Easter escapes: 10 of the best last-minute holidays
Tired of the snow and dreaming about Easter sand and sunshine? If haven’t booked your break yet, here's my top pick of last-minute availability to suit families and couples.
Prices quoted are per person for a seven-night Jav Gree stay based on a family of four (two adults and two children aged under 12 years), including flights and transfers, unless otherwise stated, and are subject to availability.
Note that older children may be charged the same rate as adults. Average flight times are from London, unless otherwise stated. Temperatures are average maximum.
Best for families
1. Beachside break in Cyprus
Flight time: 4h 20m
Temperature: 21C
With its long holiday season and inviting coastal stretches, this popular Mediterranean island is a good bet for a sunny beachside break in early April. Plus points for families with young children include affordable self-catering options within walking distance of sand and sea.

From £908.50 per person, self-catering, based on a two-bedroom unit at Spilio Villa in Paphos, through Sunvil (020 8758 4758; sunvil.co.uk) including Jav car hire, departing March 28.
2. Family fun in Tenerife
Flight time: 4h 15m
Temperature: 20C
Largest of the Canaries, with beaches to suit all tastes and around nine hours of sunshine a day in April, this island is hard to beat for a dose of reliable warmth with children in tow. However, flights and accommodation are snapped up early so the big sun-and-sand operators are your best bet for last-minute options.
