Accommodation in Martinique, at the heart of the south
A prime location at Pointe du Bout
Set at Pointe du Bout, in the town of Les Trois-Îlets, Hôtel Carayou enjoys a position few properties can claim in the south of the island. Ideally located, this Martinique hotel looks onto the Bay of Fort-de-France, ranked among the most beautiful in the Caribbean, which opens up before you from your private balcony as from the pool terrace. A short walk away, the village of Anse Mitan unfolds its boutiques, bars, restaurants and marina, while the pale sand begins where the hotel's tropical garden ends, in a preserved natural environment a step from the village centre.
Excursions and sights to discover nearby
This address also makes an ideal base for exploring the whole island, a destination of real variety. Martinique offers a variety of landscapes within a short drive: the tropical rainforest classed as a nature reserve, Mount Pelée and Le Carbet to the north, the Jardin de Balata and the historical town of Saint-Pierre, all worth a visit for a day of discovery. Sun seekers head to Sainte-Luce, Sainte-Anne, Le Diamant and its iconic rock, or the white sand of Le François for an unforgettable trip out to sea, mask and snorkel in hand. On the Atlantic side, La Trinité opens another face of the region, while some travellers even push the adventure to Saint Lucia or Basse-Terre for a day excursion.
Les Trois-Îlets deserves time of its own. This village, known for its craft market, its pottery workshops and its heritage, appeals to anyone after an authentic Martinique. Minutes from the hotel, you wander between the stalls, taste local specialities and take in the island culture, far from the well-worn tourist circuits.
The south of Martinique runs to the rhythm of seaside tourism without losing its pockets of wild nature and wild coastline. Nearby, the listed coves of Les Anses-d'Arlet line up postcard sands and seabeds perfect for snorkelling, with Grande Anse a local favourite, while the north leads up to Grand-Rivière at the foot of dramatic peaks. In summer, between two swims, take the time to visit the Musée de la Pagerie, close to the centre, to uncover the island's incredible history and culture.
How to reach Martinique and Pointe du Bout
From mainland France, reaching this stay in the French West Indies is simple. A direct flight lands at Aimé Césaire international airport in Fort-de-France, then a few minutes by ferry are enough to cross the bay and step ashore at Pointe du Bout. Distance will never be a barrier to your holiday: the shuttle from the airport and the regular boat are already part of the escape. In the morning, the crossing reveals a first postcard, that of sailboats anchored in the bay and green ridges drawn in the distance.
The all-inclusive formula: a carefree stay
Booking accommodation in Martinique on an all-inclusive basis means thinking about nothing but the pleasure of the moment. Full board covers the comfortable room, facing the open sea or the tropical garden, the breakfast buffet each morning, lunches and dinners, entry to the two swimming pools with loungers, the nautical and aquatic activities, entertainment for young and old, drinks and the wellness area. The private beach sits a few steps away, in direct and exclusive access for hotel guests.
The formula has been designed for every budget. Whether you choose a garden view, more affordable, or a higher-end sea view, the level of service and the quality of the amenities and facilities stay the same. That is rare, excellent value for money for a hotel of this standing on the seafront, appealing to couples after quiet as much as to families enjoying the island in peak season. No working out the bill, no last-minute surprises: the price is known in advance, and the urge to come back settles in on day one. On the practical side, free parking and wifi, an attentive welcome and easy online booking and check-in round off an address you can rely on for a successful holiday.
Rooms with a sea view designed for a change of scene
The hotel has 132 air-conditioned rooms of around 25 sqm, decorated in a warm, characterful creole spirit. Comfort leaves nothing to chance: a 160 cm double bed, a bathroom with a wide rain shower, a flat-screen television, a safe, air conditioning and free wifi. In the morning, you only have to open the shutters to let in the light of the West Indies and the scent of the tropical greenery next door.
The Sea View category opens straight onto the turquoise sea of the Caribbean. It is the favourite choice of couples dreaming of a romantic trip: waking to face the bay, coffee in hand, with the lush landscape of Martinique on the horizon, remains a privilege only a hotel of this quality can provide.
For a stay with family or friends, the garden-view rooms sink into the tropical greenery, quiet, a few metres from the pool, each with its own balcony and a real sense of privacy. Each category answers a different wish, from a weekend for two to a long week of holiday.
Conceived as a residence on a human scale with a boutique feel rather than a faceless resort, the hotel keeps a friendly mood where the staff quickly recognise their regulars. Larger parties or groups of friends easily book several rooms side by side, while solo guests enjoy a safe, welcoming, family-friendly setting, ideal to unwind. Whatever your profile, the accommodation adapts to the length of stay, from a single night to several weeks. Whichever category you choose, you sleep in peace, windows open onto the light of the West Indies and the quiet coast.
Wellness, restaurant and services by the Caribbean
Hôtel Carayou brings together the full range of services expected of an upscale property set on the Caribbean coast.
A spa inspired by island nature
The spa features massages, body treatments and rituals inspired by local nature, a welcome moment of relaxation after a hike on the heights or a long afternoon on the sand. Guests come to unwind at the end of the afternoon, when the light softens over the tropical greenery and calm sets in. A French touch and additional treatments are available on request.
A creole and international table
At the table, the in-house restaurant blends island cooking and international flavours in a setting open onto the tropical landscape, from a generous breakfast to a dinner with local accents, accras, grilled fish and seasonal fruit to match.
Seminars
Easy check-in and check-out, clear booking and cancellation terms to check and a helpful, tourist-savvy team make arrivals smooth. The hotel also hosts groups and seminars, with dedicated spaces facing the lagoon, ideal to combine work and West Indian living during a professional event.
Water sports, pools and leisure
Holidaymakers enjoy the water sports included in the formula, kayak, paddle and snorkelling, at no additional cost. Hire of a kayak or paddle gear is included too, so you can explore the bay at your own pace. The two outdoor swimming pools, edged with loungers and turned toward the open sea, invite a morning dip as much as a sunlit afternoon pause. Fancy more adventure? Diving, sailing and hiking outings are easily arranged from the marina close by. The village of Pointe du Bout, with its shops, bars, restaurants and pontoons, rounds off the superb leisure available a short walk from the hotel, with fabulous views along the coast.
