Claiming a place in the French Republic while cradled in the Caribbean, Martinique’s heritage is as intriguing as its turquoise-blue coastline. Initially occupied by the Arawaks and Caribs, the island was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1502. Subsequent French colonisation in 1635, intermittent British occupations, and the abolition of slavery in 1848 have all left layers of history woven into the fabric of the island. Past eruptions have moulded the topography of the region, resulting in a stunning natural landscape that includes towering mountains, verdant rainforests, and tranquil beaches.

The island is the embodiment of French chic intertwined with Caribbean culture. French is the official language, but one can hear the lilting sounds of Martinican Creole in the bustling marketplaces. As a special collectivity of the French Republic, Martinique gives its inhabitants full political and legal rights, while the island enjoys the status of an Outermost Region of the European Union. The topic of the island's status invokes vibrant discourse, oscillating between assimilation and autonomy. Yet, through all political debates, Martinique remains a blossoming 'island of flowers'.

When to visit Martinique

Martinique enjoys a tropical climate that promises warm, pleasant weather throughout the year. Nevertheless, the best time to visit the island is from December to May, during the dry season. This period sees less rainfall, making it perfect for indulging in a myriad of outdoor activities, from beachside lounging to adventurous rainforest hikes.

Make sure to plan your visit during Martinique’s exciting Carnival in February. The celebration is a riot of vibrant colours, lively music, and dance, offering an unforgettable, family-friendly experience.
