Martinique This “Island of Flowers” offers an immense diversity of
landscapes, with its beaches of white and black sand, volcanic landscape, verdant mountains and tropical forest blanketing the hills. And travellers can be the envy of all when
they treat themselves to a wellbeing week under the Martinique sun at the five-star Cap Est Lagoon Resort & Spa. A member of Relais & Chateaux, the resort is set on a peninsula just 8km from the town of Le Francois. At the hotel, everything is taken care of to ensure guests enjoy a relaxing break, with wellbeing and discreet luxury. Suites of a minimum 60 sq metres offer a little added extra and in the case of the Suite Deluxe – there’s also a small private pool facing the lagoon of crystal clear water. At Cap Est, the spa provides treatments and massages in the Comfort or Guerlain Zone and there are two restaurants, including a gastronomic eatery that will delight the taste buds of even the most refined of gourmets.
The Islands of Guadeloupe Discover the astounding setting for the popular BBC police
drama, Death in Paradise, with its rolling cast of many familiar British actors set against a Caribbean backdrop. The programme may be set on the fictional island of Saint Marie, but it is in fact filmed in Guadeloupe, which is made up of five islands, with two main ones in the shape of a butterfly – Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre. The British-French light-hearted crime drama TV series
is created by Robert Thorogood and initially starred Ben Miller and Sara Martins, but Kris Marshall and Josephine Jobert later took on the main roles. Most of the action for the TV series is filmed in Deshaies on the northwest coast of Basse-Terre, which doubles for the fictional town of Honore in the programme. And when it comes to places to stay in Guadeloupe, there are many eco-tourism residences, gites, small charming hotels and private villas, as well as four-star hotels across the islands.
