Enjoying a hot tropical climate with two distinct seasons, Barbados peak season corresponds with their dry season. Little rain falls during this period between February and April, though as a tropical island the odd storm can never be ruled out. The wet season begins in May/June and runs through until November/December, but temperatures generally vary very little with average highs sitting just below 30°C and average lows in the mid to low 20s.
From the pristine shores of Sandy Lane to the water sports of Dover Beach, the reef-protected beaches of the south coast to the surfing hotspots near Bathsheba, holidays in Barbados wouldn’t be the same without some sea and sand.
Try the seafood at Oistin’s Fish Fry or Fish Pot and follow it with a taste of the island’s famous rum. If self-catering is preferred, why not rent a Barbados villa and try your own hand at some Caribbean cuisine.
Full of local markets, beautiful beaches, golf courses, and sights, holidays to Barbados can be as active or relaxed as you wish.
The humidity is highest between July and November which corresponds with the hurricane season, but rain is usually brief and followed by sunshine.
