Martinique’s natural beauty is easier to reach with new flights routes taking you to this gem in the French Caribbean!

With its crystal blue waters, natural wonders, welcoming locals and pristine weather, Martinique is everything you could possibly want in a Caribbean vacation. And now it’s even easier to reach the island than ever before for Americans.

Norwegian Air has added new non-stop flights to Martinique’s capital of Fort-de-France from New York City (JFK), Baltimore/Washington, D.C. (BWI) and Boston (BOS) that will begin December 3. Travelers can look forward to introductory fares starting at $79 one way from each of those airports, and $99 one-way fares coming from Martinique.

But you may not need to spend a dime on your French Caribbean getaway. It’s true! You can win a four-night stay for two at the fabulous four-star Bakoua Hotel anytime between September 2015 and 2016. All you have to do is click here to enter the contest.

Martinique’s collection of villas and hotels are second to none. From relaxing spas to impeccable ocean views, you’ll find a place you may not want to leave. These hotels are more affordable than ever with the U.S. Dollar’s exchange rate being nearly 1:1 with the Euro. Let’s take a closer look at some of the choicest hotels and villas on the island.

Bakoua Hotel

Get a taste of local architecture at this beautiful hotel in Pointe-du-Bout. Magnificent views of Fort-de-France Bay will no doubt have you snapping some incredible photos, while the West-Indies style of the property and its surrounding tropical garden will whisk you away to another world.

Villa Alice Bay

If an impeccable view of the ocean is what you want, then you want to stay at Villa Alice Bay. You can relax on a private jetty or lounge around the pool. This cozy villa will make you feel like a million bucks with rooms with the finest linens, personal housekeeper and several modern amenities.

Le Domaine de Fonds Blancs

Head to the east coast of the island, to Pointe Cerisier, to stay along the most exclusive and famous areas of Martinique at Le Domaine des Fonds Blancs. This luxury property resides on almost 183,000 square feet, offering one of the prettiest views on the island with luscious vegetation and a stunning turquoise lagoon.

La Pagerie Hotel

If you’re looking for an upscale hotel, we suggest giving the La Pagerie Hotel a try. This property is just 20 minutes from downtown Fort-de-France via ferry. But you may not spend too much time away from the isolated beach that’s well within walking distance.
