Martinique Welcomes its First Hostel

Martinique’s budget accommodations have expanded with the opening of the new Centre International de Séjour, the island’s first-ever hostel.

Located in Etang Z’Abricots on the outskirts of the capital city of Fort-de-France just 10 km from Aimé Césaire International Airport, the five-story facility opened in June 2008 with 65 rooms (130 beds). Six specially equipped wheelchair accessible rooms are also available for disabled visitors. Rates for private rooms start at just 75 EUR per room, per night.

All rooms are equipped with private baths, satellite TV, telephones and Wi-Fi Internet connectivity. Guests staying on the fourth and fifth floors also enjoy sweeping views of Fort-de-France and its beautiful bay, while everyone enjoys free daily breakfast, free parking, luggage storage, daily linen service, use of on-site meeting rooms and 24-hour security.

For dining, the Centre International de Séjour Martinique offers guests restaurant-quality cuisine and service at reasonable prices. The on-site restaurant offers a wide range of menu options, including Creole, French and international dishes, and can accommodate 250 people.
