If you’re looking for a tropical getaway for Labor Day weekend, a 2025 safety ranking has listed the best options to avoid crime and hurricanes.
According to the 2025 Caribbean Island Safety Index, created by Always All Inclusive, the island of Aruba is the safest Caribbean travel option this summer.
“This island is a dream for worry-free travel, even during hurricane season,” the ranking reads.
“It’s especially great for families and solo travelers.”
To create its ranking, Always All Inclusive assigned each island a 0–10 score across four categories:
U.S. State Department travel advisories
Violent crime rates (especially tourist-related)
Hurricane frequency and resilience
Emergency healthcare access
The site then weighted each category based on what travelers care about most.
