Getting exhausted doing research on this... We'd like to go away with our 20 month old before she hits 2 and we have to pay her airfare! This limits us to march/April and we went to go somewhere warm enough to swim... Ideally no more than 6-8 hours flight, for 7-10 days. Looking currently at Dubai & Canaries, but neither are filling us with much inspiration right now... Any tips or other ideas?? Thankyou!!
We took our then 20 month old to Sharm el Sheikh last year (Easter holiday) & had such an amazing time. She still talks about the swimming, beach etc. We stayed in a lovely hotel that had a really nice creche/babysitting services which she also loved, so we had a few afternoons to wander around the markets without toddler & pushchair. Highly recommend Egypt!
good luck with that. For my family we are struggling to find anything under ?4000!! But we are 5. Was def cheaper last year. Thompson, Thomas Cook, First Choice. Longwood all have Egypt. And Canaries although have heard weather not reliable in Canaries in March? And Turkey does not really open for beach holidays til mid April - if anyone can confirm that I'd be grateful!er

Canaries depends a lot on where you go regarding weather at this time of year. Islands like La Palma or La Gomera or North Tenerife will be coolish, but South Tenerife is guaranteed to be pleasant and warm - tho not really hot.


we lived there for years, and rent out our old house for holiday lets etc. you can see pics etc at

and happy to answer any questions. is completely off the beaten tourist track and a little gem.

We stayed at the Al Waha, Oman in March 2011. Amazing holiday with our 2.5 year old. Hotel had a kids club, soft play and fab pools. The food was delicious and as I was 32 weeks pregnant at the time I totally indulged. The weather was perfect, about 30 degrees.

just to update the thread (i'm missus fry :))

we have decided to book in here http://www.adrianhoteles.com/en/roca-nivaria/ a child friendly hotel in Tenerife, mainly because the flight is only 4.5 hours and because they accept younger children in the kids club - a lot of places we looked at would not accept under 4s...

jollymummy, that place looks really perfect though, will definitely take a look for our next trip!

thanks for all the tip offs, v helpful

    • My bird app just picked up swifts before I heard or saw them!  
    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
