Top Destinations for Some Easter sun This Spring

Costa de la Luz, Spain

Found to the west of the busier and more built-up Costa del Sol, the Costa de la Luz offers a quieter, more unspoiled side of Andalucía. Meaning ‘coast of light’, this area has miles of stunning sandy beaches, protected nature reserves and the beautiful and historic cities of Cádiz, Tarifa and Sanlúcar.

The Greek Islands

Our favourite Greek islands for an Easter getaway include Crete and Rhodes because they’re two of the warmest. While the smaller islands of Mykonos and Paxos offer stylish boutique accommodation. Plus, a wonderfully slow pace of life to adapt for a while.

Sicily

The island at the toe of Italy’s ‘boot’, Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean. It’s great for some Easter sun because it has mild temperatures and a lower chance of rain. Explore this Italian holiday destination to taste fabulous Italian food by the sea. Also, learn about Italy’s culture by visiting historical sites in Syracuse or the ancient city of Palermo. A day visiting Mount Etna (the largest active volcano in Europe), is where you can capture incredible cones and stem venting craters on camera too.

Turkey

Both the western Aegean coast and the southern ‘Turquoise’ coast of Turkey are warm and welcoming in the spring. Bodrum on the west coast is an elegant castle city on the sea, while in the south, you’ll find the harbour city of Antalya, a collection of little village resorts, and the crystal blue waters that give the area its nickname.

Mauritius

Further afield, this jewel in the Indian ocean reaches temperatures of nearly 30 degrees during spring and Easter. It’s a sun worshipper’s paradise, but it also offers some of the best snorkelling and diving to be found anywhere, thanks to its huge unbroken barrier reef.

Barbados

The Caribbean is a great choice for Easter, as the season is coming to a close while the weather remains warm and blissfully tropical. In Barbados, There’s also a vibrant restaurant scene for foodies, with fresh fish, seafood, and delicious street food. Why not go on a food tour to sample all the Barbadian foods and cuisine?

Koh Samui, Thailand

In the spring, the east coast of Thailand is in its dry season, so the island of Koh Samui offers a sun-drenched escape. It can get very hot though, so may not be for you if you don’t like intense heat. You’ll find a variety of luxurious spas and resorts to choose from on this palm-fringed island, perfect for some real relaxation.

California

There are guaranteed blue skies all year round in the Golden State, and Easter is no exception. California is wonderfully varied too, offering everything from majestic redwood forests to sweeping sandy beaches, plus miles of coastline roads designed to help you take it all in.

These are just a few exciting destinations that could bring some sunshine into your life this Easter or springtime. Any of them would make a great location for a holiday and some time away.
