Easter holiday deals!

Guaranteed sunshine? Check. Gorgeous beaches? Check. Fewer crowds? Check! Get ahead of the pack and sneak in some Easter sunshine before the height of summer in the Canaries, Cyprus and more.

The Canary Islands

How do blue skies and balmy weather sound? Well, that’s what you can expect in the Canaries, where Easter temperatures hover around the mid-20s. Whether you fancy Tenerife, Lanzarote, or Gran Canaria, one thing is guaranteed: sun and lots of it.

Cyprus

By the time Easter rolls around, things are really starting to heat up in Cyprus. Expect temperatures in the high 20s, with quieter beaches and package holiday deals aplenty. Head to Paphos for culture, Nicosia and Limassol to relax, and Ayia Napa for its legendary nightlife.

Florida

If you don’t mind a longer flight, Easter sun is all but guaranteed in Florida, with temperatures clocking in at the high 20s. Besides white-sand beaches in Miami and Destin, you’ll find cosmopolitan cities, sprawling national parks, and, of course, enough theme parks to fill a week with fun.

Use your Easter bank holidays in the best way possible – with a quick weekend break! Whether you want to embrace the celebrations or avoid them entirely, these fantastic city break destinations are all excellent options.

Seville

If you like your Easter celebrations big, book a city break in Seville. This Spanish stunner has been celebrating the holy week since the 16th century, with gigantic processions of worshippers carrying ornate religious statues. The city itself, one of the prettiest in Spain, is packed with history, culture and delicious Andalusian food.

Marrakech

You won’t find chocolate eggs in this Moroccan city – and that’s the point. This is the place to escape Easter completely. Wander Marrakech’s rust-red medina, haggle with shopkeepers for bargains, and dine on tasty street food in the city’s enormous Jemaa el-Fnaa square.

Amsterdam

Miles of postcard-perfect canals of await in Amsterdam, a city famed for its world-beating culture and raucous nightlife. Do as the locals do and explore the city on two wheels with a cycling tour, before hitting the bars of Leidseplein. In between, visit the old masters at the Rijksmuseum.

Still seeking staycations? You can squeeze in a lot on an Easter break in the UK, whether you’re after an extended city break or a week-long adventure during the school holidays.

London

World-class museums, brilliant theatre, food and drink from every corner of the world… when it’s time for a UK city break, London never lets you down. And during Easter, the city goes into overdrive, with special events, shows, family attractions and more on offer. 

Yorkshire

Home to a long coastline, the sweeping countryside of the Dales, and dynamic cities such as Leeds and Sheffield, Yorkshire has something for everyone. It’s also packed with National Trust properties, and many of them put on Easter activities every year, making God’s Own Country a great shout for families.

Devon

For a beach holiday without the faff of the airport, head to Devon for Easter 2023. With two stretches of coastline and some of the best weather in the UK, this southern county is a great option for a beach break. Take your pick from the north coast’s wild surf beaches or the pretty harbour towns in the south.
