The Islands of Guadeloupe Made up of five islands, the Guadeloupe archipelago is a
Unesco Biosphere Reserve, one of just 25 of its kind in the world. Packed with stunning natural beauty and intoxicating Creole culture, its breathtaking sites include La Désirade, the largest geological nature reserve of France’s overseas territories. The volcanic
thermal waters of the islands are also a real highlight, providing an appealing wellbeing activity. For culture, a trip should be made to see the Mémorial
ACTe in Pointe-à-Pitre. Opened just last year and located on the site of a former sugar factory, it is a cultural center dedicated to the history of the slavery trade. When it comes to somewhere to stay, Aqualodge is an

unusual accommodation option that offers something new for Guadeloupe, while the renovated La Creole Beach Hotel & Spa is a sophisticated choice. And of course, any fans of the popular BBC TV series Death in Paradise will love to know that it was filmed in Guadeloupe.
Martinique It’s not just the year-round sunshine that appeals about this
Caribbean island, but its natural beauty, diverse landscapes, heritage and general joie de vivre! Whether enjoying a cruise, exploring high up in the extraordinary Jardin de Balata, contemplating the bay of Fort-de-France, or relaxing on its seductive coastline, there’s plenty to do here. An essential aspect of the island is Carnaval (the next one
takes place in February), known as the party “par excellence” in the Antilles. Everyone enjoys the festivities, as parades of floats and costumed revellers take over the streets, with music, dancing and chanting in evidence at every turn. At the heart of daily life are Creole gardens, defined by
techniques from days when gardens were a source of sustenance for all – among those you can visit is the Monique Creole Garden at Perou. With its agricultural AOC guaranteed-quality rum an integral part of the island’s heritage, another thing that must be tried is the Grand Rums route, which focuses on this aspect of Martinique’s past. And when thinking of where to stay, Le Cap Est Lagoon Resort & Spa is a charming five-star choice.
Carnaval is a fun and lively time to visit the island of Martinique
