Montserrat, nestled within the Leeward Islands, bears a fascinating past as complex and intricate as a patchwork quilt. The island was christened by Christopher Columbus himself in 1493, and has since seen waves of settlers from the native Caribs to European colonists. Its turbulent history includes periods under French and English control and an economy bolstered by slavery until its abolition in 1834. Recent years have seen the island rebuild after a catastrophic volcanic eruption in 1995, transforming the settlement of Little Bay into a new hub for growth and prosperity.

While maintaining its status as an internally self-governing UK territory, Montserrat maintains its strong connection to its multicultural roots. This is observed in its rich archaeological evidence, its Irish lineage echoed in its moniker "The Emerald Isle of the Caribbean", and the living native culture. The island's breathtaking landscapes boast sandy beaches, volcanic peaks, lush forests, not forgetting the stunning Soufrière Hills volcano, the highest point on the island with a captivating lava dome testament to Mother Nature's power.

When to visit Montserrat

Blessed with a tropical climate moderated by trade winds, Montserrat is a year-round haven for sun seekers and adventurers. Two distinct seasons, the comparatively dry December through to June and the wetter July to November, offer different experiences. The island welcomes an average rainfall of 1250-2000mm annually, injecting life into its vibrant ecosystem.

The magic of Montserrat can be enjoyed at any time of the year, but it is between January and May that the island is at its driest. This makes it an ideal period for those looking to explore its sandy beaches, hike its mountainous interior, or delve into the island's exciting culture without the hassle of tropical showers. As in life, timing is everything, make yours count by booking your Montserrat retreat with LycaFly today.
