Relaxation and water sports



You’ll first want to decide on what you want to do and which beach best accommodates that goal. Luxury Columnist shares that if you visit the northern part of the country, you’ll come across sparsely populated, magical beaches, which make an ideal environment for unwinding and connecting with yourself in nature. If you’re okay with the crowds and want to participate in water sports and maybe even stay at a luxury resort, then your best bet is visiting the east or west coast. The Times listed Le Morne, Il aux Cerfs, and Flic en Flac as the top three beaches.

For those who want a sense of adventure in addition to serene sights, you’ll want to pack your day with ocean activities. Take a sea kayaking tour with Yemaya Adventures. Its tours are three hours and take you through mangroves and lagoons. You can also rent kayaks and explore on a solo trip. Yemaya Adventures is located in the northern city of Calodyne. Alternatively, you can go windsurfing and/or sailing. Wild Wind Sailing Center is a great place to take a sailing lesson or rent different types of boats for sailing and windsurfing. It’s located in the northern city of Mont Choisy.

Sea life abounds in the waters of the country. You can observe them by taking a cruise, snorkeling, or diving. Viator recommends LydiaBoat for dolphin cruises. You get a chance to swim with the mammals as well as potentially see whales.

For those wanting to indulge in maximum relaxation, you’ll want to book a stay at La Palmiste Resort & Spa. It’s right near the beach and has a spa that offers everything from massages and pedicures to henna tattoos.
