Good news for American travelers! One of the safest Caribbean islands right now is Puerto Rico, and you don’t even need a passport to visit it.
A new report by Always All Inclusive ranked the top 10 safest Caribbean destinations in 2025 using real safety data. They checked four important things:
-
U.S. travel advisories
-
Violent crime rates
-
Hurricane risk
-
Emergency health care access
Each island got a score from 1 to 10 in every category, with 10 being the best.
Puerto Rico came in at #6, with a great healthcare score of 10 and an overall safety score of 7.6. Since Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, Americans don’t need a passport to travel there—just book your ticket and go!
Top 3 safest Caribbean islands:
-
Aruba – Score: 9.3
-
Barbados – Score: 9.2

Grenada – Score: 9.0
The report says Puerto Rico is safe for tourists, especially in resort areas, though it does face more hurricane exposure and some urban crime.
Islands like Aruba, Curaçao, and Barbados are safer from hurricanes, while Puerto Rico still stands out because of its top medical care and easy access for U.S. travelers.
