Holiday Hunt: Eggscellent Easter Escapes

Easter: Show me the Bunny

So Spring is sprung and we are heading towards a late Easter in April. If you haven’t planned an Easter break yet and are resigned to staying at home and eating your bodyweight in overpriced chocolate eggs, think again.

It’s not too late to get away and take advantage of the extra days off and a late Easter means it’s still cold enough to ski but also warm enough to sunbathe in Southern Europe. Suitable for everyone, it’s not just Friday that has to be Good!

High Altitude: Eggstreme Skiing

Easter Bun-Ski: In what has been an erratic ski season from a weather point of view, April is always going to be a bit of a gamble. This year it could be perfect powder - or all gone. So aim high for a glacier area, just in case.

Mention April skiing to the French and they will react the same way as if you started drinking Bordeaux wine out of a pint glass. However, this means lack of crowds and discounted rooms. Flights may be higher but overall it can be a great time to visit the mountains.

My Suggestion: Take a 4 night Catered Chalet in Tignes or Val d’Isère from £499pp departing Gatwick on 15 April17 with Transfers. The Grand Motte glacier is skiable all year.

Land ahare: Cruising for a Bruges-ing

Easter Bun-Sea: Cruising is one of the current boom areas of travel and if you are not 'shore’ whether you will like it, try a mini cruise where cruise ships sail away for a weekend with full facilities including optional black tie nights. 

Popular with families, these trips also attract a much younger clientele which creates a fun and enjoyable atmosphere. Granted the English Channel is not one of the traditional Seven Seas but it’s all about the Ship not the destination.

My Suggestion: Take a 2 night Mini Cruise on P&O’s flagship Britannia from £299pp in a Balcony Stateroom sailing from Southampton on 14 April17 to Zeebrugge for Bruges.

Menorca: Easter Sandy

Easter Sun-ny: Who doesn’t want some sunshine right now? Traditional sun hot spots such as Tenerife and Cyprus have been booked up for some time but there are alternatives if you just need some warmth.

Try the Balearic islands where the climate will be pleasant (i.e. better than at home) and will allow you to explore the area without peak season crowds. Some restaurants may be closed so aim for an open all year town rather than a dedicated holiday resort.


My Suggestion: Go for a 7 night break in Menorca where you can get a 4⭐️Hotel with Breakfast from £447pp departing Gatwick on 10 April17. Includes relaxation. 

Morocco: Roger Rabat

Easter Dune-y: If you are the active type and not good at sitting still for long then there are a number of small group adventure trips you can take suitable for individuals, couples or whole families (important to get the right one here!). 

Escape the chocolate-a-thon and ride camels in the Sahara desert, cycle in the high Atlas mountains & haggle poorly in the souks of Marrakech with an adventure to Morocco.

My Suggestion: Join a last minute adventure trip to Morocco for 8 days including flights, accommodation, transport & guides from £1,069pp; haggling classes excluded.
