How about a trip to Antigua and Barbuda

Antigua and Barbuda Jul

SummaryA Brief Summary

2 distinctly different, small tropical islands in the north east Caribbean. Antigua is a hilly island with multiple small sandy coves and a large number of white sand, palm tree-fringed beaches (officially 365 beaches… although we haven’t counted them all) and primarily higher-end hotels with a focus on relaxation, pampering and for those who want a little activity, maritime jaunts such as yachting and sailing.  There is a good hustle and bustle around St Johns, the island’s capital, with numerous bars and restaurants serving the usual fare including exceptional fish dishes!  Barbuda is a small, flat island with little in the way of significant amenities, but dominated by empty white sand beaches and turquoise seas. This island was however utterly annihilated by Hurricane Irma in 2017 and remains in the latter stages of rebuilding

WeatherAbout the Weather

Hot and humid year-round with a drier and sunnier climate to the more southerly Caribbean islands such as Martinique, St. Lucia and St. Vincent. The drier season from Jan – Jun is longer, drier and sunnier than further south in the Caribbean chain and the wet season sees less rainfall on average. Hurricanes rarely directly impact these islands, but in 2017 a series of devastating storms caused extensive and widespread damage, from which communities recovered slowly over a number of years. Rainfall is at its most intense, between the sunshine, from Jul – Nov. Temperatures seldom rise above 32°c or below 20°c.
