Where is hot in April in Europe? 7 dreamy destinations that sizzle
April marks a shift in Europe, as those in the south of the continent pack away their winterwear for another year, with little to no chance of dusting off the coats again until the end of the year. It’s true that many seasonal hotels don’t open their doors until May, and easy access to some destinations depends on direct flights that run between May and October. That said, with a trend for travellers avoiding peak summer temperatures in favour of cooler climes, the shoulder season really is where it’s at right now. Think Greek island hopping without the crowds, affordable rates in some of Bodrum’s sleekest hotels, and a taste of authentic Mallorca via vineyards and seaside restaurants – all with long, sunny and balmy days. Here, we round up the best places where it is hot in April in Europe, alongside recommendations of where to stay.
Where is the hottest place in Europe in April?
There are a few contenders for the title of Europe’s hottest April destination. Among them is southern Spain, which has the continent’s only desert climate, meaning temperatures can climb to pleasant highs year-round. Cyprus offers similarly high temperatures year-round; so much so that the ‘summer season’ is longer and sees some seasonal hotels open their doors earlier than in other parts of Europe.
Where is the hottest place to holiday in April?
Just as things heat up in Europe, plenty of destinations around the world sizzle on. Some of our favourite destinations to visit in April for sunshine include Mexico, Marrakech, Thailand and Zambia.

Bodrum, Turkey
Turkey’s turquoise coast has had quite the rebrand in recent years. The glitterati have claimed Bodrum and the surrounding locale as their own, helped by successive hotel openings that even the most discerning travellers can’t help but fawn over. Lured by crystalline waters, powdery sands and a roster of addresses worth being seen at, the area can get rather busy during the peak summer months. Visit in April, just as the seasonal hotels open their door, and soak up comfortable temperatures that may even entice you for a dip in the (admittedly chilly) Aegean.
Where to stay: Lujo Hotel Bodrum opens its doors by mid-April, ushering in the first wave of visitors into its lush suites and extraordinary villas. With a state-of-the-art spa, a dazzling stretch of beach, a water sports area, a sports academy and various things for younger travellers to enjoy, it has quickly become one of the coast’s most adored hotels by families.
