Where's hot in Europe in April?
If you're keen to stick closer to home for your April escape, you're in luck. Spain has several balmy locales to choose between (including stunning Seville). Or you could hop across the Med to Greece to explore Athens in the spring sunshine.
1. Athens, Greece
- Average temperature in April: 16°C
You can’t really go wrong with visiting Greece at any time of year. The country is a hot spot for incredible trips away (especially beach breaks) and, of course, has very favourable weather for most of the year. But where is hot in Greece in April? Heading to its magnificent capital of Athens is always a safe bet.
Spend your days stepping back in time at various ancient sites like the Acropolis and the Temple of Athena. Temperatures are perfect for exploring the ruins, with average highs sitting at a comfy 19°C. You might experience the odd rain shower in April. If that does happen, simply take shelter in one of the city's fantastic museums. My favourite is the treasure trove that is the National Archaeological Museum.
2. Palma de Mallorca, Spain
- Average temperature in April: 15°C
It is a well-known fact that the Balearic Islands can get pretty hot, making them pretty much an all-year-round sun destination. April is a lovely month to visit, though, thanks to fewer crowds and less intense temperatures in the mid to high teens.
If you're a fan of hiking and enjoying delicious local meals al fresco with ocean views, Mallorca is one of the best islands to visit. It's well-known for its golden beaches and pretty seaside cities like Palma de Mallorca. It's brimming with traditional dining spots where you can enjoy seafood with local wines.
Speaking of wine, why not venture into the island's interiors to sample some at local bodegas? Alternatively, you can enjoy a wine tour in the city's picturesque Old Town.
Mallorca's undulating hills and sea breezes attract cyclists and hikers alike. This is especially true in April when milder temperatures make exploring its jaw-dropping landscapes much more pleasant. If you want to avoid the school holiday crowds, visit later in April once the summer term has started.
3. Seville, Spain
- Average temperature in April: 16°C
Wondering where is hot in April in Spain? The Andalusian city of Seville is a brilliant spot for a spring getaway. It is a stunning destination with impressive architecture, delicious tapas and heaps of flamenco bars.
There’s no better time to appreciate just how beautiful this city is than under the warm April sun and with considerably less crowds than in the summer months. You might encounter a tiny bit of rain during your trip - but that shouldn't deter you from taking a trip to Seville.
Temperatures can comfortably reach the low 20s, so you're bound to have a few sunny days where you can dine alfresco and stroll the gorgeous gardens of the Real Alcázar.
Where's hot in April around the rest of the world
While things are definitely warming up in Europe, countries south of the equator will be cooling down. Still, that shouldn't stop you from exploring Africa and Southeast Asia, as some parts will still be very warm in April.
4. Marrakech, Morocco
- Average temperature in April: 17°C
If you're looking for where is hot in April with a shorter flight, Marrakech fits the bill. This vibrant Moroccan city is a brilliant place to visit in spring for history, culture and fantastic shopping opportunities in local bazaars. Temperatures on the warmest days can easily exceed 23°C, making it a fantastic destination for a sunny break, too.
A little bit of rain can be expected. The upside of this, though, is that it makes the city's gardens lush with spring blooms, including the elegant grounds of Koutoubia Mosque. Additionally, you'll likely still find flights and accommodation much cheaper compared to summer — which is all the more reason to book a break to Marrakech in April.
5. Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Average temperature in April: 30°C
If it's heat you're craving in April, there's no better corner of the world to head for than Southeast Asia. Specifically, Vietnam which is right at the end of its high season during this month. Temperatures often climb into the 30s but there's still just a low chance of rain, especially if you choose to explore its capital.
Ho Chi Minh City is a great city in its own right but also a popular spot to begin a larger tour of the entire country. Many of its attractions relate to the Vietnam War, including the moving War Remnants Museum. You could also barter for cheap souvenirs at historic Ben Thanh Market. And if the heat starts to get to you? There's plenty of cool coffee shops and bars to dip into for an ice cold drink. Don't forget to try a banh mi (or three), either. These delicious sandwiches hail from HCMC and you'll find lots of places where you can sample the real deal.
6. Koh Samui, Thailand
- Average temperature in April: 29°C
Do you want to know where is hot in April (and I mean really, really hot)? Thailand is a sure-fire destination for some heat in April! If you haven't explored this magical part of the world before, the island of Koh Samui is an amazing place to start. Easily one of the most beautiful islands in Asia, it has white sandy beaches, incredible hiking trails, delicious street food markets and mesmerising turquoise waters.
Make sure you visit Ang Thong National Marine Park on a snorkelling tour or boat cruise. It's scattered with tiny uninhabited islands that were once havens for pirates. April is a busy month to visit Koh Samui thanks to the wonderful weather, so it's a good idea to book as early as possible (particularly if you're looking at the Easter holidays).
7. Dubai, UAE
- Average temperature in April: 26°C
Want to visit a hot destination in April 2025 that will inject a bit of glitter and glamour into your travel plans? It would be silly to not include the UAE somewhere on this list. After all, it is one of the hottest countries you can visit in April.
Dubai certainly lives up to its reputation as a luxurious getaway destination. There are so many amazing things to do here, including several soft sand beaches to visit. Needless to say, you can expect plenty of heat if you decide to hit the beach. Or why not venture inland to the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve to glimpse all kinds of native flora and fauna
This UAE gem sees temperatures as high as 31°C in April. Make sure you pack your sun cream and drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated on your trip if you do decide to add it to your April agenda.
8. Singapore
- Average temperature in April: 28°C
Now, Singapore does experience some rain in April but hear me out before you cross it off your list. Thanks to its tropical climate, Singapore doesn't just experience rain. It experiences majestic, hot and humid thunderstorms that wash over you unexpectedly and feel refreshing in the city's high humidity. There really isn't anything else quite like it.
The temperature and humidity are sweltering most days in April, with temperatures often above 30°C. You can spend hours, both day and night, swimming in an outdoor pool without feeling chilly. Plus, everywhere — from shops to museums — are usually air-conditioned if you need some respite. Visiting Singapore truly is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, whether you're craving a little heat or some of the best food in Asia at one of the city's famous hawker street food markets.
9. Honolulu, Hawaii
- Average temperature in April: 25°C
If you're keen to getaway somewhere hot in April in the USA, it's hard to beat Hawaii. The idyllic island state sees some of the month's warmest temperatures — with average highs hitting the late 20s most days.
Hawaii's capital, Honolulu, is a brilliant place for a sunny getaway. As well as being surrounded by great beaches and fantastic hiking trails, the city is also brimming with delicious dining spots where you can sample all kinds of fresh seafood. Another reason to add this tropical paradise to your April agenda is the fact its humpback whale migrating season.
Top tip: April usually falls just after the USA's spring break, so you can expect Honolulu to be relatively quiet. To make sure you really miss the crowds (and the Easter holiday flight hikes), book your trip at the end of the month.
10. San Diego, USA
- Average temperature in April: 17°C
The Californian coast is a bucket list destination. What's more, the south of this great state is warm throughout most of the year. This includes the city of San Diego: a fantastic hot destination in April. Yes, it's a very long flight to San Diego, but it's worth the journey.
With the average April temperature at a very welcome 17°C, you could wander along South Mission Beach or up to the stunning Cabrillo National Monument. The city is also packed with numerous other attractions, from the immense Balboa Park to several outstanding art galleries and museums, including the USS Midway (perfect for history lovers).
