A jewel of Martinican rhum agricole, set on a former sugar estate at the foot of Mont Pelée in Saint-Pierre, rebuilt after the catastrophic 1902 eruption destroyed the original plantation. The Depaz family estate produces acclaimed aged expressions using a double-column still and volcanic-soil sugarcane. Visitors tour the estate's restored Creole manor house, gardens, distillery, and barrel-aging chai before tasting the celebrated Blue Cane, XO, and single-vintage millésime rums.

The most famous beach in Martinique, a long arc of white sand backed by coconut palms at the island's southern tip. Calm, shallow turquoise waters and nearby mangrove trails make it perfect for a full day out.
