L’Anse Bleue

Top choice in Martinique


This place is very simple but somehow manages to get things just right, with 25 delightful one- or two-room bungalows spread across spacious grounds, a decent-size pool, a superb restaurant, friendly management and a peaceful location. It all adds up to make this one of the best hotels in Martinique's south. The beach is a short walk away.
