Divi Resorts Spotlights Caribbean Events to Drive Spring and Summer Travel Demand

The long-standing Caribbean resort group is offering seasonal savings of up to 50% and rates starting from $135 per night at select properties

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. , April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As travelers increasingly seek experience-driven vacations, Divi Resorts is helping guests make more of every getaway with a curated calendar of cultural events, culinary experiences, and seasonal festivals across its Caribbean portfolio, reinforcing its role as a gateway to some of the region's most sought-after moments.

With properties spanning Aruba, Barbados, Bonaire, St. Maarten, and St. Croix, Divi Resorts continues to build on its long-standing presence as a multi-island operator, offering travelers both value-oriented accommodations and proximity to authentic local experiences.

"Travelers today are looking beyond the traditional beach vacation," says Marco Galaverna, Divi Resorts President and COO. "They're planning around truly unique experiences, and our portfolio is uniquely positioned to connect guests with those moments across multiple islands, while still delivering the value and flexibility they expect from Divi. Whether you're traveling for incredible food, vibrant culture, or just genuine fun, each of these islands has something special to offer in 2026."

In Barbados, demand is expected to center around the Crop Over Festival, running from late July through early August. The event remains one of the Caribbean's most recognized cultural celebrations, drawing international visitors for its music, parades, and lively events. Divi Southwinds Beach Resort is making Crop Over more accessible with a limited-time summer promotion offering up to a whopping 50% off stays, with rates starting at $135 per night for travel between July 1 and August 15, 2026, when booked by April 6.

In St. Maarten (often considered the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean), culinary tourism takes center stage this season. At Divi Little Bay Beach Resort, the resort's signature Chef Meets Chef series returns to Mix at Oceans rooftop restaurant on May 2 with its Latin Fire Edition. This installment will feature a collaborative, multi-course dining experience led by two of Divi's most renowned chefs.

The momentum continues into June with St. Maarten Flavors, a month-long celebration that integrates cuisine, art, and culture across the island, reinforcing the island's reputation as one of the Caribbean's premier food destinations. Divi Little Bay Beach Resort is conveniently located steps from Philipsburg, where the bulk of these foodie-favored events will take place.

On St. Croix, the summer calendar is anchored by the St. Croix Mango Melee on July 12, a culinary festival celebrating the island's agricultural heritage. At Carina Bay All-Inclusive Resort & Casino, Divi is currently offering a sizzling deal with rates starting at just $200 per night – a sizable rate discount that makes travel to this coveted US Virgin Island a no-brainer. Book discounted rates of up to 50% off with promo code SPRINGSTX.

Further south in Bonaire, Divi Resorts highlights locally rooted events such as Dia Di Rincon on April 30, one of the island's longest-standing cultural celebrations, as well as the Bonaire Regatta in October, which brings together sailing, music, and waterfront festivities. These events continue to attract travelers seeking more immersive and community-driven experiences.

Meanwhile, in Aruba, resort guests continue to benefit from a diverse event calendar, including the internationally recognized Aruba Hi-Winds competition in May and the island's annual "I Do" vow renewal ceremony in August, appealing to travelers seeking everything from high-energy adventure to sun-soaked romance, where couples can celebrate, reconnect, and experience their own version of island paradise.
