Wake Up In Paradise In The French Caribbean!

There are so many reasons to "Meet Martinique." With the excellent exchange rate and increased flights to Fort de France from the U.S., the Island of Flowers is now more affordable and accessible than ever! Of course it's now easier to get to Martinique, but where should you stay once you've landed in paradise? Here are a few of the chicest hotels and villas in the French Caribbean!

Cool your feet in the turquoise waters of one of the most picturesque bays in Martinique at Villa Alice Bay. Whether you are relaxing on a private jetty or near the pool, you will be privy to an impeccable ocean view. If you'd prefer to stay on the east coast of the island, head to Point Cerisier in Le Francois. Here, you'll find Le Domaine des Fonds Blancs villa nestled in the lagoon along the most exclusive and famous area of the island.

If hotels are more your speed, Martinique offers a variety of idyllic accommodations. Discover La Pagerie hotel, a modern fully renovated upscale property just a few steps from the isolated beach, and only 20 minutes from downtown Fort de France by ferry. Big on boutique hotels? La Suite Villa is composed of only nine private villas and was ranked the #2 Trendiest Hotel in the Caribbean by Trip Advisor. Here, you can enjoy your view of the Trois-Ilets Bay while treating yourself to a superb Creole meal! If you would like to get a taste of local architecture, head to the Hotel Bakoua in Pointe-du-Bout. This charming West-Indies style hotel boasts a magnificent view of Fort-de-France bay and offers two restaurants, a cocktail bar, tennis, a swimming pool, a beach, and water sport facilities. For the resort type, there is the stunning Club Med Village located on its own peninsula in Sainte Anne. Fully renovated, it features 289 rooms and services include water sports, a full service spa, two restaurants, and a lively bar.
