This Playlist Will Take You to Martinique

Ahead of Martinique’s reopening to travelers from the United States, the Martinique Tourism Authority has unveiled a new Spotify playlist that showcases the sounds of the French Caribbean island. 

It’s called Martinique Caribbean Vibes, and the playlist features 80 songs from both the island’s traditional and contemporary music — for a total of 6 hours of Martinique sound. 

That includes everyone from Jocelyne Béroard, the Martinique-born lead singer of renowned Zouk band Kassav to up-and-coming local artist like Kalash, Paille, Tittof and Meryl. 

It’s a range of genres from Zouk to  Bèlè, Chouval Bwa and Biguine. 

“Music is in our DNA, and launching our Martinique Caribbean Vibes Spotify playlist is the perfect way to celebrate and share our culture. We wish to bring joy and food for the soul to our listeners during this time” said Karine Mousseau, Martinique Tourism Commissioner. “We are blessed by so many signature styles and iconic artists, listening to our music is a great way to taste the Isle of Flowers.’’

Four Seasons Reopens Resort in Anguilla

Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts has officially reopened its resort on the island of Anguilla, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The Four Seasons Resort and Residences relaunched operations on Nov. 19. 

It’s the second Four Seasons resort to reopen in the Caribbean, following this month’s relaunch of the Four Seasons Resort Nevis. 

The 181-room resort has a mix of 70 rooms, 50 suites, 24 villas, 24 townhomes and 33 residences. 

That’s along with amenities like an 8,100-square-foot spa, an NBA-regulation basketball court and 1,000 feet of beachfront on Barnes and Meads Bay. 

Anguilla reopened for tourism in August. 

This month, the island entered the next phase of its reopening that included the relaunch of select hotels and resorts. (That includes several that have already reopened, including Belmond Cap Juluca, the CuisinArt Resort and Tranquility Beach, among others).

Travelers still must apply to visit Anguilla (you can find more information on that here), either coming for “quick dips” of five days or less or choosing extended stay options of up to three months, with a tiered pricing structure for visitors depending on their length of stay. 

Anguilla has also launched a program that can allow remote workers to stay for up to a year on the island.
