Learn more about hotels in Falkland Islands

Clothed in remoteness, the Falkland Islands sit about 300 miles off South America's southern Patagonian coast. A British overseas territory possessed of self-governance, the archipelago spreads across 4,700 square miles and encompasses East Falkland, West Falkland, and numerous smaller islets. Suspended in a complex historical web that entwines the French, British, Spanish, and Argentine, Britain reinforced its rule here in 1833, although Argentina still states a claim.

The Falklands' history took a dramatic turn in 1982 when Argentine military forces invaded, sparking the ten-week Falklands War, after which British administration resumed. In a sovereignty referendum a few years ago, the Falklanders overwhelmingly affirmed their decision to remain a UK overseas territory, underlining their majority native-born British descent. Here, English rings in the air, and an eclectic mix of ethnicities colour the cultural fabric, while an economy based on fishing, tourism, and sheep farming thrives.

When to visit Falkland Islands

The Falkland Islands bloom under a canvas of subantarctic climate, and your best bet to explore them in all its glory is from October through April. During the heart of summer, from November to February, the mercury dips and peaks at agreeable levels and the days lengthen, offering ample time for wildlife watching, fishing, or simply absorbing the untamed beauty that surrounds you. Be aware that these months draw in increased visitors, so secure your accommodation in advance to avoid last-minute hiccups.

For those craving quieter moments with the islands' extraordinary biodiversity, March to April also offers a great window of opportunity, with thinner crowds enhancing the intimacy of the experience. Unless you're an ardent fan of harsher climates, a visit from May to September may prove challenging due to the winter chill.
