For a shorter flight, choose Seville or Valencia

Seville gives you the joint-highest daytime temperature, 22°C, with a flight time of 2 h 42 min. It suits travellers who want warmth without spending so long in the air, but nights fall to 11°C and April has 7 rainy days, so pack a jacket and leave room for wet-weather plans. Valencia has a shorter flight at 2 h 24 min and a daytime high of 21°C, though its 15°C sea makes it a poor choice for swimming-led holidays. Albufeira offers similar daytime warmth with a 2 h 54 min flight, but its 16°C sea and 7 rainy days favour time outdoors between showers rather than a holiday built around getting in the water.

For less rain and milder evenings, favour the Canaries

Gran Canaria is the clearest fit if daytime warmth and comfortable evenings matter equally: highs reach 22°C and nights stay at 17°C, with 4 rainy days. The trade-off against Seville is a longer flight of 4 h 24 min. La Gomera is slightly cooler by day at 21°C, but its 18°C nights, 20°C sea and 2 rainy days make it appealing if you dislike chilly evenings. Tenerife shares that 20°C sea temperature, though it has 5 rainy days. For the fewest rainy days among these leading choices, favour Fuerteventura: it has 1, alongside 20°C days and a 19°C sea. These are better choices for avoiding rain than finding genuinely warm swimming water.

For Cyprus, weigh warmer days against longer flights

Limassol matches the leading daytime high of 22°C, with 4 rainy days, making it a sensible choice if warmth matters more than flight time. Its 4 h 48 min flight is longer than the Canary options listed, while the sea is cooler at 18°C. Ayia Napa trades a little daytime warmth for fewer rainy days: 21°C and 3 respectively, with the same sea temperature and flight time. Crete suits travellers happy with mild days rather than warm water, pairing 21°C highs with a 17°C sea and 6 rainy days. Fethiye is harder to favour on weather alone: its 20°C days come with 9 rainy days and 10°C nights, so waterproofs and evening layers deserve luggage space.
