Although many of us enjoy the majesty of a white Christmas, and there is certainly nothing wrong with curling up beside a warm fire when the temperatures begin to drop, the fact of the matter is that winters can also be harsh in the northern latitudes. Why not instead take a break from the gray doldrums with the help of a Caribbean holiday in November?
Let’s quickly examine three of the most alluring destinations, and describe a handful of qualities that define each. You can then make an informed decision while keeping Old Man Winter at bay.
Aruba
It is no mistake that Aruba enjoys the top spot within our list. Not only is this one of the most tourist-friendly Caribbean destinations, but cerulean blue waters punctuated by pristine beaches both serve to punctuate the natural beauty to be found here. Cities such as Oranjestad, Noord, and San Nicolas likewise offer a truly modern feel; making them ideal for lone travellers, and entire families.
Aruba is indeed a paradise on earth when it comes to pleasant weather. Even during November, temperatures rarely fall below 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Daytime highs also hover around 85 degrees; making this island ideal for those who are less than content with winter conditions.
On a side note, you will also need an Electronic Disembarkation card if Aruba is your intended destination. Luckily, there are dedicated websites that help tourists get their ED Card Aruba online without complications.
The Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic has always represented a tourist hotspot when the temperatures outside begin to fall. Indeed, recent statistics highlight that this island is frequented by more than 5.7 million visitors every year.
The good news is that this island has much more to offer than cigars, a tasty glass of rum, and stunning panoramic seaside views. The Dominican Republic is also known for an eclectic cultural history, and a rugged sense of natural beauty. Popular pastimes here include mountain biking, hiking, zip lining, and touring well-known museums (Centro Leon is highly recommended).
November temperatures here are moderate. Similar to Aruba, these tend to range between 73 and 88 degrees Fahrenheit. Skies are generally clear, and while you might encounter a passing shower, strong storms rarely appear during late autumn.
Jamaica
Jamaica is yet another well-known Caribbean destination, and for good reason. We are not only referring to luxury hotels such as the Bahia Principe Grand Jamaica or Hotel Riu Ocho Rios. Private beaches, glass-bottom boat tours of the coastline, and the scintillating nightlife associated with the capital city of Kingston continue appealing to tourists from all walks of life.
Pleasant daytime temperatures of (approximately) 84 degrees also allow Jamaica to represent a welcome respite from the biting winds that can sometimes define late autumns in the United States, or Europe.
Warm and Welcoming
Why bundle up to brave the elements when these amazing destinations await? Regardless of where you happen to choose, prepare yourself for an experience that will enable you to get in from the cold!
