The Caribbean has around 700 islands and among these islands there's a wide range of topography such as its tropical forests, coral reefs and waterfalls to name a few. Not only does the Caribbean amaze with its beautiful landscapes but it also has rich culture blending elements from both natives and colonial, further enriched by each country's own culture. Club Med explores the Caribbean to guide you on the best places to visit and what you should try.
The best time to visit the Caribbean is during the dry season, which typically runs from December to April. During these months, the weather is sunny and warm, with low humidity and minimal rainfall, making it perfect for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities. This period also avoids the hurricane season, which peaks from June to November.
Some of the best Caribbean islands to visit offer a mix of natural beauty, vibrant culture, and luxury resorts. Turks and Caicos is famous for its crystal-clear waters and stunning beaches.
