need some ideas for holiday in april (sunny!)

ali99

Hi - the school holidays in our area are the first two weeks in april and I would love some good ideas on where we could go. We have 3 girls who will be 5, 3 and nearly 1. We would be looking for some sunshine. We have been to lanzarote at a similar time but it wasn't all that warm, not as nice as later in the year anyway. Where else could we go? Ideally no more than about 5 hours on a plane, and ideally flying from either bristol or birmingham. We need sun, sand and a heated swimming pool. We would love to stay in a private villa - we found the most perfect place in Lanzarote and so have been a bit spoilt!

Any ideas?

Thanks, Ali

have you tried cyprus? both ayia napa and pathos are really good and very child friendly. i love cyprus (been 5 times) the waterparks are also great fun for a day out.

I agree Cyprus is lovely. Potaris is a good family resort and a short bus ride from the livlier Aiya Napa if you want more action. I would add some caution though that a lot of things do not open until after Easter which can be timed differently there. I have been a few times in the Easter holidays and the weather is very pleasant, although it has never been warm enough to swim in the sea.

Egypt.

Money wise you can get a 5star hotel in Sharm for very little.

If you go to Cairo there is no beach but obviously the Pyramids, Giza etc... But a week is more than long enough.

Alexandria is on the coast and is a bit more expensive than Sharm.

Hurghada is on the coast and has some amazingly beautiful beaches. Pretty cheap to go and stay there.

Generally though i would go to Sharm, premium holiday on a budget.

Paphos (Cyprus) is best
