The best time to visit Barbados

Barbados is known for its relaxed atmosphere, beautiful beaches, and dramatic natural wonders such as Harrison's Cave.

It is helpful to know when to visit this paradise island if you are planning a vacation there. Barbados is best visited between mid-December and mid-April when the weather is dry. There will be less rain, and temperatures will hover around 30 degrees Celsius.

Barbados, thankfully, is one of those islands that can be visited at any time of year. Even during the rainy season, the sun often shines. Booking your trip in August, for example, can help you get more bang for your buck by allowing you to arrive on the island just in time for the annual Kadooment Day, which concludes the Crop Over Festival. This is ideal if you are seeking a relaxing environment with some quality entertainment. You might even see Rihanna, the world's richest female musician, who happens to be from Barbados!
