When To Go
Since near-perfect weather is a sure thing in Aruba all year round (it and its sister islands are located on the fringe of the hurricane belt so there's no rainy season and only a 2% chance of encountering a serious tropical storm), there's really no bad time to visit. January through March are the most popular months and Aruba's high season, but prices drop significantly from mid-April through August ( the low season), so we'd recommend the off-season months for a better value. Even in the summer, temperatures are bearable, thanks to the constant breezes and a dry climate that rules out oppressive humidity. Just before Lent, Aruba has its Carnival celebration and the island is abuzz with parades and parties. In October, the Aruba Music Festival attracts headliners such as Lionel Richie, Styx, Pat Benatar, and John Mayer. September is the only month when those darling trade winds are known to die down a bit and you can actually feel the heat. To get the best bang for your buck, booking a package for travel spring through fall is probably your best bets.
