We are looking at holidays for easter 2019 but are struggling to find anywhere which will be hot but not more than a 7 hr flight. Where would you suggest please?

We went to Dubai this year which was amazing but don't want to spend £6k again. The year before we went to koz and although the weather was hot the pool was freezing.

So looking for an all inclusive or half board, with plenty for 4 and 6 year old to do with pools, beaches, easy access to places.

Back to DR I’d say
I’m back there this Feb & can’t wait!
That injection of sun is worth the flight

Egypt will be abou 30 degrees at Easter and proving very cheap!

Booked a Feb half term holiday for five people - 2 rooms. 5 star and AI and cost only £3,000.

Canaries are hot (think our summer at the moment) during April. Evenings cooler and weather less reliable than Egypt (Hurghada)

Banging- wow that's cheap. Which hotel was it? Still not sure as want to do excursions now the children are slightly older but need to it be super safe.

Wish I could book DR again but it was a special holiday for DHs 40th so not got the budget for it next year.

April 5th is when ds breaks up next year. I really want somewhere where it's warm enough to go in the sea and pool. Ds did snorkelling and body boarding for the first time this holiday after not really liking the sea. I think he ll only go in if it's lovely and warm. When we went to Koz the pool was so cold the dcs wouldn't go in at all and it made entertaining them for the week hard work.

2 dc’s as well and we take our main holiday at Easter each year, and like some decent sun and heat,
Basically to guarantee this on a max 7/8 hr flight, you need to go east , as you did, ie Dubai or west to the Caribbean. Due to prices we usually end up in Dubai. As mentioned the only other place worth a mention is Egypt...but that’s a no for us.
As Easter is a bit later next year , you could “risk” the other places mentioned. We did one year when Easter was late and went to the Algarve and had some pleasant days, but you are chancing it.
You can do UAE for less than 6k at Easter...so many flights/ choices, but need to book early.

Easter is late in 2019 so you could definitely chance closer to home. We were in Sicily for 4 days in early April this year and it was glorious. Malta was too. The sea will still be cold that's the thing and you will need heated pools.

Ripple- where did you stay for less than £6k. That price includes food as I find hotels only been to do half board. When we went last year the food was so expensive we spent loads over our budget. Don't want to make the same mistake again
