Quite cheaply, in April 2021, you can fly to the South of Russia on a tour and on your own. It's already warm, everything is blooming - beauty! Of course, it is too early to open the swimming season on the Black Sea in April, but you don't have to swim in the sea. Walking along the shore, listening to the sound of the waves and breathing fresh air is enough.
Turkey - 13 300 rubles per person.
Is it possible to relax abroad for only 25 thousand rubles? Of course, there are good old Turkish resorts! This is one of the most inexpensive options for a seaside vacation in April 2021.
We were in Kemer and Alanya in June - the heat was unbearable. Therefore, we advise you to fly to Turkey in April, although this is not the time for a beach holiday. But there are no crowds of tourists, hotels and beaches are half-empty, prices are low and there is no stuffiness. Do you want to swim? Choose a hotel where the pool is heated.

Tunisia - 19,000 rubles / person
You can relax in Tunisia perfectly and relatively inexpensively, if swimming is not your priority - the water is still cool (+ 17 ° С). The weather is clear and warm without the exhausting heat and stuffiness. In the south of the country, during the day +23 ... + 24 ° С, at night + 15 ° С, in the north it is 2-3 degrees colder.

You can have an inexpensive vacation at the sea in April 2021 in Cyprus. Come by the end of the month: prices are low, few people, warm. The water is still cold, but the weather is perfect for sunbathing, walks by the sea and excursions.

Greece - 20,300 rubles per person
It is too early to swim in Greece at this time of the year - the water is not warm enough (about + 15 ° C). But you can breathe plenty of clean sea air, have time to enjoy the almost deserted beaches and visit the ancient ruins without crowds of tourists and queues! We rested in Rhodes in the summer and came to the conclusion that it is better not to meddle in Greece in such a heat - in the off-season it is more pleasant there! Find out where is the best vacation in Greece.
Thailand - 25,500 rubles / person
In April 2021, you can fly to Thailand for a relatively inexpensive vacation! Tours to expensive hotels are cheaper. We lived in Phuket in April and the first half of May and were satisfied with the rest: prices for hotels are falling, and there are much fewer people at the resorts.
April is a month of transition between high and low seasons. Not everyone is comfortable in such conditions: humidity rises, it rains more often, the sea is not always calm. However, you can relax on the beach, but it is better not to go on long excursions. Learn about Thailand's Springtime Holidays.

You can relax at sea in April 2021 in Vietnam: in Nha Trang +30 ... + 33 ° С, in Mui Ne and Fukuoka +33 ... + 35 ° С. Sea + 27 ° С and above. It rains, but it is extremely rare. Find out more about the weather in April.

Beach holiday in April 2021
Here are some of the more expensive destinations that are best for a beach holiday in April.
Maldives - 58,000 rubles per person
We rested in the Maldives in April on different local islands: Rasdhoo, Toddu and Ukulas. The weather was ideal for a beach holiday, snorkeling and excursions: in the daytime over + 30 ° C, complete calm and no precipitation, the sea was pleasantly cooled. In general, this is a transitional month, because in May the rainy season begins, and usually the weather is not so agreeable. There are waves and rains, but we are lucky.
Israel - 31,000 rubles / person
Israel is another good destination to take a seaside vacation in April 2021. Warm water on the Red Sea in Eilat and Ein Bokek at the Dead Sea.
Sri Lanka - 35,200 rubles per person
April is the last month before heavy rains in Sri Lanka. During the day it is very warm + 32 ° С, sea water + 30 ° С. The sky is often dark and it can rain in the evening. In April, it is better to relax on the sea east of the country (e.g. Trincomalee). Storms are frequent in Hikkaduwa, Benton and Unawatuna. Find out more about the weather in Sri Lanka.
We were in Sri Lanka in March and traveled half the country. The island is very colorful! We definitely advise you to go there. By the way, in April you will still have time to see the whales - they migrate off the coast of Mirissa. We went on a whale safari - it's impressive. Read How to See Whales in Sri Lanka.
Spain - 40,000 rubles / person
In Tenerife, the weather is excellent: on average + 24 ° С, humidity is low and there is almost no rain, it is sunny. Go south at the end of the month - there you can already sunbathe and even swim in the bays. Read helpful articles about Spain.
Bali - 50,000 rubles / person
Bali is not quite suitable for a beach holiday. First of all, this is culture and nature, excursions and outdoor activities. If it is the beaches that are important, choose Nusa Dua and Sanur - there are the least waves.
We also rested in Bali in April, but lived in Ubud and explored the north of the island. During the day it was hot and humid + 30 ° С, sometimes it rained - usually at night. Everything is as usual in SEA!
In April, it is good to have a rest by the sea in the UAE, Jordan, as well as in Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Cuba. Warm and sunny on exotic islands - Seychelles and the Philippines. But the European resorts of the Mediterranean will be ready for a beach holiday only in late May - early June.
