A tourism property for sale in Martinique serves two kinds of guests: holidaymakers from mainland France, Europe and North America during the northern winter, and family or business visitors who travel all year. The southern coves, from Les Trois-Îlets to Le Diamant and Sainte-Anne, are the heart of beach and sailing holidays; the Atlantic coast, from Le François to the Caravelle peninsula, offers shallow white-sand lagoons and a wilder shore; the north, with Mount Pelée, the Route de la Trace, Saint-Pierre and the agricultural rum distilleries, draws hikers and heritage lovers. The Le Marin marina makes the island a sailing charter base.
Tourism properties take many forms: small boutique hotels, self-catering holiday residences, resort complexes combining bungalows, pool and restaurant, sea-view villas with several units and former sugar estates converted for guests. This page covers the whole island and is meant for investors considering a hotel purchase, buyers taking over a trading business and owners preparing a sale.

The ma-propriete.fr DVF observatory does not cover Martinique, so value is built up layer by layer. Land first: scarce and expensive wherever there is a Caribbean view or a beach within walking distance, especially in the south. Then the buildings: number of rooms or units, hurricane and earthquake design, roofs, water tanks, solar power. Finally the business, judged on turnover and EBITDA (EBE in French accounts) over recent seasons and on reliance on booking platforms. Supply mostly takes the form of small multi-unit residences, and the benchmark location is the southern Caribbean coast.
Buyers looking for a hotel in Martinique face three families. Boutique hotels, usually with a modest number of rooms, sit on southern hillsides or by a cove and rely on high rates and loyal guests. Holiday residences are split into apartments, often owned by several investors and run under commercial leases: read those leases before any offer. Resort complexes around Pointe du Bout in Les Trois-Îlets or Sainte-Anne combine rooms, bungalows, restaurant, pool and water sports. Several closed hotels, some abandoned, are also looking for buyers: a low price hides compliance and asbestos-removal costs that must be costed precisely. Browse hotels for sale and inns and restaurants with rooms.
An owner's villa with timber bungalows, or a small residence of several apartments with a pool, is the island's other main format. Each unit is a furnished tourist let to be declared and registered. See gîtes for sale in Martinique and B&Bs in Martinique.
Former estates with a main house and gardens host weddings and seminars: see event venues in Martinique. Eco-lodges and treehouses in the northern forest are listed under glamping sites. Campsites are rare.
The sale covers the building, transferred before a notary, and where relevant the business (goodwill, name, contracts, equipment). A hotel is a public-access building (ERP) needing fire-safety approval; its 1-to-5-star rating from Atout France lasts 5 years. The restaurant or drinks licence and operating permit must be transferable. Furnished holiday lets fall under the Le Meur Act of 19 November 2024, which extends registration nationwide and gives local councils more powers: check the applicable rules with the town hall. The seafront strip known as the cinquante pas géométriques belongs to the State: check the title and the legality of any building there. High season is the dry carême of the northern winter; the wetter hivernage is hurricane season. The island has high seismic risk: ask for a structural survey. On the Atlantic side, assess exposure to sargassum seaweed.
Start from three years of accounts, occupancy by season, average room rate and payroll taken over. Cost the hurricane and earthquake upgrades, then compare the income value with the land value alone.
It depends on the operator's lease and strength and on the state of shared areas. For direct letting, test your figures with our holiday rental simulator (in French).
Add purchase costs, estimated with the notary fee calculator (in French), compliance works and cash for the low season.
