You’ve researched where’s hot in April, now it’s time to get you there for less. From family fun in Tenerife and cultural escapes in Paphos to hiking holidays in Heraklion, you don’t have to travel long haul to find some spring sun. But if you’re seeking sun, sea and 30°C+ heat, a long-haul trip to tropical Cancun or Krabi or bask-in-the-desert heat of Hurghada (Egypt) or Dubai (UAE) may be in order.
With the Easter holidays falling in the first half of the month in 2026, there may be increased competition for that end-of-term getaway. But if you can be flexible and travel later in the month, there’s deals to be had.
Whether you’re looking for short-haul April beach holidays, or the reliable warmth and 30⁰C+ temperatures of a longer-haul destination, we’ve collated the best April holiday deals from the UK’s top travel operators so you can compare thousands of cheap April holidays in one place. Plus, all of the package holidays on TravelSupermarket are ATOL-protected, so you can book your April escape with complete confidence.
If you’re ready to swap temperamental weather at home for sunshine, use our filters below to compare deals by budget, board basis and flight time.
The post-Easter "value vacuum"
Because Easter falls early on the 28th of March in 2027, the peak school holiday surge is completely over by the first few days of April. If you can fly any time after the 4th of April, you’ll hit a "value vacuum" where prices for the Canary Islands and Cyprus plummet just as the Mediterranean weather begins to truly settle. It’s the ultimate window for child-free travellers to snag mid-summer heat at low-season rates.
The "Songkran" Thailand hack
If you are heading to Krabi or Phuket in mid-April, you’ll run straight into Songkran (Thai New Year). While it’s the most vibrant time to visit, demand for local flights and hotels spikes between the 13th and 15th of April. To keep your budget intact, book your internal travel well in advance or aim to arrive from the 18th of April onwards, when the festivities wind down and luxury resort prices return to their sensible spring levels.

FAQs
Is April a cheap month for a sunny holiday?
With Easter Sunday falling on 5 April this year, the school holidays are impacting prices for travel in the first two weeks of April especially. However, destinations such as the Caribbean and Thailand are leaving their peak seasons in April, meaning prices are likely to be lower later in the month, with good deals to be had.
Where is the best value for money in April?
The best value holidays in April are in destinations that have either left or aren’t yet experiencing their peak seasons. Across Europe, pre-summer weather in the Canary Islands, the Algarve and southerly spots such as Cyprus, Crete or Malta offer warmth at lower prices than peak summer. Or longer haul, the Caribbean and Mexico are leaving their dry season in April.
Are all-inclusive deals cheaper in early April or late April?
For the cheapest all-inclusive deals in April, travel later in the month. Increased demand around the Easter school holidays means that flights and hotels are at a premium in the first half of the month, though you may be able to score a last-minute deal if you’re flexible on your exact travel dates and destination.
Which budget-friendly destinations are hot in April?
Short-haul destinations such as the Canary Islands and Cyprus are warming up in April, with temperatures around 20⁰C. With numerous airlines and operators serving both, you’ll find prices outside of the Easter holidays are competitive. For a city break, try Seville or Athens before the summer rush. Longer haul, Thailand and Vietnam are good value options.
Is it cheaper to fly to Turkey or Greece in April?
Turkey is generally cheaper than Greece in April, due to slightly cooler temperatures and the weaker Turkish Lira compared to the Euro. Expect daytime maximums of around 19°C in Greece in April, compared to average maximums of around 16°C in Turkey.
