Easter 2026: the best destinations to embrace summer early
Easter 2026 falls on April 5th, offering the perfect chance to escape to warm shores before summer truly arrives. As winter’s chill finally fades and spring sunshine starts to appear, thousands of travellers look for destinations promising sun, sea, and blissful temperatures. The Easter break, stretching from April 2nd to 7th for most Italians, is the ideal moment to discover places that blend relaxation, adventure, and authenticity. Here are the most inspiring options for a warm and unforgettable Easter 2026, where you can embrace the spirit of exotic travel without the crowds of summer.
Cape Verde and Zanzibar: paradises of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans
If you dream of an Easter 2026 where the sea takes centre stage, Cape Verde is one of Africa’s most enchanting choices. This volcanic archipelago, about 500 kilometres off the coast of Senegal, boasts pristine white beaches, turquoise waters, and a genuine atmosphere where mass tourism hasn’t yet arrived. April is the ideal time to explore Zanzibar and the Cape Verde Islands: temperatures hover around a comfortable 25–26°C, humidity is low, and rain is rare. On the island of Sal, minerals from ancient salt pans transform the sea into a tapestry of unique turquoise shades. Travelling with kids to Cape Verde is welcoming, safe, accessible, and rich with diversity. Quiet beaches, cultural excursions, and water sports for all ages await. Be sure to visit the Pedra de Lume salt pans, marvel at the Blue Eye of Buracona, and wander vibrant local markets brimming with traditional crafts.
Madagascar: a miniature continent and a sanctuary of biodiversity
To explore Madagascar’s beaches at Easter 2026 is to immerse yourself in one of Earth’s last unspoiled paradises. Nosy Be, the Island of Perfume, unveils a dreamscape of 20 kilometres of untouched coastline, dazzling coral reefs, and unmatched biodiversity. April brings perfect weather, with warm, crystal-clear waters ideal for snorkelling and diving. Madagascar’s shores guard extraordinary underwater treasures: vibrant coral gardens, majestic manta rays, gentle sea turtles, and even the elusive whale shark. It’s the perfect season to visit the Lokobe Strict Nature Reserve, stroll the dazzling sands of Nosy Iranja, and discover the wonders of this unique world.
