Honeymoon in Martinique
The refined French touch in the heart of the Antilles
Honeymoon Score
Overview
Martinique combines the best of both worlds: France's infrastructure, safety, and gastronomy with the Caribbean's sun, turquoise water, and tropical warmth. Dominated by Mount Pelée, it offers honeymooners a lush rainforest for hiking, white and black sand beaches, historic rum distilleries, and an unmatched fusion of Creole flavors.
Pros
- Security and EU standards (Euro currency) in the heart of the Caribbean
- Creole cuisine fused with excellent high French gastronomy
Cons
- Fluency in French is almost essential for daily interactions
- Hurricane season from August to October which is best avoided
