The Art of Perfect Timing Doesn’t Exist Here (Because It’s Always Good)

Let’s put it simply: if your plan is to escape somewhere warm, breezy, and perpetually photogenic — Saint-Martin is always in season. There’s no bad time to come. Just different flavors of paradise.

A Year-Round Invitation

Saint-Martin enjoys a classic Caribbean climate: warm, sunny, and kissed by trade winds. Temperatures average between 77°F and 86°F (25°C to 30°C) all year long. Ocean? Warm. Breeze? Gentle. Sky? Mostly blue with a hint of smug. What changes? Just the details.

Dry Season (December – April): Prime Time Perfection

This is what locals call haute saison — for good reason. The sun is out, humidity drops, and every hour feels like golden hour. You’ll want to reserve your villa early (we can help with that), and pack linen everything. Think: long beach lunches, barefoot sunset walks, and zero regrets.

Shoulder Season (May – June, November): Your Insider Secret

Fewer crowds, lower rates, and the same magical views. Rain is rare, the sea is warm, and there’s a little extra room at your favorite beach bar. It’s that sweet spot where smart travelers thrive.

Green Season (July – October): Lush, Luminous, Less Traveled

Yes, it’s technically hurricane season, but most days? Sunny and still. You might get a dramatic tropical shower (read: excellent excuse for a rum punch under cover), followed by a rainbow over the bay. Everything’s greener, quieter, and a bit more soulful.

Quick Notes for the Weather-Curious

• Humidity? Slightly higher in summer, but always balanced by the breeze.
• Sea temps? Between 79°F and 84°F (26°C to 29°C), aka perfect.
• Wind? Lovely trade winds year-round — enough to keep you cool and your kite surfers happy.
• Rain? Brief, warm, and kind of romantic. Locals don’t even flinch.

How to Pack: Easy Does It

You won’t need much, but you’ll want to pack smart:

• Light, breathable clothing (and your favorite swimsuit — or three)
• Reef-safe sunscreen (we like our coral alive, thanks)
• A hat, sunglasses, and maybe a wrap for breezy nights
• Sandals. Or nothing. You do you.

The Weather Is Never a Reason Not to Come

Saint-Martin doesn’t need a “best time.” It just is. Whether you’re sipping cocktails in February or swimming under warm October rain, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. Let the rest of the world talk about seasons. You’ve got your own forecast: sunny with a chance of never leaving.
