Most romantic spots in Martinique

Lovers will find plenty of spots on the island of Martinique that fan the flames of new love and rekindle the romance of couples renewing their vows via an exotic island sojourn.

• Called the “Isle of Flowers” love will be in bloom along with an incredible variety of anthuriums at MacIntosh Plantation in the north.
• With tropical flowers everywhere, another botanical garden worthy of a romantic stroll is Jardin de Balata. Here, visitors indulge in the sight of more than a thousand species of plants, trees and flowers nestled on the heights overlooking the capital city of Fort-de-France.
• For nature-loving couples, we advise taking a hike. There’s an outstanding trail that links Precheur to the Pelee at Grande Savane.
• The Pelee Volcano is a definite “must see”. Hot springs that almost reach boiling temperatures gush from the depths of the Pelee Volcano, creating a sizzling atmosphere guaranteed to add a spark to any relationship.
• Josephine and Napoleon were two of history’s most famous lovers and Empress Josephine is Martinique’s most famous native daughter. At the Pagerie Museum, lovers can walk through the ruins of the house in which Josephine was born and relive the passion of her one great love.
• Archaeology buffs will find the Departmental Museum fascinating. It features pre-Columbian archaeology, with more than 2,000 pieces that trace the history of Martinique’s original Arawak and Carib people.
• Let the thrill of gaming at the casinos in the Meridien Hotel or Bateliere Plazza pave the way for an evening where passions run hot.
• After mingling with the casino crowds, bring down the pace with cocktails and a slow dance at one of the capital city’s clubs and cabarets.
• Stroll arm-in-arm through the colorful shopping district of Fort-de-France and stop for an intimate lunch at one of the many outdoor cafes.
• Head south to one of the sandy beaches on the island’s south shore and laze in the sun, side-by-side, oblivious to everything but each other.
• The Butterfly Garden located in Carbet on the grounds of Father Jean Baptiste du Tertre is a beautiful ecosystem filled with flowers and butterflies. The garden’s purpose is to restore the island’s ecosystem. One can also find music, dance, and art as both artists and musicians flock to this park.
