Where to stay in Guadeloupe?

Guadeloupe covers more than 1600 sq.m.As a result of so much to do, we recommend a two-week stay to fully take advantage of the riches the island has to offer, especially if you wish to spend a few days on the other islands of the archipelago (Les Saintes, La Désirade, Marie-Galante, etc.).

How to choose between Grande-Terre and Basse-Terre?

The solution would be not to choose and to discover both parts of the island! However, if you're planning to stay for only one week, we suggest that you choose either Grande-Terre or Basse-Terre, unless you don't mind spending a lot of time driving! You can also stay in the town of Gosier whose more central location makes it possible to fan out more easily over the island of Guadeloupe.

Staying in Grande-Terre in Guadeloupe

Grande-Terre is the part of the island with the most resorts. The towns of Sainte-Anne and Saint-François are known for their lively atmosphere. Many restaurants and bars border magnificent white sand beaches. Sports lovers will enjoy the wide range of activities available. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, the international Saint-François golf course features 18 holes. Water sports enthusiasts will have have many things to discover. The Gros Sable Beach in Sainte-Anne is renowned for surfing and the Bois Jolan Beach between Sainte-Anne and Saint-François for kitesurfing. One of Guadeloupe's most visited sights is also in Saint-François, namely Pointe des Châteaux.

Staying in Basse-Terre in Guadeloupe

Basse-Terre is mountainous and the tropical forest is much more present. A large portion of Basse-Terre is home to the Natural Park of Guadeloupe. This part of Guadeloupe is geared more towards nature lovers. Waterfalls (Chutes du Carbet , cascade Paradis, cascade aux écrevisses), hot springs (bassin paradise, bain des amours) hiking (La Soufrière is a must-see)—your days will be filled with exploring!

The island boasts many exceptional spots including the Réserve Cousteau in Bouillante where tropical fish and sea turtles quietly go about their business. Guadeloupe also has hundreds of underwater wrecks to explore! Lastly, rum lovers will also be busy, as Guadeloupe has a number of distilleries including Montebello, Damoiseau and Bologne.

Why choose to visit both of Guadeloupe's main islands?

It would be incorrect to speak of one Guadeloupe. The destination of Guadeloupe is in fact a group of islands. This archipelago comprises the main islands of Guadeloupe (Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre), plus Marie-Galante, La Désirade andLes Saintes.

Each island has its own personality. The Bay of Saintes is one of the most beautiful in the world and you'll enjoy discovering Terre de bas on foot or Terre de haut by scooter (Les Saintes is composed of 7 small islands with two of the islands inhabited). Marie-Galante, the "big pancake", is famous for the beauty of its beaches and its rum. The land of this island of 100 windmills is mainly covered in sugar cane. Lastly, Désirade off the coast of Grande-Terre is like taking a step back in time.

Express des îles provides ferry service to Basse-Terre, Grande-Terre, Les Saintes and Marie-Galante. To reach Désirade, several companies provided round-trip service from Saint-François, including Babou One, La Somade - le Colibri, Comatrile and Archipel 1.

What are Guadeloupe's most beautiful beaches?

It's so hard to choose, there are so many beautiful beaches in Guadeloupe! Here are a few suggestions!

The beaches of Grande-Terre

In Grande-Terre, we recommend Caravelle Beach. It is located near Club-Med in Sainte-Anne. There are two advantages—being able to rent beach chairs and having a drink at the bar! Families will enjoy Bois Jolan Beach because the water is very calm. Raisins Clairs Beach in Saint-François also provides a pleasant setting for families.

The beaches of Basse-Terre

Special mention goes to Anse de la Perle Beach between Sainte-Rose and Pointe-Noire. Snorkeling enthusiasts can explore to their heart's content! Grande Anse Beach in Deshaies is also very well-known. Lined with palm trees, it's the ideal spot for a picnic in the shade with family or friends. It should be noted that you can take in beautiful sunsets on the beaches of Deshaies!
