Explore the wonders of the Caribbean

The Caribbean is a year-round destination, but November to April is especially popular. During these winter months, temperatures average a warm 26°C with minimal rainfall, making it perfect for those who want sunshine without the risk of storms.

If you prefer hotter weather and fewer crowds, consider travelling in the summer. This period falls outside peak season, offering a more peaceful atmosphere and excellent value. While the winter months attract more visitors, they remain the best choice for travellers who want tropical heat alongside dry, calm conditions.

The Caribbean offers an endless choice of activities to suit every traveller. In islands with strong English heritage, such as Antigua and Barbados, cricket is a national passion – you can join a game or watch the action at grounds in St John’s and Bridgetown.

On St Lucia, dramatic mountains and lush rainforest create the perfect playground for adventure. Try zip-lining through the canopy, exploring rugged trails on a 4×4 safari, or horse riding along scenic paths.

For underwater exploration, Trinidad and Tobago ranks among the world’s top scuba diving destinations, with dazzling coral reefs, colourful marine life, and crystal-clear waters that feel straight out of an ocean documentary.

Every Caribbean island shares sunshine, beautiful beaches, and flavour-packed food – but each has its own distinct character. For pure beach bliss, Antigua offers 365 stunning stretches of sand, from lively Half Moon Bay to quiet Rendezvous Bay. Families will love Barbados for its calm, shallow waters, wildlife reserve, and activities like surfing and off-road safaris. Couples seeking romance can escape to St Lucia, combining luxury resorts and secluded beaches with adventures like zip-lining and hot springs.

If variety is your style, Grenada delivers with seven islands to explore – from rainforest hikes and waterfalls to Carriacou’s pristine reefs and Petite Martinique’s offline tranquillity. For culture, Cuba stands apart with its pastel streets, colonial architecture, vintage cars, and vibrant music scene, making it a perfect blend of history and Caribbean charm.
