5 Best Nightlife in Martinique

At Club Med Buccaneer's Creek, you can buy a night pass that will give you all the food, drinks, and entertainment you can handle from 7 pm until the disco closes at 1 am. While it comes at a hefty price, it includes an extensive buffet dinner with wine, a show in the theater, and drinks and dancing afterward. Friday is the best night to come since both the food and shows are most elaborate. Entertainment changes based on a two-week cycle. Following the show, it's on to dancing at the disco if you can hang.

The quality entertainment here ranges from piano concerts to singers to jazz combos on up to full swimsuit fashion shows or splashy variety shows. You can also go to the hotel's waterfront Le Coco Bar or the tropical Le Gommier bar and order a cocktail. There's a litany of island rums, from white to amber and rhum vieux. It's usually best to call the hotel first to learn what's on the schedule, since events taper off during the low season.

Cap Macabou in Vauclin has "dancing dinners" and theme nights, most often on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, there's usually a midday buffet with dancing to a band—you can even bring your bathing suit. There are often salsa soirees with Latin music, as well as holiday parties in season, which are quite celebratory.

This two-story bar and gourmet food boutique has live entertainment on weekends and a sophisticated bar with tables, some on a small terrace. The cuisine is contemporary Italian, the presentation is artistic, and the service is praiseworthy. It serves late into the night, closing at midnight, and it opens at 11 am for lunch.

If you want European specialties, this restaurant-bar is the place to be. The duck breast burger is a must-try. On weekends, there is a live band or DJ.
