We tell you where the warmth is in April: a selection of countries that are relevant for a sunny vacation. Where to relax without a visa, all-inclusive or simply inexpensive?
April is no longer winter, but it is not summer either. Therefore, if the desire to go to a place where warmth is especially great, you will still have to choose from the good old Asia and the Caribbean. In Europe and Turkey, of course, there can be hot days, but the sea is unlikely to warm up to seasonal temperatures.
The reviews of tourists who give advice on where to go to the sea abroad in April, and our own experience of beach holidays in the spring will be useful to us.
Where can the Russians go? Please note that in the article we talk in general about the directions where it is warm in April and where you can swim.
And if you decide to relax in Russia, do not forget about the third stage of the tourist cashback from Rostourism! |
By the way, our trip cost us only 67,000 rubles for two - it was Phuket for 11 days. Having tried once a certain scheme for finding cheap tours, we use it all the time. 🙂 Namely: we are looking for a ticket online using three major services that compare offers from all tour operators at once:
- Travelata
- Level.Travel
- Onlinetours
We look at each one and, having seen a “tasty” price in the right direction, we plan immediately, because they - prices - are very unstable and do not wait until tomorrow.
Where to relax in April at the sea? Weather
At the end of April, when the planes were still flying and we weren't wearing masks, we ended up in Barcelona. Of course, it's still early to swim, but the weather is great for walking!
As of April 2021, the list of countries where you can relax and sunbathe earlier than expected has thinned out so much that it is already sad. Also, Turkey was suddenly shut down from April 15th ... On the other hand, thank you for having anywhere to fly, right?
So, open countries:
- UAE - here is perhaps the best sea for families and children in April. April is the ideal weather period following a "cold" winter (as far as possible in the Emirates), but preceding a terribly hot summer.
- Egypt - yes, you will have to fly on your own; read our article on the link and make sure it's not difficult.
- Maldives - it's good here in April; in principle, the islands can hardly be bad, they are also created for a paradise life, even if only for a couple of weeks.
- Cuba - spring is the season in Cuba, you will not go wrong with the weather.
- Cyprus - opened on April 1, you can become a pioneer in Cyprus, which has not seen tourists for over a year.
Still closed countries, which so far can only be dreamed of in pictures on the Internet:
- Turkey - you can do everything: relax in a classy hotel for an inexpensive price, walk along the embankments, go on excursions and run around the clock to the buffet - but do not swim in the sea, it is still cool.
- Tanzania - the island of Zanzibar - the only "tropics" available to us at an adequate cost and with direct flights from nine major cities of Russia.
- Thailand - we can say that the beach season in April continues in tropical countries. Thailand, for example, is as hot as the winter "high" months, but it is more humid, stuffy, and rains on occasion. Which, by the way, are just rains, not a tsunami or a flood, as some think.
- Dominican Republic is still dry and less crowded than at the peak of tourist activity, because the beginning of the wet season is approaching.
- India (Goa) - in India, the period of demand is also coming to an end - the temperatures are heating up, the stuffiness is increasing, and therefore in April it is most comfortable to relax on the coast, in Goa.
- Vietnam - guaranteed clear and beachy in the middle of spring in Vietnam. Small villages, provinces full of our compatriots, islands - there is plenty to choose from
place 🙂 - Countries where it is pleasant to walk - the main advantage of a holiday abroad in April is the absence of crowds at popular resorts. So, travel to Israel, Italy, usually buzzing with the hubbub of Chinese / Europeans / Russians, at the beginning of the month will allow you to breathe deeply. The air is already warm enough, but swimming in the sea (more precisely, its dubious possibility) scares off typical "baggies". The Black and Mediterranean Sea is just beginning to warm up in early spring off the coast of Tunisia. It should be remembered that heavy rains may still fall at this time.
Where is the inexpensive beach vacation in April? TOP 3 countries
✓ Oddly enough, partially warmed up Turkey attracts a good half of the tourists. Firstly, this is a resort where you can relax on the sea in April at an affordable price - from 40,000 rubles per week for two! Secondly, at the beginning of the month in the air during the day it is stable from + 20 ° С, trees are blooming, and excursions and shopping are still quite budgetary. The cool sea can be effectively replaced by a heated pool, and rainy days can be replaced with an all-inclusive one in a hotel restaurant.
✓ For a real and, importantly, inexpensive beach vacation in April, we recommend going to the UAE (from 60,000 rubles for 7 nights for two with breakfast). The flight from the capital will take the shortest possible time, and the sun will bestow warmth and sunburn as much as possible, without tormenting the scorching heat, which will begin a month later.
✓ Where to fly at sea in April in a more exotic setting? In Southeast Asia, there is no country cheaper than Thailand (Phuket or Pattaya) - 10-day vouchers cost from 80,000 rubles for two.
UAE
The best beach in Dubai is La Mer. It's also free!
The middle of spring is the most comfortable period for beach tourists. The average air temperature reaches + 32 ° C, and the sea temperature is + 25 ° C ... + 27 ° C, which provoke an influx of tourists in the UAE.
Where to go and which resort to choose? Of course, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah are famous locations where they enjoy the abundance of the sun.
In addition, the Emirates are very convenient for having a rest in April at sea with a child. Luxury hotels, excellent infrastructure and all conditions are guaranteed for travelers with small children. But! Such a trip will cost more - from 100,000 rubles for three (2 adults + a child). low prices are for hotels located far from the beach and without food.
