Best time to visit
St. Lucia's tropical climate means warm temperatures year-round, with the average temperature staying in the upper 70s°F. The island has a dry season and a rainy season, also known as hurricane season. Even in the dry season, tropical rain can occur, which is what makes the island so lush.
The best time to visit St. Lucia for your honeymoon is between December and April during the dry season. January, in particular, is a great month to visit as it sees low rainfall, with moderate humidity and temperatures hovering around 26°C (79°F). The risk of hurricanes is also minimal. However, this is a peak travel time for St. Lucia, with prices at their highest around the Christmas and New Year period.
February is another great month to visit St. Lucia, as it continues the dry season in the Caribbean. It has the least amount of rain, with only half the days seeing light showers that are usually in short bursts in the afternoon or evening. The average temperature remains around 26°C (79°F), with moderate humidity, making it ideal for outdoor activities and beach relaxation. The hurricane risk is very low, as it is well outside the hurricane season.
If you're looking for more affordable travel prices, you may want to consider travelling during the hurricane season, which runs from June to November, with September being the likeliest month for inclement weather.
