Martinique - Dream holidays in the Caribbean

Montagne Pelée, Martinique

To which country does Martinique belong? Martinique is a French overseas department of the Lesser Antilles. With an area of 1,128 square kilometers, the heavenly island stretches from Puerto Rico to the coast of South America. What is the highest point of Martinique? The impressive volcano Montagne Pelée forms the heart of the island. The wild nature, beautiful beaches and numerous cultural sights make Martinique a popular holiday destination in the Caribbean. If you want to explore the island independently and in detail, a hired car is recommended. Don't wast your precious holidays by waiting for busses.

Martinique with a hired car

The roads on Martinique are in very good condition, only smaller side roads are often very curvy and steep. By hired car you can reach every place on the island in a maximum of one hour and along the way you can stop and rest at the charming viewpoints again and again.

In order to help you with the preparation for your trip on Martinique, we have put together a few tips for you:

• Keep a cool head! The average temperature in Martinique is around 30 degrees Celcius. To ensure that you have a good trip even in tropical temperatures, we recommend a hired car with air conditioning.

• Don't rush things! After a long flight you should treat yourself to a few quiet days before you take long excursions with the hired car. This way you can get used to the time difference and the climate.

• Car hire take over: You will find numerous car hire companies directly in the terminal at the airport. It is best to clarify in advance where you can pick up your car in order to avoid long waiting times for the shuttle service.

You can reach Fort-de-France, the capital of the island, by hired car from the airport in about 10 minutes. The centre of Martinique captivates with its large harbour and historical fortifications. If you have arrived by shuttle, you can also hire a car for your holiday here at many locations. Visit the colourful markets, the impressive flower park and the numerous colonial houses.

Today, the almost 1400-metre-high volcano Montagne Péele is inactive and a popular tourist destination. From Grand Anse you take the N3 northbound and reach the volcano in about 50 minutes. With a mountain guide you can even hike up the volcano.

In the beautiful south-east of Martinique, about 40 minutes from Fort-de-France, lies the picturesque small town of Le Marin. If you hire a car in Martinique, it is worthwhile to go there, otherwise it takes quite a long time to get there by public transport. Le Marin has beautiful bays, a large marina and many culinary adventures.

Explore Martinique in the safest way possible

Where are the best beaches on Martinique? Most of the tourist destinations and beaches are in the south of Martinique. But also the northern part of the island has a lot to offer and should not be left out. With a hired car you can travel flexibly on Martinique and can also visit the more remote areas comfortably. The traffic regulations are quite similar to those in Europe, but they should be strictly observed when you are on the road in a hired car.
