All Months
November through May is peak season for good reason – no typhoons, minimal rain, and perfect beach weather. But here's the catch: everyone knows this. December and January see the worst crowds and highest prices. March through May offers the best balance – great weather with slightly fewer tourists. The northeast monsoon hits June through October, bringing rain and rough seas. Some resorts close entirely. But if you don't mind afternoon showers and want the island to yourself, September offers 50% cheaper accommodation. Just know that ferry services get cancelled during storms, so build flexibility into your plans.
