Easter Vacations: The Best Destinations for Easter Getaways
One of the most popular times of the year for travel, Easter is just around the corner and offers your annual opportunity to get more vacation for less annual leave.
In 2025, Good Friday falls on 18 April, while Easter Monday is on 21 April. And, if you plan your trip right, you can save your precious time off work while still enjoying a decent amount of time on vacation. No matter which type of trip you're looking for, the long Easter weekend is a great time to head off on an adventure.
With more time to work with, many Easter getaway destinations are available to you - from city breaks in Europe to family vacations further afield in northern Africa or even South America. Easter is also an ideal time to take a staycation and explore exciting destinations closer to home. Start planning your Easter break.
Getting the most out of your Easter vacation
While it may seem obvious that you should only travel during the Easter break itself, when you decide to leave actually has a large impact - especially when it comes to the vacation's cost. Here are some Easter vacation hacks that will help to keep costs down, whether you're traveling with kids in tow or going on an adults-only vacation.
An Easter vacation with kids
Most people with kids are desperate to get away during the first few days of the Easter school break. In 2025, most schools will be breaking up around 17 April, so you should probably avoid these initial dates, as the prices will most likely be quite high.
If you do have kids, also try to avoid Good Friday and Easter Monday as travel dates; this is when travelers without children will be booking up, so prices will be steeper, too.
An adults-only Easter vacation
As most kids go back to school on 22 April, try and book a trip that ends after that date that will include the Easter bank vacations, too. Prices will be lower, as kids will be back at school, but you’ll also use less annual leave for your Easter getaway. Sneaky but smart!
Where's hot at Easter?
Want to jump-start your summer vacation with a beach getaway somewhere warm this Easter? Luckily, this is exactly when some destinations are starting to warm up, which means that an Easter vacation in the sun is definitely on the cards.

One of the most popular destinations for a fun-filled family vacation is Florida. It also happens to be one of the closest destinations you can choose (shorter flight = more time on the beach). And, with so many amusement parks, you're guaranteed a family vacation that's free of boredom!

No matter where you choose, you'll also have great conditions for swimming, where the water temperature is a balmy 78ºF.

If northern Africa is calling your name, then you may be able to tick off a truly bucket-list destination by heading straight to Egypt.
