A popular destination for the French for obvious reasons, Martinique is a paradise full of sublime beaches, wild landscapes and an interesting Creole culture that attracts more and more tourists from all over the world every year.
Holidaying in Martinique is an unforgettable experience for travellers seeking relaxation, discovery of the local culture and immersion in lush nature. Whether you are passionate about culture, nature or gastronomy, Martinique offers a multitude of activities and tourist sites to discover.
The peak tourist season in Martinique is from December to April, with peaks in December and February. If you plan to leave during this period, we advise you to book as early as possible to have more choice and find better offers.
Although Martinique is not a very large island, the choice of the location of your accommodation will still be important. There are two viable options: choose one location to use as a base to tour the whole island, or choose two accommodations, one in the centre/north and one in the south, so that you can easily discover most of the sites on the island, especially if you don’t like driving too much.
The centre of Martinique is not where you will find the most beautiful beaches and the most striking sites on the island, but it is the region to favour if you want to spend your entire stay in one hosting and be able to easily reach all the sites.
Martinique’s capital is the city you will land in. With just over 80,000 inhabitants, this municipality is the most important on the island administratively and culturally. Its location is central and it is a place that may be particularly suited to you if you want to easily find bars and restaurants where you can spend your evenings.
We recommend that you stay here to spend the first or last night of your trip, so that you are close to the airport, especially in the case of very inconvenient hours, late in the evening or very early in the morning.
This small town in the centre of Martinique, located on the east coast, is very famous for its coral reefs and its white seabed. Just in front of the town, you can go by boat to discover 8 magnificent islets while on its beaches and in its waters you will have the opportunity to practice many sports activities, such as kitesurfing.
Le François is Martinique’s third largest municipality. It is a lively but less touristy place than the big beach resorts and benefits from a good location.
The island’s most famous seaside resorts are located in the south of Martinique: dream beaches with all amenities await you in the south-east, in the municipality of Trois-Îlets, while in the south-west, towards Sainte-Anne, you can get away from the tourist areas and discover a coastline that is still relatively wild.
If you want to spend a lively and sparkling stay in a seaside resort from which you can reach all the main attractions, then the municipality of Trois-Îlets could be the place you are looking for.
In this area, also quite close to the airport, you will find Anse Noire, the village beach and Martinique’s most beautiful beaches with a wide choice of accommodation, from super-luxurious hotels to beautifully furnished rental flats.
Sainte-Anne is located on a peninsula in the far south of the island, on the Atlantic coast. This resort is particularly known for its enchanting beaches, such as Grande Anse des Salines andAnse Trabaud.
This part of Martinique, which is quieter than the more touristy areas of Trois-Îlets and the surrounding towns, will be ideal if you want to stay in a place that retains a certain authenticity.
On the beautiful Caribbean coast is the characteristic Les Anses-d’Arlet, a true pearl of Martinique. The most distinctive element of this charming fishing village is its characteristic bell tower that seems to emerge directly from the crystal-clear waters.
The place offers charming accommodation such as traditional Creole mansions and cosy flats overlooking the waters of the bay. Those who choose this location will enjoy not only magnificent, uncrowded beaches but also excellent snorkelling spots.
A short distance from Les Anses-d’Arlet is Le Diamant, an oasis of Caribbean peace and authenticity. The place is perfect for those who want an exclusive experience, thanks to its elegant boutique hotels and luxurious private villas offering breathtaking ocean views.
In the north of Martinique, you can discover the island’s most impressive and wild natural sites.
By choosing to stay in the northern part of Martinique, you will therefore be far from the tourist crowds and the most popular beach resorts. Instead, you will enjoy a quiet, natural and wild environment with plenty of space to explore on a hike or excursion.
Le Carbet beach is where Christopher Columbus arrived in Martinique on 15 June 1502. This small fishing village will be the perfect place to stop in the northern part of the island. If you are fond of trekking and hiking in nature, this region is the right choice for you.
It is from here that you set off to conquer the Pelée Mountain, the active volcano, the highest point in the Lesser Antilles. Another excursion can take you to Anse Couleuvre, an incredible beach of black volcanic sand, surrounded by greenery and cliffs. In this part of the island, you can also discover small, charming villages nestled in the tropical forest.
Sainte-Marie and La Trinité are located on Martinique’s North Atlantic coast. These small towns, very attached to their traditions, still live mainly from agricultural activities. In this region, you can discover a surprising variety of environments, with beaches, forests, Creole gardens and plantations, and meet particularly welcoming local people.
If you want to get away from the tourist sites and spend a stay in a preserved natural environment, between the sea and the mountains, Sainte-Marie and La Trinité will be the ideal destinations.
