What is the best time to go to the Caribbean

The best time to spend a holiday on one of the islands and archipelagos of the Caribbean Sea is winter

Il periodo migliore per trascorrere una vacanza in una delle isole e degli arcipelaghi del Mar dei Caraibi è l’inverno. Come ricorda il Colonnello Mario Giuliacci, nel periodo invernale in questa zona dell’Equatore non ci sono terribili uragani e non ci sono piogge perché qui è la stagione secca.

Furthermore, the temperatures are very pleasant, around 27 ° C, with a very weak variation between day and night and, above all, the temperatures are pleasant not only in the air but also in the water, which encourages you to take pleasant baths.

In particular, the most recommended months are January and February, but the entire winter season is perfect for enjoying a warm holiday.

It is also the period chosen by those who love to spend holidays on a sailing boat because in the Caribbean in this period the trade winds, the winds that come from the North-East, constantly blow, which would not be possible in the Mediterranean Sea because in winter here the winds are very variable.

But which are the best islands in the Caribbean, where you can find white beaches, crystal clear waters and postcard sunsets? In the autumn of 2017, some terrible hurricanes swept away some of the most famous Caribbean islands, islands that are only now slowly recovering. These include Barbuda, St. Martin, Saint-Barthélemy, Anguilla and some of the British Virgin Islands. With Harvey, Irma, Maria and Ophelia, 2017 was the record year for Atlantic hurricanes.

According to TripAdvisor, the best Caribbean destination of 2018 is Jamaica, which won the Best Destinations in the Caribbean award. The island, which gave birth to legends such as Bob Marley, Usain Bolt, Shaggy and fictional characters such as James Bond, is considered the perfect destination in which to combine sun, sea, culture, gastronomy, nature and relaxation.

Those looking for postcard beaches can find some of the most beautiful in the world among the Caribbean archipelagos, such as Bavaro Beach in the Dominican Republic, Seven Mile Beach in Jamaica, Eagle Beach in Aruba, Varadero Beach in Cuba and Grace Bay , in the Turks and Caicos archipelago, considered the most beautiful in the world.

But again according to TripAdvisor, the best deals in the Caribbean are found in the low season, so much so that among the islands to absolutely go to, it recommends Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Antigua, the Bahamas and Barbados, but not in January or February, but in May, the period in which it costs least to go there.
