ABC Islands
While much of the Caribbean can become unbearably hot after April, the three remarkable ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao) are located outside of the hurricane belt and blessed with balmy dry weather all year long. Beautiful stretches of sand, swaying palms, and aquamarine waters are sufficient incentive to visit any of these three South Caribbean isles, but each is quite different from the other: Aruba touts long sandy shores, striking desert-like vistas, and a host of grand all-inclusive resorts and flashy casinos while Bonaire, considered one of the world's best diving destinations, is relatively undeveloped and ideal for a tranquil getaway. Curaçao, meanwhile, is the largest of the lot and boasts plenty of island culture, a tasty liqueur that bears its name, and an incredibly cosmopolitan capital, Willemstad. If you’re looking to enjoy some Caribbean paradise after April, the ABCs have got you covered.
