There is a good selection of hotels on Martinique; 10 per cent service is charged, sometimes with other government taxes added. The Relais de la Martinique is an association of small hotels, often called Relais Créoles, and guest houses offering special reservation and tour facilities. Hotels range from deluxe, to medium- and low-priced. For further information, contact the tourist office, or Maison de la France (see Top Things To See and Do).

Gîtes (furnished apartments or bungalows) are widely available.

Visitors can pitch a tent almost anywhere in Martinique: mountains, forests and most beaches. Tropicamp at Gros Raisins Plage and Nid Tropical at Anse à L'Âne are two sites offering full amenities for campers.
