Martinique Holidays

Known as the Island of Flowers, Martinique is an unparalleled paradise of stunning natural beauty, with a rich history and a unique fusion of French, African, and Caribbean cultures throughout its food, architecture, and everyday life. For a luxury Caribbean Island holiday with friendly locals, brilliant year-round weather and relaxation around every corner, look no further.

Set to a dramatic mountainous backdrop, Martinique boasts lush rainforests and a stunning coastline, with the Caribbean Sea on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. The island’s most well-known landmark is Mount Pelée, an active volcano that famously erupted in 1902, causing untold damage in the city of St. Pierre. Nowadays it’s a revered hiking location that affords spectacular panoramic views from the summit, and a must-visit destination during your holiday.

Martinique is home to dreamlike beaches all around the shoreline. Grande Anse des Salines is arguably one of the best stretches in the Caribbean. Famed for sun-kissed golden sands, crystal-clear waters, and arching coconut trees along its edge, this picturesque beach is popular with visitors and locals alike and offers the perfect spot for swimming, sunbathing and enjoying a leisurely day in a quintessential tropical paradise.

History buffs will adore wandering the island’s bustling capital city, Fort-de-France, where you can immerse yourself into its French colonial past. The city’s vibrant atmosphere and cultural diversity make it a great place for exploration. Discover its vibrant markets, stunning architecture and significant historical landmarks such as Fort Saint-Louis, a wonderful 17th-century fortress with unbeatable views across the bay, as well as the colourful Bibliothèque Schoelcher. The city of St. Pierre also provides wonderful opportunities for exploration as this former capital is now a place of intriguing ruins, museums, and memorials to see.

Martinique in a Nutshell

Martinique isn’t called the Island of Flowers for nothing, and you’ll discover why when visiting the Jardin de Balata, a stunning botanical garden in Fort-de-France that presents a fascinating collection of tropical flora including birds of paradise and torch ginger. You can also take a walk along a series of suspended bridges amid the treetops, plus, look out for elegant hummingbirds hovering amid the lush forest for a truly tranquil island experience.

See the island from up above at Mangofil Martinique as you zip line through the treetops. This outdoor arena has fun for all the family including mini golf and giant chess, all surrounded by gorgeous tropical vegetation. Make a day of it and take a packed lunch for a picnic in the gardens to refuel after plenty of adventure.

Rum presents a huge source of pride for Martinique and is more than just a drink. Visit one of the island’s excellent distilleries and dive deep into a rich heritage of tradition and flavour. Guided tours often include a walk around the sugarcane plantations, still rooms, and ageing cellars to see the intricate rum-making process before having the chance to sample various tipples and purchase some to take home with you.

Of course, you can’t visit Martinique without spending ample time on its world-class beaches. Grand Anse Les Salines may be the most well-known, but there are many more beautiful spots to discover. Anse Noire in Les Anses d’Arlet sits between two cliffs and presents the only volcanic black-sand beach in the south of the island—its varied marine life and beautiful seabed makes it the perfect spot for swimming and snorkelling.

Tucked along the western coast in Trois-Îlets sits the area’s primary beach, Anse Mitan, a narrow ribbon of gorgeous white sand fringed by crystal-clear waters. This lively spot is ideal for families as well as being great for underwater exploring and water sports activities. Edged by plenty of restaurants and bars, this beach has an energetic vibe and beckons for all-day fun.

For a true taste of Martinique, you must try its incredible gourmet cuisine to appreciate the island's rich culinary traditions and diverse flavours. With French, African, Indian, and Creole influences, the island is well known for dishes like accras (cod fritters), colombo (spicy meat stew), and delectable fresh seafood.

Excellently prepared dishes can be found at La Mandoline in Trois-Îlets, offering an island dining experience like no other. Here, you’ll find classic French cuisine with a Caribbean twist, using fresh produce to create innovative dishes that are unforgettable.

Food is always on the mind for Martinicans, so you’ll come across countless places to eat, from fine dining restaurants to roadside barbecue trucks, tiny stalls selling cane juice or coconut water, and even oceanfront shacks for tantalising snacks and refreshments to hydrate you on your beach days!

frequently asked questions

As a Caribbean Island, Martinique enjoys glorious year-round sunshine, making it the ideal beach destination. High season runs from mid-December to April and enjoys favourable weather with warm temperatures averaging around 27°C, and low humidity. Travel in the shoulder seasons of May-June and November-December to avoid peak crowds; there’s a higher chance of rain but it’s usually short-lived and won’t hinder any outdoor activities you have planned.

Low season between July and October presents lower prices but also coincides with the Atlantic’s notorious hurricane season.
While there are no direct flights from the UK to Martinique (FDF), you can fly from London with a quick stop in Paris with British Airways or Air France.
Martinique’s national language is French and although a fair number of islanders speak English, it’s great to know a few phrases just for convenience.
