Distant shores - Cuba, Maldives, Seychelles.

These and other Latin American countries. They will also delight you with their warmth. But their disadvantage is that the flight takes almost a day.

On the beaches of the Maldives you can rent jet skis, boats, speedboats and other entertainment. You will have fun, and when you get tired of lying on the beach, you can visit the mountains and explore the entire Caribbean from their heights.

A fairly large number of people prefer to go on vacation in the summer, since during this period they can organize the best quality vacation. But it is in the summer that it is most difficult to take a vacation - for the same reason, many employees are absent from work. However, you can act more wisely and go on a trip abroad, organizing a quality beach holiday for yourself in April or even March.

The best place where you can go in April is the African continent, and in particular its northern coast.

In Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia, at this moment the air temperature is just beginning to rise - this means that the sun will still be gentle and not scorching, and the water in the Mediterranean Sea will already warm up enough for you to swim in it. In addition, it is during this period in Tunisia that you can take advantage of the lowest prices for the entire holiday season in this country.

Tunisia

In all of Africa, Tunisia has the most tranquil environment, which will give you the opportunity to come here on vacation with minor children. In addition, there are luxury hotels in Tunisia in which you receive not only a full range of services on site, but also large-scale excursions throughout the country, which is an advantageous difference from Egypt and Turkey.

The calm sea in March and April attracts many divers here who are eager to explore all the secrets of the African coast and find the legendary treasures that, according to rumors, have been accumulating at the bottom since the times of Carthage.

For those who prefer a regular beach holiday, there is also a place in Tunisia - in the spring, the local resorts are barely half full, which allows you to enjoy solitude and boundless tranquility.

Egypt

Egypt has a slightly different character - this country has been focused on tourism and recreation for a very long time and is popular all over the world. Therefore, here you will find an excellent beach holiday with all possible amenities, but a large number of hotels, and several large tourist excursion routes.

However, only a few cities here have historical value, as well as ancient monuments - temples and pyramids. Therefore, you should not count on long independent travel, but from Egypt you can travel or go by sea to other large resorts located in Cyprus, Tunisia, Morocco, Spain and Italy.

Morocco

Those who want to find real exoticism, which cannot be seen either in Egypt or in Tunisia, should go on vacation to the Atlantic coast of Morocco. In March and April, quite a lot of Europeans come here on vacation, as the water temperature can rise to 22-24 degrees by mid-spring.

Among the advantages of the country are very high-quality beach holidays, as well as national flavor, which is not accompanied by traditional restrictions for Muslim countries. There is also plenty to do here - history buffs will find ancient cities, and connoisseurs of a modern lifestyle will find luxurious casinos, discos, bars and restaurants.

Asian beaches

If you don’t want to be satisfied with half measures and want to get into real summer in order to ensure the best quality beach holiday in April, you should go to Asia, where the holiday season has not yet ended at this time of year.

Thailand

If you can't decide where to go in March or April, choose Thailand, which combines top-class beach holidays and many active leisure opportunities.

It should be noted that many entertainments are available in this country, including quite risky ones - so those who like to take everything from life will be able to have a good time there.

India

The Indian resort of Goa is also quite popular, the conditions of which are very similar to holidays in Tunisia - here you receive the highest class service, which gives you the opportunity to enjoy your vacation without thinking about any problems.

In addition, there are places to go in India - you can choose the mountainous regions of the north with their ancient temples and caves, the central part, where the largest monuments are located, including the Taj Mahal, as well as the southern coast, where beach holidays are very well developed.

March and April are the peak season here, so you'll be able to swim in the warm, gentle waters without any problems, but you'll have to deal with high prices and high hotel occupancy.

China

Those who want to plunge headlong into oriental exoticism are recommended to go on vacation to Hainan Island, which is part of China. Here, in April, the best weather also sets in, which makes it possible to ensure an excellent holiday - both on the beach and on active trips.

As in Tunisia and Morocco, here you can find a national flavor unique to China, but without encountering any cultural restrictions. On the contrary, if you get bored and don’t know where to go, you will be kindly invited to visit the Tea Festival, which is one of the best means of displaying the characteristics of Chinese culture.

UAE

If you want to go to the warm sea in March-April, but you are not ready to cross half the globe, then the United Arab Emirates will be an ideal option for you.

A holiday here will appeal to everyone who loves a high level of service - as in Tunisia and Egypt, on the hotel premises you will receive the highest quality service. In addition, in March and April, not only beach holidays are available here, but also shopping - for example, Dubai is one of the world's largest trade centers, where tourists from all over the world go for bargains.

Exotic islands

Maldives

The Maldives, which receive visitors not only in April and March, but almost all year round, can offer maximum privacy and a romantic atmosphere for couples in love.

Thanks to the extraordinary setting here, you will get the best holiday you could ever dream of. You will have such unusual options as:

hotel room on stilts;
renting an entire coral atoll;
a hut in the rainforest with all the amenities of civilization.

In addition, if you get bored of solitude, you will have somewhere to go - on some islands there are small towns where you can find plenty of bars, restaurants and nightclubs open in April and all months of the holiday season.

Canaries

There are also more exotic options - for example, in April you will find a very good beach holiday in the Canary Islands of Spain. Of course, this resort has long been favored by visitors from all over the world, so you need to be prepared for a large number of people.

In addition, it’s worth coming here to relax if you really like to have a chic nightlife with all its advantages. You can come here in March, when the influx of tourists is not yet so great, but the weather will still be cool enough for swimming.

March, as the first month of spring, is usually cold and frosty. People who have a vacation during this time are lucky. Go when the weather warms up and you can enjoy your seaside holiday before everyone else.

Holidays in March are expensive, but if possible, you should go

Traveling at this time of year is quite expensive, but if you have the opportunity, you should take it.

Before looking for a tour for 2019, you need to explore your options in terms of cost, weather conditions and the need for a visa.

When thinking about where to go for a beach holiday, you should immediately exclude the Mediterranean. When planning a trip abroad, such familiar countries as Turkey, Italy, Greece or Cyprus will have to be excluded. At this time of year it is still cold, and the water does not warm up to the required temperature.

You can fly to other countries with a subtropical climate with full confidence that the sea will be warm.

A flight for Russian citizens will be quite expensive, but given that the main beach season in most countries is in January, finding a last-minute tour is quite possible.

The most pleasant holiday near the sea at this time is on, since the air temperature is almost equal to the water temperature. Rest on almost the same level. In Israel, in March you can only swim in Eilat.
