When to rent a villa in San Rafael del Yuma

The Dominican Republic enjoys a tropical climate, with temperatures in San Rafael del Yuma remaining relatively consistent throughout the year. However, it's worth noting that the country experiences two main seasons: the dry season (December to April) and the wet season (May to November). For a villa holiday in San Rafael del Yuma, we recommend visiting during the dry season when the weather is cooler and sunnier, making it ideal for outdoor activities like beach days, water sports and exploring the local area.

If you're looking for a more relaxed pace, consider visiting during the shoulder season (May to June or November to December), when the crowds are smaller and prices tend to be lower. The weather is still pleasant, with average temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F). Just keep in mind that this period can see occasional rain showers, but these are usually short-lived and don't disrupt your villa holiday plans. Whatever time of year you choose, make sure to book your villa in advance to avoid disappointment!
