The Caribbean Island Safety Index 2025 has been released, ranking the top 10 safest destinations in the region. The index, developed by experts in Sandals resorts, uses data from U.S. travel advisories, local crime trends, hurricane exposure, and healthcare readiness to create a single, expert-backed score.
Aruba tops the list with a composite score of 9.3, followed closely by Barbados (9.2) and Grenada (9). These islands excel in terms of low crime rates, minimal hurricane exposure, and solid healthcare systems.
In contrast, Jamaica ranks lowest at 5.5 due to its high crime rates and moderate access to healthcare. However, even the safest destinations require travelers to use common sense and stay aware of their surroundings.
The index also highlights trends in crime and hurricane exposure across the Caribbean. Saint Lucia experienced a sharp rise in homicides, while the Dominican Republic showed steady improvement. Meanwhile, Puerto Rico and Barbados boast top-tier medical care.
Travelers can feel confident visiting these safe destinations, as long as they take necessary precautions to stay safe. The Caribbean Island Safety Index 2025 aims to provide travelers with reliable information to plan their trips with confidence.
