Our Picks for the Best Romantic Vacation in April
Ideas on Destinations & the Best Deals on a Romantic Vacation in April 2009
Through our own experiences, readers input and a little research, we've come up with our choices for some of the best places for a vacation in April, and a few ideas about spring honeymoons.
In many destinations, April is considered "shoulder" season, so the best April vacations don't have to be the most expensive.
Let's look at some options for your April getaway...
Paris
Paris in the spring - enough said! It's the stuff they write songs about. The City of Light is extra beautiful and romantic in April. The summer crowds haven't arrived yet, making a stroll down the Champs Elysees even more memorable.
Paris weather in April may give you a taste of both sun and showers, but expect temperatures to be reasonably mild, around 57 F (14 c). For more on a romantic Paris break this spring, see these hotel & air deals to Paris, and our page on a
romantic Paris vacation.
Hawaii
Hawaii is not just one of the best April vacations - we could include it just about year-round! This is a fine time to visit, as April weather in Hawaii usually means you can expect few if any storms, with temperatures turning a couple degrees warmer, and sunshine just about everywhere.
One Hawaiian Island we really love is
Kauai.
Find a nice little place to stay around Kapa'a on the east coast, and you're only an hour to the magnificent North Shore, or Poipu Beach and some great restaurants in the south. Avoid Easter weekend and you should do fine with availability at many Kauai hotels and resorts.

New Zealand
One of the prettiest sites we've ever seen in any of our travels has been autumn in New Zealand's South Island.
This is not a beach holiday, but April is a great time to experience the crisp New Zealand fall and it's fantastic foliage, along with crystal blue lakes, alpine scenery and lots of sheep!
A motoring holiday in New Zealand would make a fine romantic vacation in April. The clean air, uncrowded highways, quaint towns and friendly people will give you a vacation you'll remember for years.
