Best Time to Visit Anguilla

Anguilla is a fantastic place to visit year round- outside of hurricane season which runs between June 1 - November 30.

Between December and April is usually considered the best time to visit Anguilla. This is the high tourism season so there will be large crowds and hotels will be more expensive when compared to other months but the weather is ideal and there's infrequent rain. Additionally, the island will be in full swing in terms of activities, restaurants, shopping, and service.

Between May and August is a good time to visit Anguilla. This is the off season going in to the beginning of the hurricane season so there may be a bit of rainfall but it won't be extreme and hurricanes are extremely unlikely to hit Anguilla during these beginning months of hurricane season. Additionally, the hotel prices will drop by as much as 50% and flight prices are likely to drop as well.

Between September and November is the worst time to visit Anguilla. You'll be able to find amazing hotel deals during this time - for good reason. It's possible that a hurricane will hit Anguilla during these months, many hotels and restaurants will be closed, and although the temperature is warm still there's a ton of rain that hits the island during these months.
Enjoy the natural beauty of the Caribbean
