Rejuvenating experience
The Jardin de Balata is one of Martinique's must-see sites, classified as a Remarkable Garden and awarded several times by Tripadvisor.
Located on the Route de la Trace, just a few minutes from Fort-de-France, it offers a unique immersion into the heart of tropical nature.
Created in 1982 by Jean-Philippe Thoze, the garden was developed around a Creole house steeped in history.
It is home to over 3,000 tropical species, including rare palms, hibiscus, heliconias and porcelain roses.
A veritable natural refuge, it is also a great place to spot many birds, including the emblematic hummingbirds.
The suspended walkways in the canopy offer a spectacular experience at a height of almost 15 metres.
They offer exceptional views over the bay of Fort-de-France and the Pitons du Carbet.
A blend of biodiversity, heritage and Creole tradition, the Jardin de Balata will appeal to young and old alike.
It's a place of discovery, contemplation and reconnection with nature.
An enchanted interlude in the heart of Martinique.
