When is the best time to go to The Dunes?
The best time to go to The Dunes is during the spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November) when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller.

Spring offers warm temperatures, typically ranging from 20°C to 28°C, and lower humidity. This makes it ideal for enjoying the beaches, golfing, and outdoor activities without the intense heat of summer. You'll find the resort less crowded, allowing for a more relaxed experience at restaurants and attractions.

Autumn also provides wonderful weather, with temperatures usually between 22°C and 30°C. The hurricane season officially runs through November, but direct hits are rare, and the later months of autumn typically see less activity. This period is superb for couples looking for a romantic getaway, as the resort takes on a quieter, more sophisticated feel after the summer family rush. You can enjoy long walks on the beach and al fresco dining in comfort.

Families with young children might still prefer late spring or early autumn to avoid the peak summer heat and school holiday crowds.
