Skip the crowded Caribbean hot spots and go off-the-beaten-path instead with a trip to Martinique. The island offers travelers privacy, French sophistication and world-class service in a stunning tropical paradise. The destination also recently opened a variety of ultra-luxury villas, transforming the Island of Flowers into the Caribbean’s new iconic destination for celebrities, honeymooners and luxury travelers.

Villa Diamond Rock is an architectural dream in Le Diamant, offering direct beach access, a beautiful infinity pool and views of iconic Diamond Rock. Over at Villa Malawi, located in Martinique’s yachting destination, guests won’t have to worry about a single thing thanks to a dedicated concierge service. Larger groups will love Villa d’Este, with its waterfront location, spacious living areas, expansive terraces and direct access to the water.

No matter what villa you choose, Martinique’s properties will make you feel like you are staying at your own boutique resort thanks to its private chefs, yacht charters and 24/7 concierge services.
