  • Hotel rates drop noticeably after Easter week.

What is happening on the island

King’s Day on April 27 paints the island orange with music, markets, and festivities — a great cultural day for visitors. Additionally, shoulder-season begins, so popular tours that sell out in February suddenly have space.

Our verdict

April is arguably the best value-to-weather ratio of the first half of the year. Book the second half of the month for the sweet spot. Compare every month in our best time to visit guide, browse hotel deals, and see top-rated tours before you book.
