Martinique This French Caribbean island will make you feel like you’re actually in France — except with spectacular beaches, the world’s best rum and lush rainforests. It’s just about the most developed island in the Caribbean, from roads that are as good as the ones you find in mainland France to sprawling supermarkets and perhaps the region’s most underrated culinary scene. This is like moving to Europe — but it’s just three hours from mainland America and has all of the things you love about the Caribbean.
