Made up of four main islands, the BVI – as they’re often referred to – are famous for their idyllic, reef-lined beaches. Rainy season in much of the Caribbean usually begins around June, so April is a great time to get away for the BVI.

For example, you could visit Poco Do Fogo an active stratovolcano that and the country’s highest peak or relax at any of the gorgeous beaches that are dotted around the destination.

As the jewel of the Indian Ocean, Seychelles is on the bucket list for many travellers seeking pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters. There’s little fluctuation in temperatures during the year here, but the spring months are perhaps a degree or two higher than most. It can be a little wet at this time – and reasonably humid, but rainfall is certainly on the decrease with that trend continuing well into the summer.
With 115 islands across the country, there’s plenty of choice when it comes to finding places to stay and explore. This island nation is a melting pot of cultures, and you’ll have no difficulty immersing yourself in local life, especially if you visit the main islands of Mahé, La Digue and Praslin where you’ll experience the best of Creole and Seychellois culture.
As well as benefitting from a wide range of cultural influences, Seychelles is home to a widely biodiverse range of exotic wildlife, such as giant Aldabra tortoises and Warbler birds. If you really want to see the wildlife, you might fancy a stay on Bird Island, where you can stay in a private resort made up of 24 bungalows.
Las Vegas

- Rainy days: 3
- Flight Time: 10 hours 30 mins
The Nevada Desert is home to both Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon, both are high on the list of many travellers and popular with those looking for warm us destinations in April.
Although it may not be for everyone, there’s no argument that Las Vegas is a destination like no other – this is a city that’s open 24/7 for anyone looking to party. To think of this Vegas as a place just for gambling would be an oversight as it has quickly become the Entertainment Capital of the World and has plenty to offer visitors in and out of the casinos.
Meanwhile, the Grand Canyon National Park, which is actually in Arizona, boasts millions of years worth of geological history – but you don’t have to be a rock expert to marvel at its beauty.
