Good weather, sandy beaches and good value for money can feel difficult to find when booking a holiday abroad.
With the Easter holidays approaching in March, many will be seeking sun and affordability.
Fortunately, it is possible to find destinations that fit the bill – and Travel Supermarket’s latest research reveals exactly where.
It names four spots that are both hot – with temperatures over 20°C – and on a budget, all under £800 per person.
Holidaymakers can find a good-value getaway away in locations across Spain, Portugal and Morocco.
Algarve, in Portugal, proved to be both affordable and hot in Travel Supermarket’s research and prices at £520 per person
Algarve, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and Agadir all come under the £800 per person price range and hit the ‘sweet spot’ of also boasting warm temperatures.
Located in Portugal’s southernmost region, the Algarve is a perfect spot to catch some sun without splashing the cash over Easter.
The average price per person works out at £520 per person and the coastal destination has average highs of 21°C in March.
Lanzarote offers slightly warmer temperatures of 23°C and works out at just £200 more than the Algarve.
The research shows holidaymakers can bag trips there for around £758 per person.
Over in Morocco, Agadir closely follows in price and temperature at £765 per person and highs of 24°C over Easter.
While Fuerteventura comes in at £800 per person on average with highs of 22°C.
‘For families with the Easter holidays starting in March, temperature really does matter – nobody wants to book a beach holiday and end up reaching for a jumper,’ says Chris Webber, head of holidays and deals at TravelSupermarket.
‘These four destinations are the ones where the maths works on both fronts. The Algarve in particular is a standout – it’s the most affordable option and still comfortably clears the 20°C mark, which for late March is genuinely impressive.’
Elsewhere, Fuerteventura comes in at £800 per person on average with highs of 22°C
For those who want to save even more money and don’t mind cooler temperatures, there are destinations that can provide just that for around £500.
Menorca sees temperatures of 15°C on average in March but costs just £436 per person.
Elsewhere, Costa Dorada is almost as warm as the ‘sweet spot’ locations and is 19°C, priced at around £472.
Or if money isn’t too much of a concern when booking a trip, there are even warmer temperatures at some pricier destinations.
Tenerife comes in at £839 but boasts balmy highs of 21°C, while it’s Balearics neighbour Gran Canaria costs £876 and averages at 22°C.
Elsewhere, Marrakech sees very warm temperatures of 25°C and is priced at £819 per person.
