When in the Best Time to Travel in St. Lucia?


Tropic weather, breath-taking beaches, wildlife and rainforests make St. Lucia a year round destination for tourists. However, it is also important for travelers to take into consideration the advantages and disadvantages of visiting the country in each month of the year. Mid- December to mid- April is the time where tourists choose to set their trip on St. Lucia when rainy summer climate welcomes them. In the month of May when St. Lucia holds one of the top five Jazz festivals in the world, low rates on the best hotels are offered. The country’s low season is between mid- April to early December. 

December to April.  This mean higher airfares and accommodation prizes. But it is also the time when festivities are all around. Frigid weather drives travelers at St. Lucia at this time of the year. 

May to June. These are the months when everyone is prescribed to visit St. Lucia. The approaching summer feeling makes this time perfect for weddings. Those planning to make hotel reservations should do it few months in advance to secure your stay. Popular accommodation sites like Bay Gardens Beach Resort offers low rates on their rooms any of these months. 

July to November. This is considered to be the “off season” because of the large amount of rainfall. Along with the rain and increased temperature, it is also the time when hurricanes are dropping by. Here, restaurants tend to close for weeks and hotels will take this time for repair purposes. 
On the other hand, this season compels visit from travelers who are avoiding crowded amenities and lower prices on reservations. This is also a time for festivals. At the end of June, St. Lucian carnival will be opened which will be colored by drum competitions and street dancing. 

With regards to climate, St. Lucia enjoys warm and sunny climate throughout the year. No drastic seasonal changes can be experienced in the island. Rainy season runs through the month of May till the end months of the year while everyone can enjoy dry season during January to April. Keep track on hurricanes throughout the end of August up to October. 

Many events and festivals cover up St. Lucia during the slow season. There’s St. Lucia Jazz Festival in mid- May, Creole Heritage Month in October to celebrate Creole influence in St. Lucian culture, and the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers, the world's largest yacht race held during the high season. 

Planning your vacation in St. Lucia in any time of the year, any type of climate and costs on accommodation rates will definitely turn out the best if you’ll have the enough background about the country. Travelling is always the nicest thing to do on a vacation.
