Featured Villas
Martinique offers an incredible mix of outdoor adventure, Caribbean scenery, and distinctive island culture. From soaring above the Atlantic or Caribbean on a kiteboard to hiking the slopes of Mount Pelée, these experiences showcase some of the best things to see and do during your Martinique vacation.
Hike Mount Pelée
Challenge yourself with a hike up Mount Pelée, Martinique's iconic active volcano. Trails wind through the island's lush northern landscape, offering dramatic views of the surrounding mountains and Caribbean coastline. For a completely different side of the island, combine a Mount Pelée adventure with a visit to Saint-Pierre and learn about the 1902 eruption that forever changed the region.
Kitesurfing at Pointe Faula
Head to Pointe Faula on Martinique's Atlantic coast for an exhilarating day of kitesurfing. The area's warm, shallow waters and reliable trade winds make it a popular spot for both experienced riders and beginners looking to take a lesson. Martinique's consistent winds also make the island an excellent destination for kiteboarding and other wind sports throughout the year.
Swim at the Baignoire de Joséphine
One of Martinique's most iconic experiences awaits off the coast of Le François. The Baignoire de Joséphine, or “Josephine's Bathtub,” is a shallow white-sand area between Îlet Oscar and Îlet Thierry where visitors can wade through remarkably clear turquoise water. Local legend attributes the name to Joséphine de Beauharnais, Napoleon's first wife, who was born in nearby Les Trois-Îlets and was said to have enjoyed bathing here. The story is charming, although the true origin of the name remains uncertain.
Visit a Martinique Rum Distillery
Martinique is renowned for its agricole rum. Visit a local distillery to learn about the production process and sample one of the island's signature spirits. Each experience offers a different glimpse into Martinique's distinctive character. From its spectacular beaches and lush volcanic landscapes to its French-Creole cuisine and vibrant culture, the island is an ideal destination for a memorable luxury Caribbean vacation.
Relax at Plage du Trapèze
Escape to Plage du Trapèze, a beautiful and less-developed stretch of coastline where you can slow down and enjoy Martinique's natural beauty. Pack a picnic, settle into the sand, and spend an unhurried afternoon swimming in the Caribbean Sea. Its more secluded atmosphere makes it a wonderful choice for travelers looking to experience a quieter side of the island.
Get Out On The Water
See the island from the water with a private boat or catamaran excursion. Cruise along Martinique's spectacular coastline, stop at secluded coves, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, and look for sea turtles and other marine life. A full-day sailing excursion can also take you to the Fonds Blancs, where shallow turquoise water and brilliant white sand create one of Martinique's most memorable natural settings.
Take Advantage of Martinique's French Connection
As a French department, Martinique benefits from French and European standards and infrastructure while retaining its unmistakable Caribbean character. Travelers will find well-maintained roads, reliable utilities, modern telecommunications, and high-quality healthcare facilities. It's a particularly appealing combination for travelers who want the beauty and relaxed atmosphere of the Caribbean with the conveniences they expect from a European destination.
Embrace the Local Cuisine
Martinique's culinary traditions reflect the island's unique blend of French and Caribbean influences. Seek out local restaurants and markets to sample specialties such as accras de morue, Colombo, fresh seafood, and boudin créole. Don't miss the opportunity to taste Martinique's renowned rhum agricole, produced from fresh sugarcane juice and deeply connected to the island's history and culture.
Plan Ahead
Luxury villas, beachfront properties, and villas with private pools can be especially desirable during popular travel periods. Reserve your Martinique vacation rental early to secure the location, amenities, and dates that best fit your trip.
Experience Both Sides of the Island
Don't limit your vacation to one stretch of coastline. Martinique's Caribbean and Atlantic shores offer remarkably different scenery and experiences. Spend a day relaxing on a calm Caribbean beach, then venture toward the Atlantic coast for kitesurfing, dramatic scenery, and the famous Fonds Blancs. With a car, you can easily turn your villa into a comfortable home base for exploring the island.
