The best time to travel to Barbados is between November and May. Barbados experiences excellent weather, and the island's shops and restaurants are open year-round.
The official high season is mid-December to mid-April. However, the average temperatures are between 26°C (79°F) in January and 29°C (84°F) in August, so there is very little difference.
The winter generally experiences slightly cooler weather and less humidity than the summer, which can experience occasional heavy showers. However, the rain never stays out for long, and the sun is almost always close.
There is no wrong time to travel to Barbados. It is the most easterly of the Caribbean islands and has less risk of hurricanes than any other island.
If you are happy with the slightly increased humidity of the summer, the rates in the villas are significantly less, and it is, therefore, a great time to travel to take advantage of value for money.
