Travel in Guadeloupe

A preserved island, green and blue.

Guadeloupe spreads its butterfly wings at the heart of the Caribbean archipelago. To the west, Basse-Terre — mountainous, volcanic and cloaked in rainforest — offers some of the best-preserved nature in the Antilles.

Far from mass tourism, you travel at the island's own pace: empty coves, cool rivers, colourful markets and sunsets over the Caribbean. The green of the jungle, the blue of the ocean.

Beaches without the crowds

Golden or volcanic-black sand, coconut palms and calm waters: the Leeward Coast's beaches stay quiet, even in high season.

A sea to explore

The Cousteau Reserve shelters some of the finest seabeds in the Antilles — turtles, corals and tropical fish; a mask and snorkel are all you need.

The Creole art of living

Agricultural rum, spiced cuisine, a ti-punch at sunset and gwoka music: Guadeloupe is as much lived as it is visited.
