As spring blooms and the days start getting longer, we start planning summer and all the fun that it entails. However, you don't need to wait until summer to escape on a fulfilling holiday. There are plenty of destinations boasting warm climates at this time of year, and the Easter holidays present the perfect chance to disappear to their sandy beaches and beautiful resorts.

With two bank holidays and the longer Easter break from school, why not try a family villa holiday to one of our favourite Mediterranean destinations where the temperatures are starting to rise, or maybe a little further afield to one of the Canary Islands, Morocco, Egypt or Florida.

James Villa Holidays, the UK's leading villa holiday specialist can help you find that perfect get away for all the family this Easter. We're talking about Holiday Resorts – a fantastic initiative that's becoming more and more popular with families looking for that ideal holiday with something for everyone, from tots to teens, and parents to grandparents.

Here's how it works. These purpose built, village-style resorts offer a welcoming, relaxed community vibe. Gated and secure, they offer added reassurance as well as the chance to socialise with other holidaymakers as little or as much as you please. You still get to enjoy all of the perks of your own villa – the private pool (hours of entertainment for the kids!) and the space and freedom to come, go and do as you please – but with a whole host of other activities and facilities right on the doorstep. We're talking kids' clubs for a variety of ages, sporting facilities, communal pools perfect for making friends, and not to forget mum and dad, many also have spas, golf courses bars and restaurants.

In fact, with all this on offer you'd be forgiven for not leaving the resort all holiday, but as they're wonderfully situated generally near to the coast, they're also the perfect base for fun-filled days at the local beaches, waterparks, markets and more – the world is your oyster!

What's more, there are over 55 Holiday Resorts to choose from across 21 fantastic destinations including the Algarve, Spain, Cyprus and Florida, plus we have some great offers for the Easter period, with prices based on two adults and two children sharing for 7 nights;
