’d rather fly!
Holidays in the UAE
Holidays in the UAE in April, Al Mamzar beach
If you are looking for the best place to go on vacation in March - early April, then be sure to consider the opportunity to visit the United Arab Emirates at least once. In spring it means the sea, delicious food, excursions with great shows, and dizzying shopping.
When planning a trip, we remember the key rules of staying in the UAE, which are determined by centuries-old Arab traditions. Everywhere, except, perhaps, Dubai, women dress modestly, and the “prohibition law” spoils the mood of men. Of course, as tourism develops, these rules are violated more and more often, but I wouldn’t really count on it☺
pros
- Weather. The best beach holiday here is in April, because the thermometer is just beginning to approach its peak.
- Inexpensive tours and local activities. Usually, going to the sea abroad in the spring costs more.
- If you are planning a beach holiday at the end of April with a child, then the Emirates is an excellent choice. There is a lot of entertainment here designed specifically for children, and there are no drunks or rowdy people at all.
Minuses
- Oddly enough, the weather☺ Some reviews of holidays in Dubai in April say that during the day it can be very hot.
- Transportation costs. If you miss the free bus from the hotel, or the weather is bad, be prepared to pay for a taxi or metro.
- Lack of alcohol (albeit partial). Maybe this is good, but for me personally it’s a minus at any time of the year☺
Prices for tours in April
The price of a tour to Dubai, UAE, in April is really encouraging. You can fly to the sea from Moscow for quite reasonable prices. 30 thousand rubles. per person. This is an ordinary price without last minute trips and early booking.

Where to go and what to visit in April?
UAE, Dubai, Dubai Butterfly Garden
In the Emirates, it is almost pointless to look for historical monuments and evidence of ancient civilizations. Here, on the contrary, you need to enjoy the flight of modern engineering.
In addition to the skyscrapers of Dubai, each of which is unique, you can enjoy the sight of magnificent animals. In April, the Dubai International Horse Fair takes place here.
Until the sweltering heat sets in, jeep safaris are great, and even just sightseeing tours around the country visiting all the emirates.
Do you need a visa to the UAE?
Most of us, out of habit, are looking for where to go on vacation without a visa, forgetting that some countries allow get it automatically inexpensive or even free. This is exactly what happens in the Emirates.
You will be given an entry permit for tourism purposes at the airport. immediately upon arrival. If your beach holiday abroad lasts more than 30 days, then your visa will have to be extended for an additional fee.
If the whole family is going to the sea, then pay special attention to the children’s documents. If the child’s surname is different from that of the parents, then this must be supported by documents translated into English and notarized.
Similarly, it is worth ensuring the moment if the child is traveling with only one of the parents.
Holidays in Vietnam
Holidays in April in Vietnam, Ha Long Bay
Mid-spring is the ideal time to travel around Vietnam. Due to the large extent from north to south, the climate in different regions of this country is very different. April is unique in that it evens out all extremes. The north is experiencing typical summer, while the south is gradually approaching the rainy season.
In April, it absolutely does not matter which part of the country you go to – everywhere it will be sunny, warm and comfortable. And even a few episodes of rain are unlikely to ruin your vacation. You can book any excursions or just enjoy nature and the sea - Vietnam at this time of year will fulfill your every whim!

- Excursions. Thanks to excellent weather, you can plan trips to any attraction.
- Fruits. Although in Vietnam they harvest all year round, the most delicious and juicy mangoes are in April!
Minuses
- General high cost. Although April will be cheaper than a winter holiday, everything in Vietnam itself is still expensive. There are a lot of tourists, so the local population is in no hurry to make discounts.
- Humidity. Reviews about Vietnam in April strongly recommend renting a room with air conditioning. It is very difficult to sleep on humid, warm nights.
- Insect bites. The approaching rainy season turns small midges into bloodthirsty beasts. Repellents before and ointment for allergies after are our everything.

Weather in Vietnam in April
In April, the weather in Vietnam is simply ideal for a holiday - the high season is coming to an end, and the rainy season has not yet arrived.
Weather in Vietnam in April, air and sea temperature
In the northern provinces (Ho Chi Minh City, Halong Bay) it is noticeably warmer compared to winter, however, in mountainous areas (Sapa), as well as in areas bordering China, the air will warm up to only +23°C. Also, the rainy season comes to the mountains earlier, so you should take with you not only an umbrella, but also a jacket.
In the central regions - Da Nang, Hoi An and Hue - it is dry and clear. The air temperature here is +31°C, and the sea water warms up to a pleasant +25°C.
South Vietnam will also delight tourists with high temperatures, however, rains are more frequent here. Heavy but short-lived downpours can disturb vacationers about once or twice a week.
Where is the best place to go on vacation and what to visit in April?
Holidays in April in Vietnam, fish at Hoi An Bazaar
Vietnam opens all its attractions to tourists in April–May. The weather and developed infrastructure will allow you to visit a maximum of excursions anywhere in the country.
Halong Bay - at this time of year there are ideal conditions for relaxation. Worth seeing:
- Sung Sot, Tien Kung and Dau Go caves,
- Bai Tu Long Bay,
- Ti Top and Castaway Islands,
- floating village of Cua Van.
Many tourists prefer to organize trips on their own, however, this destination will cost much more for an individual transfer. It is better to go explore the surrounding area as part of a group.
Rice terraces such as Sapa (the most popular and sought-after tourist destination), Mu Chai Kang, Hoang Shu Phi and others are also of interest to travelers. Some of them can be visited in the format of a comprehensive tour from North to South across the provinces of Vietnam, while others offer independent excursions. The approximate cost of the trip is from $175 for three days.
You can rent a car and go yourself - it's cheaper.
Do you need a visa to Vietnam?
For tourists No visa required for Vietnam, if the duration of the trip does not exceed 15 days. You can stay on Phu Quoc Island (without entering the mainland) longer - up to 30 days.
Holidays in Egypt
Holidays in April in Egypt, Soma Bay, Red Sea
Are you looking for where you can go on vacation at the end of April - May that is cheap and good? Of course, by sea to Egypt! At this time, the weather here is excellent - not very hot, but not cold either. In mid-spring, this country is suitable for both active and seal recreation.
April is a great time for frostbitters and lovers of “hot things”. Already in May, Egypt is covered in inhuman heat, when it becomes a problem not only to go on an excursion, but also to simply leave the hotel on the beach in the middle of the day. Vacationing is not only becoming uninteresting, but I would say it’s also unsafe☹
pros
- Egypt is an ideal place where you can relax with a child in March - early April. Favorite All allows you to feed children of any age tasty and healthy. Plus children's clubs and other entertainment in hotels.
- Weather. April is the last month before the hot summer, when temperatures rise to +45°C. Reviews about Egypt in mid-spring are only positive.
- Varied recreation. You can go on any excursions or relax at the hotel near the pool.
- Low cost. Egypt traditionally pleases us with low prices for tours, especially at the end of the season.
- Relatively short flight and no visa required. This, of course, does not depend on the season, but it’s always nice if you fly abroad to the sea☺
- There are much fewer tourists than in winter.
Minuses
- Oddly enough - the price. Vacation packages to Egypt in April are cheaper than in January, but the proximity of the May holidays for Russians again raises their prices.
- Little fruit. The winter ones have already been collected, but the summer ones have not yet ripened. The assortment includes citrus fruits, bananas, strawberries and watermelon.
- Some extreme sports enthusiasts may find it cold (sea water +23°C), but this is very individual. I don’t see the point in flying far away to sit in the lobby under air conditioning during the day. “Sex on the Beach” can be drunk at home, which, taking into account the flight, will be much cheaper☺
Prices for tours in April
Egypt remains the most popular and inexpensive holiday destination. A tour to an all-inclusive hotel for a week in April will cost a reasonable amount 35 thousand rubles. per person.
Prices for a tour in April to Egypt
It is worth noting that such financial “humanism” on the part of tour operators will last for two weeks. Already at the end of April you will have to pay for a similar vacation 47 thousand rubles. The price of a tour to Egypt on the eve of the May holidays is growing by leaps and bounds.

In the first half of April, there is a high probability of khamsin - a hot wind with sand from the desert. Tourists on the Sinai Peninsula complain least often about this phenomenon, but in the Nile River Delta, sandstorms are rare.
Where can you go and what to visit in April?
Holidays in April in Egypt, temples of Abu Simbel
When vacationing in Egypt in April, I would give preference to excursions, which would be problematic to go on later due to the heat. For example, vacationers in Sharm el Sheikh can recommend a trip to Cairo.
What should you pay attention to?
- Pyramids and Sphinx. Overall it's boring. The feeling of the epicness of what is happening does not arise either after hours spent on the bus, or because of the huge number of tourists. Although you need to go once in your life. A kind of tourist and cultural must have in your collection of impressions.
- Cairo Egyptian Museum, which, oddly enough, is much more interesting than the pyramids☺
The excursion to Cairo itself lasts the whole day. Approximately 5 - 6 hours there and the same time back (from Sharm 500 km one way). The bus has air conditioning, so it can be cool.
Better take plenty of water with you From the hotel. Of course, the enterprising bus driver and guide will not let you die of thirst, but half a liter of mineral water from a portable refrigerator will cost $1, and the same volume of cola will cost $2.
The last two hours of the excursion are traditionally spent on a tour of shops and boutiques with recommendations from the guide. Whether it’s worth buying something from them is up to everyone to decide for themselves, but until all the tourists visit one or another retractable shop, “the bus won’t go any further”☹
Do you need a visa to Egypt?
The list of places where you can go on vacation inexpensively without a visa is small. Luckily, Egypt is one of them. Permission to enter the country for up to 30 days is issued to Russians at the airport upon arrival for only $25.
Therefore, if you are planning to go on vacation abroad in April, then both early booking of tours in winter and last-minute tours will be relevant.
Holidays in the Dominican Republic
Holidays in April in the Dominican Republic, the beach near the Sivory hotel
Of all the countries where it is better to vacation in April, the Dominican Republic stands out. This is a real paradise on earth, which, however, is just as difficult to get to as real Eden☺
Magnificent nature, smiling locals and the atmosphere of an eternal holiday - this is what makes it worth enduring a 12-hour flight and a -7 hour time difference (with Moscow). If you can afford an expensive beach holiday abroad, then don’t hesitate to buy a ticket to the Caribbean - you won’t regret it!
pros
- Weather. In April, the high season in the Dominican Republic comes to an end, however, there is still a whole month before the onset of prolonged rains.
- Nature. This is a picturesque country with unique flora and fauna.
- Relatively few tourists. The good thing about holidays in April is that the main influx of travelers has already subsided.
- Few Russian tourists. Let’s not be Russophobes and snobs, but some compatriots are capable of ruining even an elite vacation, demonstrating “breadth of soul” and other, in their opinion, inherent qualities of a Russian person.
- Good quality rum and cola. There is a lot of Dominican rum, which locals hospitably pour for tourists, sometimes absolutely free! This point does not depend on the season, but maybe that’s good?
Minuses
- Poverty of the country in general. There is a lot of garbage on the roadsides, which strongly contrasts with the exotic landscape. This problem can be solved by choosing a good hotel, which, however, will not be cheap.
- The cheerful temperament of the locals is combined with laziness. It's completely normal for them to dance and sing all night long, but their neighbors are so lazy that no one would even think of calling the police☺
- Insects. It’s good if your acquaintance with the local fauna is limited to mosquitoes - the repellent works great on them. What if you meet a tarantula? Locals recommend just passing by. Very valuable advice :)
- The downside of life is marijuana, prostitution, child labor and affordable alcohol. You encounter this immediately upon leaving the hotel. This is typical not only for April, unfortunately...
Prices for tours in April
Even in March - April (the end of the high season) there are no cheap tours to the Dominican Republic. It's all about the transatlantic flight, which “eats up” the lion's share of the cost.
The price of a last minute tour at the end of April - May is no less than 64 thousand rubles. per person for a week's stay in a *** hotel with meals.

Weather in the Dominican Republic in April
The air temperature in the Dominican Republic in April is at least +28°C, and the sea temperature is +27°C.
Weather in the Dominican Republic in April, air and sea temperature
In just a month, showers and hurricanes will come to “the most fabulous land under heaven,” as Columbus put it, but for now you can enjoy the blue, cloudless sky and sun.
At this time, there is increased air humidity, which makes the heat more difficult to bear. By the way, the sun here is very aggressive. A protective cream with SPF 50 will be very useful.
Where to go and what to visit in April?
Holidays in April in the Dominican Republic, Sivory Hotel
There is always something to see in the Dominican Republic. The locals are friendly and hospitable, and the sights are very atmospheric, just like everything else in this piece of paradise.
- Bacardi Island – beaches, shops and an aquarium with sea lions;
- sightseeing tour of the Dominican Islands;
- museum of humpback whales in the city of Samana, as well as watching them live in the bay;
- the Salto de Imenoa waterfall, as well as the unique local village nearby.
As I already wrote, an integral attribute of any excursion remains rum and cola or mamajuana - an authentic liqueur, which includes wine, rum, honey and an incredible amount of local herbs and roots☺
Do you need a visa to the Dominican Republic?
To visit the Dominican Republic for tourism purposes no visa required. A tourist card is issued at the airport, which costs about $10. It allows you to stay in the country for up to 30 days.
Upon departure, you will need to pay another fee of $20 at the airport. Some Russian tour operators immediately include it in the tour price.
Holidays in Israel
Holidays in April in Israel, Jerusalem
If swimming in the sea is not an end in itself, then you can fly to Israel on vacation. In March - April there is an absolutely special atmosphere associated with several religious holidays. Typically, Easter is celebrated in April by Orthodox Christians, Catholics, and Jews themselves, which is why the demand for visiting holy places is especially high at this time.
Israel in April is not the place where people go to sunbathe or swim. It is still cool enough here for a beach holiday, however, visiting this country in the middle of spring will definitely not leave anyone indifferent!
pros
- Excursions. The perfect combination of warm weather and a huge number of attractions allows you to expand your horizons and deeply understand this country.
- Food. Israeli cuisine is very tasty, and in the middle of spring there is also an abundance of fruits and vegetables, which is not usual for us☺
- There is no language barrier. This is especially noticeable right now, when the country is flooded with crowds of tourists in anticipation of the Descent of the Holy Fire.
- Love for children. If you are looking for where to go on vacation with children, then Israel is famous for its complacent attitude towards children (not only in early April, but throughout the year ☺). If noise, squealing and running around are not part of your vacation program, then you should carefully choose a hotel.
Minuses
- Prices. Compared to Turkey and Egypt, the country is expensive. Especially during the holidays☺ Hence the next drawback...
- Unsatisfactory price/quality ratio. This will be especially noticeable after luxury hotels in Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.
- Religious and cultural nuances. For example, Shabbat on Saturdays or Passover, which often falls in April and lasts just over a week.
Prices for tours in April
If you take into account the cost of last-minute trips, then in April you can relax in the Promised Land on a budget. The price of a week-long tour per person is 33 thousand rubles. when staying in an inexpensive hotel ** with breakfast.
Prices for a tour in April to Israel
If you book a vacation tour to Israel with three meals a day (FB), then the same week will cost 70 thousand rubles. per person
Weather in Israel in April, air and sea temperature
This is quite enough to move comfortably around the city, but frankly not enough to sunbathe and swim. Although for those who want to take a bath in the Jordan River or soak in the Dead Sea, these temperatures are quite enough.
It is warmest at this time in Eilat. Here is the maximum the air temperature will be +30°C, and the water temperature will be +23°C.
What to see in Jerusalem:
- Jerusalem itself is a city of three religions;
- Monasteries in the vicinity of the city, for example, the Russian Gornensky Monastery;
- The Church of the Holy Sepulcher or the Church of the Resurrection of Christ, which is forever divided between six representatives of Christian denominations.
A must-see is Bethlehem, the city where Jesus Christ was born, and Nazareth, the city where he grew up.
In light of the upcoming holidays, swimming in the Jordan River takes on special meaning (To do this, by the way, you need to have white baptismal robes with you. Renting a baptismal robe will cost the pilgrim $10, and purchasing it will cost $24.)
Do you need a visa to Israel?
Citizens of the Russian Federation and some CIS countries A visa is not required to visit Israel for tourism purposes.. The main thing is to have a foreign passport, which will be valid for at least another 6 months, and not to make commercial transactions in the country.
Holidays in Cuba
Holidays in April in Cuba, Cayo Jutias beach
When answering the question of where to go on vacation in April, it is best to remember the countries where the tourist season ends at this time. Then it will be cheaper without compromising the impressions and quality of your vacation. One of these countries is Cuba - the mythical Island of Freedom, the aura of which captivates everyone born in the USSR.
Summer, as we understand it, in Cuba lasts 365 days a year, divided into cool and dry winters (high tourist season) and hot, humid summers (low season).
A holiday on Liberty Island can be either very expensive (***** hotels in Varadero) or quite budget-friendly if you go on your own.
pros
- Great weather throughout Cuba. Just one rainy day a week, bright sunshine and warm waters of the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico or Atlantic Ocean.
- Exotic nature. Here you can see several dozen species of palm trees, crocodiles, pelicans and flamingos.
- Price. Reviews from tourists about holidays in April - May indicate that you can save up to 40% of the cost of the tour in comparison with a trip at the height of the winter holidays.
After an unpleasant long Russian winter, I want to finally forget about the vagaries of my native nature and soak up the sun. When spring slush is observed on the streets of Russian cities, many decide to go to the warm, gentle sea. April is a kind of bridge between winter, during which holidays at ski resorts and in different ones are popular, and summer, when it is time for vacations, and therefore travel. Thus, the second month of spring is an ideal time for relaxation: most resorts do not yet have an influx of tourists, and the cost of tours is lower. So, it’s decided, let’s go on vacation! All that remains is to decide on a vacation spot, and for this you need to know where it is warm in April. We will talk about the resorts that are ready to delight you with the gentle sun and warm sea this spring month.
Carefree Egypt
When planning a vacation with children, have you thought about where the sea is warmest in April? Stop thinking, quickly buy a tour to Egypt - the most proven and cheapest traditional resort. In the Arab state, located on the shores of the Red Sea, this month the weather is almost ideal for a beach holiday. Hotels in Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada are not yet full, so you can feel as relaxed as possible. This country with its developed infrastructure is an ideal place to spend time with children. In April, the windy season ends here and comfortable weather sets in - the air temperature is 27 degrees. The water is not very warm yet (on average up to 23 degrees), but is already quite suitable for swimming.
Hot Thailand
This is a place where it is warm at the beginning of April, at the end of April, in September, January and other months, in general, always! However, during our spring in Thailand the weather is not just warm, it is really hot here - the air warms up to 35-40 degrees. If you are not afraid of high temperatures and humidity, then the “land of smiles” will become a paradise for you. Beach holidays here during this period still remain popular, but the intensity of tourists is already lower than in the winter months. Phuket, Samui, Pattaya, Koh Chang - it is impossible to single out a resort where the sea is warmer in April. Wherever you go, great beaches and gentle waters await you.
Cozy Tunisia
It is impossible not to mention this place when talking about warm countries. April is almost ideal, both in terms of weather conditions and in terms of economy. Mediterranean coastal waters in mid-spring are perhaps not yet warm enough for swimming - usually the water temperature does not exceed 16-17 degrees, but the air temperature is already rising to 24-25 degrees, which allows people who do not tolerate heat well, as well as those who wants to get acquainted with the sights of the country. In resorts such as Monastir, Sousse, Djerba, in April it is quite possible to sunbathe, and perhaps even swim. At the same time, you are guaranteed the attention and helpfulness of hotel and bar staff - local residents have not yet had time to get tired of the influx of tourists.
Mysterious Morocco
This is another North African state where it is warm in April. By purchasing a tour to Morocco, you will have an amazing opportunity to spend a vacation on the Atlantic coast. The air temperature and bright sunshine already allow you to enjoy a tan, but the water in the sea is, of course, still not akin to summer (up to 18-20 degrees). The country's most important resort, Agadir, has good hotels and the longest beach in Morocco. It is best to come here on the twentieth of the month: at this time, oranges and other fruit trees bloom in Morocco, and it is certainly worth seeing.
Paradise Canaries
These islands, located relatively close to colorful Morocco, are also best visited towards the end of the month. The most famous resort of the Tenerife archipelago is a place where the heat is already firmly established at the end of April (the air warms up to an average of 22 degrees). Here, as elsewhere in the Mediterranean region, at this time the tourist season is just starting, so there are relatively few vacationers. In general, the Canaries can be described as islands of eternal spring: in autumn, spring, and summer, due to the peculiarities of ocean currents, it is cooler here than in similar latitudes in other regions. Nevertheless, some tourists already swim in the ocean in April.
Amazing Türkiye
In mid-spring, holidays on the Turkish coast are not as popular as in summer - after all, the sea does not warm up as quickly as we would like. Nevertheless, many tourists, attracted by the calm atmosphere, excellent service and low prices, choose this particular time to travel to the country. After all, how nice it is to wander around historical places without the extra fuss inherent in summer. Turkey is amazing in April! Where it is warmer in the spring in this Mediterranean region is in Alanya and Side - these are the leaders in terms of warming rates. Also comfortable in terms of temperature in mid-spring are resorts such as Antalya, Fenik, Kemer, Fethiye. During the day the air warms up to 23 degrees, at night - up to 13. The water temperature reaches 17-20 degrees.
Luxury Emirates
Those who are more attracted by Persian waters than Atlantic ones will certainly enjoy a holiday in the UAE. This is a country where it is warm in April and the sun shines all days. The tourist season is still in full swing, but a large variety of hotels and beautiful beaches will satisfy everyone's needs. Of course, most often, when deciding to visit the Emirates, travelers choose Dubai as their vacation destination - the country's main resort and largest economic center. In April, the weather here is comfortable both for swimming and for visiting excursions - the air warms up to 26-30 degrees. It will be interesting to climb the tallest building in the world - the Burj Khalifa tower, indulge in a jeep safari in the desert, and have fun in local water parks. Do you like shopping? And here duty-free Dubai is at your service.
Other holiday options
Of course, in the article we did not list all the places where it is warm in April, but only the most popular in terms of tourist attendance. Among the more exotic destinations are Cuba, the Maldives, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Sri Lanka. No matter which of these countries you go to, everywhere you can not only sunbathe and swim in the gentle sea, but also visit numerous attractions, which will allow you to become familiar with the culture of these countries. Are you attracted to Asia? Then do not forget that, in addition to Thailand, there is Vietnam, which has not yet been favored by crowds of tourists, with its amazing beaches, as well as two islands that are consistently popular among vacationers - Indonesian Bali and Chinese Hainan. Have a nice April holiday!
For each month we select our own list of holiday destinations abroad. We have compiled a special set of countries where you can fly on vacation for April. These are regions where it is warm, the sun is shining, you can sunbathe and swim in the hot sea.

This applies to India (Goa), Cuba, Vietnam, and Bali.

However, in April, Gran Canaria, Tenerife and other islands are already warmer than in winter, and some tourists dare to swim in the ocean. In general, a spring trip to the Canary Islands, as in the case of Tunisia, is best used to explore numerous local attractions. The average air temperature here in April is about nineteen degrees Celsius.
