Martinique’s sheer variety of natural landscapes has to be seen to be believed. From the volcanic north, dominated by the majestic Mount Pelée, with an elevation of 1,397 metres, to the white sandy beaches of the south caressed by turquoise waters, each region of the island reveals its own unique character. The wild, wave-lashed eastern coast contrasts with the calm bays of the west. In the heart of the island, lush tropical forests beckon for adventure, while towns and villages brim with cultural, culinary, and historical treasures.
