Anguilla is the Caribbean’s quiet-luxury island – 33 powder-white beaches (Shoal Bay East regularly tops ‘world’s best’ lists), barefoot-elegant resorts, and a low-key, celebrity-favorite vibe. It’s flat, dry and sunny, with a classic winter high season.
General guidance from typical seasonal averages – always check a live forecast before you book. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30 (peak August-October); a storm in season is the exception, not the rule, and travel insurance is smart in those months.
Anguilla: season by season
High & dry season. December through April is peak: dependable sun, low humidity and the calmest seas, matched by the island’s highest (and, this being Anguilla, considerable) rates. Book far ahead for winter.
Hurricane & low season. August through October is hurricane season and the wettest stretch (Irma struck in 2017); it’s the cheapest and quietest time, for the flexible and well-insured.
Shoulder season (best value). May-June and November bring warm, mostly dry weather, thinner crowds and better value at the boutique resorts.
What else to know
Moonsplash, the island’s beloved music festival, hits March; the Anguilla Summer Festival (Carnival) runs late July into August; and the beach-bar scene at Shoal Bay and Sandy Ground is a year-round draw. Water sits 79-84°F.
When to go, by trip type
Best for a luxury beach escape December-April; honeymooners love the quiet; value in the shoulder; music fans aim for March.
