A legendary French Caribbean hotel is getting new life in one of Martinique’s hottest beach towns.
The Diamant Les Bains, which first opened in 1945 as the first tourist hotel in Martinique, is slated to open in 2019 after having been completely rebuilt.
A rendering of the hotel.
The property will include a mix of five “bungalow” suites and 33 studio units with kitchenettes, along with a new bar-restaurant right on the beach and a pool with a view of the island’s famous Diamond Rock, or Le Diamant.
It’s a huge boost for a town that has quietly become a haven for in-the-know travelers, thanks to a world-class beach, a growing portfolio of eateries and, well, some of the best views on the island.
It’s the latest in a growing portfolio of new boutique hotels on the island, from the Hotel Simon in Fort de France to the hillside French Coco in Tartane.

One of the Caribbean’s most celebrated restaurants has completed its comeback from Hurricane Irma.
Le Pressoir, set in the heart of the culinary hotspot of Grand Case in St Martin, has officially reopened its doors.
The new Le Pressoir is being stewarded by executive chef, Alexis Chauvreau, who served as sous chef for former Le Pressoir Chef Franck Mear for several years.
The completely renovated eatery has preserved its Creole charm, with a bright, airy look and a new prix-fixe menu that includes a starter, a main course and a dessert.
What hasn’t changed? The outstanding wine list.
That menu will change every two weeks, according to the eatery.
Even better? Le Pressoir has also opened an adjacent cigar and rum bar next door called La Part Des Anges.
Le Pressoir was named the number one restaurant in the Caribbean by Caribbean Journal in 2016.
