Holiday villages and unusual accommodation South Caribbean

Breathtaking views of the bay of Fort-de-France, blue sea, exotic garden, fine sand… The Panoramic Hotel is a recently renovated, dreamy place, with a real commitment to sustainable development. Wood, especially mahogany, is omnipresent in all the 36 m² mini-suites which have a terrace with a view on the sea. The new decoration declines the shimmering colors of the West Indies in a resolutely contemporary style, while respecting the codes of traditional Martinican habitat. Refinement, charm and an impeccable welcome are the keywords here.

Located in the town of Trois-Îlets in Martinique, Résidence Village Créole is a 3-star apartment hotel. It is ideally located in a complex of stores and restaurants, just 6 minutes' walk from the Anse Mitan beach and 4 minutes from the Pointe du Bout ferry terminal. The Savane des esclaves museum, dedicated to slavery, is also 7 km away. The residence offers a range of accommodation types, from studios to one- and two-bedroom apartments. All units are equipped with a kitchenette, dining table, living area, Wi-Fi and TV. Some units are duplexes and attics. Guests are offered breakfast and parking is available. The hotel is also pet- and child-friendly. Guest reviews are generally positive, with an average rating of 8.2 out of 10. The hotel's strong points are its location close to the beach, shops, tourist attractions, restaurants and bars, as well as its services and facilities.

Just a stone's throw from Anse à l'Âne, this charming boutique-hotel features fully renovated apartments with new bedding, interior design and embellished terraces. The apartments (4 T2 for 2 to 4 people, 1 studio for 2 people), bright and breezy, are fully equipped and comfortable. Sandrine and Cyril, the owners, who know the island like the back of their hand, will be happy to advise you on excursions and visits. Anse-à-l'Âne beach is a 5-minute walk away. Excellent value for money. Car rental available.

An idea for an unusual stay in an idyllic setting! How would you like to sleep on board a 40-foot sailboat, peacefully anchored in the bay of Grande Anse facing the beach? This is the dream that the diving club Atao offers. No need to be an experienced sailor, no nautical skills are required, the boat stays at anchor. It's like a hotel on the water. You are welcomed at the pontoon, and then you are in total autonomy to live an adventure on board. A canoe is available to stroll around the bay and meet the turtles!

Fascinated by the history of his ancestors uprooted from Africa, Pierre-Yves Panor has created unusual accommodation adjoining the garden where he pays tribute to them, where you can spend a night in total symbiosis with nature. In this land of memory, he has built a tastefully decorated Creole hut, Kaz'a'tine, as well as tents for glamping (luxury camping). Comfort is a little basic (solar shower), but the view of the Caribbean Sea is worth the detour.
