The Travel: The 14 Safest Caribbean Islands for Solo Female Travelers
The Best Caribbean Islands for Solo Female Travel
From Ernest Hemingway to Ian Fleming, the Caribbean has a long history of travelers exploring the region on their own.
For women traveling solo, choosing the right destination can feel overwhelming. As with all destination choices, for female travelers, safety is an important context for choosing a Caribbean escape.
The Travel compiled a list of the 14 safest Caribbean islands for solo female travelers, with St. Maarten ranking in the top 10 of this list. These rankings are based on the Solo Female Travel Index, which rates destinations on a scale from 1 (safest) to 4 (least safe), as well as the U.S. Department of State – Bureau of Consular Affairs Travel Advisory Levels.
St Maarten Considered Safe For Female Travelers
According to The Travel, St. Maarten is one of the safest solo travel destinations for women in the Caribbean. With an overall solo female travel safety score of 1, St. Maarten stands out as one of the safest Caribbean getaways in the region.
This aligns with the first grade safety level consistently provided by the US department of state to the island, making St Maarten one of the safest destinations of the Caribbean overall. Precautions advised by the foreign office for this Caribbean retreat are not different than those in western countries. The United Kingdom advises travelers to avoid isolated areas, particularly after dark, to use licensed taxis and not to take too much valuables outside the hotel if not needed. This advise does not differ much from other countries in the western hemisphere. TravelAwaits magazine also selected St. Maarten as top 7 Caribbean retreats for solo travelers.
As most resorts have restaurants either on property or nearby and excursions within reach for any day trip, this provides great freedom to roam and explore for women traveling to this exotic beach destination by themselves. Whether you are looking for relaxation, coastal adventures or Caribbean festivals and events, St Maarten offers a safe and unforgettable Caribbean escape for solo female travelers.
