Rental in Le Carbet, Martinique: a charming village between the sea and the mountains
Located on the north Caribbean coast of Martinique, the village of Le Carbet is an authentic place, nestled between the Caribbean Sea and Mount Pelée. With its coconut tree-lined beaches and Creole atmosphere, it appeals to travellers seeking relaxation as well as those who want to discover the iconic sites of the West Indies.

A unique place in the northern Caribbean
"I didn't know Carbet before I settled there. I found a small guesthouse just a stone's throw from the beach, and every morning I would go down to buy fresh fish directly from the fishermen. In the evening, I would sit facing the sea, a ti-punch in my hand, watching the sun disappear behind the coconut trees. This is where I really felt the heart of the Caribbean beating." Feedback from one of our customers.
The beaches and landscapes around Le Carbet
Le Carbet is located in an exceptional natural setting.
- On the sea side, you will find long beaches of grey volcanic sand, ideal for swimming, snorkelling or simply dipping your feet in the water while watching the sunset.
- On the mountain side, trails gently climb towards the tropical forest, where you can find rivers and waterfalls.
The advantage of this location is its tranquillity: far from the crowds, you will often have the beach all to yourself. With a map of the area in hand and a hire car, you can easily explore the nearby coves, chalets and lodges located all around, and discover unspoilt corners.
What to do in Le Carbet and the surrounding area?
Le Carbet is not only a charming village, it is also a convenient starting point for exploring the north of the island.
- Historical walk: a stele commemorates Christopher Columbus' landing in 1502.
- Cultural visits: the Gauguin Museum, L'habitation l'Anse Latouche and the Martinique Zoo, or the Saint-Jacques du Carbet Church... all places that bear witness to Creole and Caribbean heritage.
- Hiking: Mount Pelée dominates the entire region and offers superb hiking trails. You can also take the Trace des Jésuites, a beautiful walk in the heart of the tropical forest where you can discover rich and varied vegetation. Another option is the Canal de Beauregard, also known as the Canal des Esclaves, which offers an original walk along an old canal in the heart of nature.
- Local flavours: Between the beachside huts and the village market, treat your taste buds to grilled fish, crispy accras, fragrant colombo and tropical fruits. Remember to book a table at must-visit restaurants such as Petibonum, Wahoo Café or 1664. And for a total immersion experience, don't leave Carbet without visiting and tasting (in moderation!) the famous rum from the Distillerie Neisson.
- Water sports: Le Carbet is a true paradise for those who love the sea. Its calm waters are ideal for snorkelling or scuba diving, with some of the island's most renowned spots.
