Top Reasons to visit Martinique in 2016
New non-stop flights from New York/JFK, Boston Logan and Baltimore/DC BWI from December 3, 2015 to late March 2016. One of the Caribbean's most awarded Islands with new hotels and villas to enjoy. See what a prominent American has to say about Martinique.
5 Must-Do Activities in Guadeloupe
Guadeloupe is one of the Caribbean’s under-the-radar destinations, set between Dominica and Antigua in the Leeward Islands of the Lesser Antilles. In-the-know visitors come to enjoy it’s sailing culture, quiet beaches, French Caribbean cuisine and Creole heritage. There is much more to uncover as well. What follows are five things everyone should do when visiting Guadeloupe—the “Pearl of the French Caribbean.”
1. Attend a Cultural Festival
Guadeloupe has a colorful history, a mélange of cultures and customs.
The best way to celebrate its storied past is to time your visit with a cultural festival, such as Fête des Cuisinieres.
Each August, female chefs take to the streets in festive aprons and madras headscarves in celebration of St. Lawrence, the patron saint of cooks. They sing traditional songs, ring dinner bells and spread the love, by sharing their home cooking with newfound friends.
2. Go Rum Tasting
Guadeloupians are serious about rum, so make a point to head to one of its nine distilleries for a tasting and a tour. We chose Domaine de Bellevue on Marie Galant to sample the islands famous Planteurs punch, rum creme and oak barrel-aged rums. My favorite was the Coconut Punch rum, which combined the creaminess of a crème liquor (like Bailey’s Irish Crème) with the boldness of coconut. Rum tastings are offered every day and are free to visitors.
3. Try Creole Delicacies
Come hungry because the Creole food in Guadeloupe is outstanding. One of my favorite dishes, called a bokit, just tastes better when ordered from a food truck. This fried-bread sandwich includes the protein of your choice (conch, ham, grilled fish), a fried egg, tons of cheese and a spicy mayonnaise to tie all of the flavors together.
There are a lot of things you should do when you visit the scenic archipelago of Les Saintes, and trying a tourment d’amour should be one of them. The pastry— filled with coconut, guava or banana—is baked fresh daily and available at the ferry docks. Just look for women carting around large, decorative baskets.
No trip to Guadeloupe would be complete without sampling the region’s signature appetizer, cod fritters with homemade dog sauce. Most restaurants will serve a version of this garlicy, fried dish, and it’s perfect for sharing with friends (who don’t mind if your breath stinks afterward). You can find the recipe and a how-to video here:
4. Visit a Coffee Plantation
Not a lot of people know that Guadeloupe is the oldest coffee-growing region in the Americas—its roots tracing back to 1726, when the first Arabica Typica coffee seeds were introduced. At Habitation La Grivelière, coffee is painstakingly made the traditional way, which will give you a new appreciation for each and every cup.
5. Photograph Pointe des Chateaux
The Atlantic Ocean collides with the Caribbean Sea at Pointe des Chateaux, and you’re going to want to bring your camera to capture its rugged beauty. These are the same sights that drew in Christopher Columbus in 1493, and now it’s your turn to discover them.

Marvelous Martinique - Beaches, Rum Distilleries, Hiking & Diving
Come explore the French Caribbean with us! Martinique is a unique island with a mix of French and Island culture. If you have the chance to visit - you won't want to miss it!
Airbnb in Gros-morne, Martinique
We found a charming Airbnb with incredible hosts who made our trip memorable. They are perfectly situated in the middle of the island, away from the highly populated tourist areas. Gros-Morne is just a one-hour drive to all corners of the island, and we definitely took advantage, exploring as much of Martinique as possible in just one week!
Mt Pelée
That’s right! We hiked the third deadliest volcano: Mt. Pelée. Pro-tip: start your hike early for the best views and for the least amount of crowds. Hike up to the caldera, around the caldera, and even into the Chinois cone if you still have the energy! Definitely plan to hike around the caldera for the best views over the ocean. After a successful hike, treat yourself to the island’s best ice cream: Ziouka Glaces in Le Carbet. Then, go for a dip in the refreshing waters—you earned it!
Anse Couleuvre
Martinique is an island, and therefore home to countless beaches! We spent one week driving around to find the best beaches, and we found our favorite to be Anse Couleuvre! A remote, black sand beach in the northernmost parts of Martinique, Anse Couleuvre was the least crowded! Navigating your way to this beach takes a bit of effort: a two hour drive from Les Trois-Îlets, and then a 15 minute hike to reach the beach. Trust us - it’s worth it!
Rum, rum, rum!
When in Martinique—take a rum tour! Martinique is home to more than 15 rum distilleries, most of them offering FREE rum tastings! Our favorite was Plantation St. James which includes beautiful grounds and an in-depth museum about the history of rum in Martinique. We highly recommend a visit - especially on a rainy day!
Scuba
Or as the French say, “Plongeé”! There are many dive sites, for which you can see diverse sea life! While we didn’t encounter any turtles, were told you can catch them in the early mornings at Anse Dufour. We saw colorful corals, and even some moray eels! There’s nothing like surrounding yourself in schools of fish to feel like you’ve entered another world.
Diamond Rock and Cap 110 Memorial
What’s a trip without a little bit of history? We visited the Cap 110 Memorial which honored the lives lost in a tragic shipwreck in the 1830s. The somber memorial is a lasting tribute, and offers views of the famous Diamond Rock.
Savanna of Petrifications
Looking for beautiful, vast scenery? Head to the petrified forests and hike to the edges of the world. You can spend hours hiking to remote beaches, away from the crowds. Bring enough sunblock and water, because there aren’t many places to hide from the sun.
