Year-round UV makes tanning possible any month, but monsoon season brings unpredictable cloud cover. Plan sessions during dry season for the most consistent results.

In this tropical location, SPF 50+ broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential year-round. Reapply every 60-90 minutes, especially after swimming or sweating.
