"It's the best, the most fertile, the sweetest, the most even, the most charming country there is in the world. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen." Christopher Columbus discovering Martinique on June 15th, 1502. Maison d'Ô is a Martinican company. We want to make our beautiful island known and loved by offering the best possible experiences to our guests.

A land's end feeling, a view that offers total escape at the price of a long path of earth and stones: the ingredients for a slowlife holiday are all here! Yet we are less than 15 minutes from the town of Le François and all its amenities, and right in the center of the Atlantic coast. Maison d'Ô Pointe Thalémont sits on a rocky headland evoking a ship bow. On its port side, a tiny private creek, all pebbles, nestled in its stone setting. Starting here, we like to swim across the bay. To starboard, a modest fishermen's beach. When they let us know they're back, we head down to pick up some fresh fish. Thanks to its elevated position, the house is generally well ventilated, and is not affected by the smell of sargassum. This rustic lodge offers the comfort of a large swimming pool, refreshing trade winds and a hammock between two coconut palms. It sits on a carpet of greenery that adds a touch of softness to these intimidating horizons. We must confess to a departure from the slowlife concept... We opted for Starlink, the best Internet operator available in Martinique: unlimited broadband - the ball's in your court! The second floor is dedicated to parents, with a large bedroom (queen-size bed + desk) and a small independent shower room. The first floor features a twin bedroom and a double bedroom, each with its own bathroom. There's also a large living room, an open kitchen and a vast carbet, an architectural feature inherited from native Indians. As you will be living inside screen sceneries, there is no television. We take care to communicate with you every step of the way, from booking to departure, and if you can think of anything missing for a near-perfect stay, please let us know!

Our enchantments in Le François, our flowery little town on the Atlantic coast: * The islets and their "fonds blancs", those turquoise shallow waters spots in the middle of the coral reef, best destination for water excursions. * The Plein Soleil table d'hôtes, a fine restaurant neighboring our home. A little further afield, La Ferme des Orchidées, Lili au Lagon, Le Flamant Rose, La Voile, etc. not forgetting traditional cuisine: Kaï Nono and Chez Milo in particular. * L'Habitation Clément, a beautiful heritage and cultural site. * Habitation du Simon, home to the A1710 distillery, which produces top-of-the-range artisanal rums, and Compagnie du Rhum, a boutique specializing in Caribbean rums. * L'Arboretum Village d'Antan, the kingdom of traditional plants: medicinal, food-producing and ornamental. Beyond Le François, Martinique is a French Caribbean island with much to discover. It's a very charming mix of French and Caribbean cultures in a tropical jewel. We'll give you the contacts you need to plan a unique stay.
