Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Arcadia?
The best area to stay in Arcadia is along The Esplanade, which provides direct access to the beach and the main amenities.

This stretch of Arcadia is the heart of the area, offering a relaxed coastal experience. You'll find most of the local shops, cafes, and eateries here, all within easy reach. The Esplanade runs parallel to the beach, making it very convenient for a morning stroll or a quick dip in the sea.

Couples often find this area ideal for a relaxed getaway. Many accommodations along The Esplanade offer ocean views, and it's easy to spend your days enjoying the beach, dining at the local restaurants, or taking a short walk to attractions like the Arcadia Jetty.

When is the best time to go to Arcadia?
The best time to go to Arcadia is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.

During these months, you'll experience warm, sunny days with minimal rainfall, making it superb for enjoying the island's outdoor activities. The average daily temperature hovers around 25°C, providing comfortable conditions for exploring the beaches, hiking trails, and wildlife. This period also generally offers clearer waters for snorkelling and diving around the fringing reefs.

For those looking to avoid the busiest tourist crowds, the shoulder months of May, June, September, and October are particularly good. You'll still benefit from the fantastic weather but with fewer visitors and potentially better value on accommodation and activities.

The wet season, from November to April, brings higher humidity, more frequent rainfall, and the risk of tropical cyclones.
