Introducing Petit Martinique
They don’t call it Petit for nothing – this little island is a scant one mile in diameter. Small, charismatic and infrequently visited, Petit Martinique is an ideal spot to get away from everything.

With a steep volcanic core rising a stout 740ft at its center, there is little room on the island for much else. The solitary road runs up the west coast, but it is rarely used – locals prefer to walk, nothing is very far and what’s the hurry? The population subsists on the fruits of the sea. Fishermen and mariners earn their crust from the ocean.
With barely a thousand inhabitants, most of whom are related to each other, this is a place to find peace, quiet – and precious little else.
