Andalusia, Spain
Orange blossom filling the air, warm days, and Andalusia in full celebration. Experience Seville’s Feria de Abril with exclusive access to a private family caseta, the most authentic way to dance, dine, and drink like a local at this lively annual festival. Weave Seville into a wider trip exploring the story of Al-Andalus: Córdoba’s arches glowing gold at dusk, the magnificent Alhambra rising above Granada, and whitewashed villages scattered across rolling countryside. Southern Spain in April is pure magic - culture, colour, and sunshine in perfect balance.
Bhutan
Festivals, wildflowers, and Himalayan calm. Wander between fluttering prayer flags, witness ancient masked dances at Tshechu celebrations, and hike pristine mountain trails lined with rhododendrons in bloom. Private guides reveal the Tiger monastery clinging to a cliff, vast valleys, and a spiritual culture untouched by time. Stay in intimate luxury lodges where hot stone baths and panoramic terraces reward the day’s adventures. Bhutan in April is the kingdom at its most alive — soulful, scenic, and deeply uplifting.
Nepal
Before the monsoon arrives, Nepal is clear, bright, and full of possibility. Explore Kathmandu’s heritage sites with expert storytellers, and witness the vibrant energy of Bisket Jatra in Bhaktapur — lively street dances, parades, and celebrations marking the Nepali New Year. Then take to the trails: gentle scenic hikes or multi-day treks with Himalayan views sharp enough to stop you in your tracks. Head south to Chitwan or Bardia for wildlife sightings; rhino, elephants and maybe even tigers, all from stylish safari lodges. April blends culture, adventure, and nature at its most breathtaking.
Sicily
Before the summer crowds descend, Sicily shines bright. Taste your way through Palermo’s abundant fresh-food markets, then venture south to the baroque towns of Noto and Modica. Explore the impressive ancient ruins of Agrigento, trek across the rugged slopes of Mount Etna, sip minerally white wines, and unwind in boutique villas or rustic farmhouse hideaways.
Have a little more time? Go west to discover salt flats, the striking Greek ruins of Selinunte, secluded beaches, and sleepy fishing villages. April is the sweet spot: cooler days, vibrant flavours, and Sicily at its most authentic.

Provence, France
Spring in Provence feels like a secret for those in the know. Lavender begins to stir, terraces reopen, and rosé returns to the table. Wander Arles’ Roman amphitheatre with an expert guide, pause by the fountains of Aix-en-Provence, and explore the honey-hued beauty of Gordes, perched proudly over the Luberon. Farmers’ markets brim with early produce, vineyard doors swing open for relaxed tastings, and boutique farmhouse retreats offer sun-drenched tranquillity among olive groves. Soft light, quiet roads, and understated luxury in the French countryside — Provence in April is an invitation to slow down beautifully.

Alpine Spring
Fresh mountain air, glassy lakes, and meadows bright with wildflowers. April in the Swiss and Austrian Alps brings long hikes along peaceful trails, panoramic trains through cinematic valleys, mountain-to-table dining, and the space to explore fairy-tale towns before the summer crowds arrive. Ascend Mount Rigi for sweeping views of Lake Lucerne, and in Austria’s Wachau Valley, wander terraced vineyards and riverside castles between scenic hikes. Crisp days, tranquil trails — spring in the Alps is pure, unhurried beauty.
