Best Easter holiday destinations 2020

Turkey

The mercury in Turkey reaches the low-20s in April, so it’s one of the best destinations in Europe for an Easter break. Aside from topping up your vitamin D intake, get out and explore Turkey’s ancient ruins, impressive beaches, and brightly coloured bazaars. If you’re heading off with kids, opt for Sarigerme, just 20 minutes from Dalaman airport. Our TUI BLUE Tropical hotel has three pools to choose from, complete with waterslides – plus kids’ clubs for 3-11 year olds that run six days a week.

Majorca

Majorca’s temperatures reach the mid-teens in April, so shake off the winter chill without breaking a sweat. The largest of the Balearics, Majorca is full to the brim with beautiful beaches, tonnes of buzzing bars and clubs, plus you can stretch your legs exploring its pine forests and mountains paths. If you’re taking the kids away, try the TUI BLUE Grupotel Mallorca Mar in Cala Bona, which sits right on the seafront.

Florida

Whether you’re off on a long-haul family holiday with lots of sun, or heading for the theme parks with your gang, stick with the Easter theme on an Alice in Wonderland-inspired trip to Florida. Meet the Easter Bunny in the Magic Kingdom Park, and spot the White Rabbit darting through the crowds as you nibble on an Easter egg or two. The mercury rests in the high-20s in the spring, so you’ll get a real taste of summer in April. Florida comes up trumps for a beach break, too, with stretches of sand like Daytona, Clearwater, and St Pete’s to visit. Or, head to the Everglades National Park to spot alligators and turtles in the wild.

Cyprus

The average temperature in Cyprus in April makes it a great time to visit the island, with the weather reaching highs of 23 degrees. It’s also a beach-holiday favourite, with 64 Blue Flag sandy spots to choose from, the buzzing bars of Ayia Napa to enjoy, and activities for all ages. Booking a family holiday? TUI SENSATORI Atlantica Aphrodite Hills caters to both adults and kids. Practice your swing at the golf course and get pampered at the award-winning spa. Meanwhile, kids can hang out at the Play House children’s club. Or, head to Pissouri Beach – a 15-minute drive from Aphrodite Hills – to have a go at jet-skiing and paragliding. And once you’ve had your fill of the sea, the Watermania Water Park is just a 30-minute drive away in Fasouri.

Lanzarote

The Canary Islands are well known for being warm throughout the year, and by the Easter break it will really have started to heat up in Lanzarote, reaching the mid-20s. Visit Timanfaya National Park to ride camels and learn about the volcanic eruption that created the island’s barren landscape 300-years ago, or relax on the beaches. Lanzarote was one of Europe’s first mainstream holiday destinations, so it’s had plenty of time to make sure its beach holidays are first class. Stay at the TUI BLUE Natura Palace for a couples’ getaway on the seafront, and you’ll be in Playa Blanca, one of the island’s best-loved resorts.
