When to Go

St Barts has a tropical climate which means its summers (August-November) can see a lot of rain falling in sharp afternoon showers. December is very busy with prices at a premium and a need to book 6 months in advance. January to April is very hot and a great time to visit but prices are high especially during boating week in March. You’ll find the best room rates for your St. Barts honeymoon from April to mid November with May and June a great option for warm weather and lower prices.
