Puerto Rico island, a self-governing area of the United States, lies in the Caribbean and offers something for everyone, whether it be a vibrant city break, a relaxing beach getaway or an adrenaline-filled adventure holiday. The tropical climate ensures the island is hot and mostly sunny all year round, so it's the perfect choice for escaping the cold British winter.
March is the driest month of the year in Puerto Rico with 2.9 inches expected to fall over 15 days. Although this seems a lot, rainfall gets much worse later in the year when hurricane season approaches. Temperatures range from 20 to 29 degrees Celsius and visitors at this time of year can't afford to forget the sunscreen as the UV index in March rockets to extreme levels.
Being the driest month, March visitors should take the opportunity to enjoy activities they won't be able to in the rain. A round of golf is certainly one of these activities and what better place to hit the green than at the TrumpInternationalGolfClub in the Rio Grande area, east of San Juan. A part of Donald Trump's collection of property, the oceanfront course is popular with novices and experienced players alike.
No trip to Puerto Rico would be complete without visiting one of the world famous bioluminescent bays. These bays are home to tiny plankton which are usually invisible to the naked eye, but, come sunset, these miniscule organisms light up the water when disturbed, creating a magical and somewhat eerie glow. The best place to experience this is in Fajardo on the east of the island. KayakingPuertoRico offers kayak hire and tours for under £30 per person.
Staying overnight in Fajardo is easy and the FajardoInnResortoffers rooms from just £64 per night. The resort is a holiday in itself and with pools, restaurants, bars and a fitness centre, guests needn't leave the complex at all if they don't wish.
