Ahh, St. Barths. With an almost perfect Tropical climate all year-round, this place boasts of the best beaches in the world. Just one of the many unique islands in the Caribbean, St. Barths is the perfect vacation destination for tourists who want to avoid winter, rainy or even dry seasons in their own hometowns. With picturesque views of the beach and luxurious accomodations in villas, St. Barths is truly a magnificent place to make memories that last forever.
As mentioned, Tropical weather surrounds St. Barths all year-round, so any time of the year is best to visit. But for those of you who want to pick the best time of the year to vacation, here are some tips.
December to April are the High Seasons, as this is the time when beams of sunshine come out longer and there is little chance of rain. During this time, it is usually the most expensive time especially in Mid-December until January since this is regarded as the high season and many
hotels and villas usually ante up their prices. But if you really want a luxurious vacation, away from the stress of work or any problems that you may be facing and the dreadful winter cold for the people up North, then this the best time for you to visit.
In summer months, the humidity makes the air sticky and what tourists do is take a dip in the villa or hotel swimming pools or the beach. “There is usually more rainfall but it is so fleeting it amounts to very little precipitation and will not hinder any island fun.” (http://www.destination360.com/caribbean/st-barts/weather) May through November is the Rainy season but the most heavy rains hit in the month of September. During these months based on statistics, is where the hurricanes hit mostly, but this is not a common occurrence and if it
does happen, hurricanes pass by heavy but swift. The one good thing visiting during these times is that the prices of villas and other accomodations are very very low, ideal for the low-budget tourists. And not only hotels or villas, but restaurants that may be open during this time offer many great discounts.
To sum it all up, planning the trip is the ultimate key to traveling to St. Barths. Whether it be the rainy season, the dry months, the high priced season in December, or even the hurricane and rain-filled month of September, it all depends on the amount of effort and time of planning the perfect trip. Some prefer the luxury, some prefer the budget-friendly season, and some are spontaneous. So it also depends on the preferences of the people traveling. In any case, being in St. Barths is the best vacation anyone will ever have.
