Meloneras Weather in April
April in Meloneras is spring at its most convincing. Temperatures reach 21°C, rainfall shrinks to virtually nothing — just 5mm across a single day — and the resort shifts into its spring season. The 5-star hotels open their terraces, the beach fills with guests on early holidays, and the promenade restaurants begin operating at evening capacity. Easter brings a notable influx of visitors to the south coast. Meloneras, as the premium destination in the area, attracts families and couples who want the warmth and beach access of the south coast with a quieter, more refined environment than Playa del Inglés. The combination of April weather and luxury resort facilities is particularly compelling.

How warm is the sea in Meloneras in April?+
The sea off Meloneras beach is 19°C in April — cool but accessible.
