Where to stay in Guadeloupe: the different regions

Before choosing your accommodation, it’s important to understand the different islands and towns to find the perfect location based on your interests and travel style.

Located in the heart of the French West Indies, the Guadeloupe archipelago is a tropical destination renowned for its geographic and cultural diversity. Made up of five main islands—Grande-Terre, Basse-Terre, Marie-Galante, Les Saintes, and La Désirade—the region offers a variety of landscapes, from white-sand beaches to lush tropical rainforests.

The main part of Guadeloupe is butterfly-shaped and divided into two distinct wings, connected by a bridge:

• Grande-Terre, to the east, is known for its lively seaside resorts like Le Gosier, Sainte-Anne, and Saint-François. Here you'll find beautiful beaches, turquoise lagoons, and a vibrant nightlife. The coastline is lined with charming boutique hotels and luxury resorts offering ocean views and high-end services.

• Basse-Terre, to the west, is a paradise for nature lovers. Dominated by the active Soufrière volcano, it’s home to the Guadeloupe National Park, stunning waterfalls, and an exceptional variety of wildlife and flora. If you’re into nature and adventure, you’ll love the eco-lodges and rural guesthouses here, ideally located near hiking trails and waterfalls.

The surrounding islands each have their own unique charm:

Want a one-of-a-kind experience? Spend a night on a catamaran and sail between the islands, discovering hidden coves only accessible by boat.

• Marie-Galante, known as the “island of a hundred windmills,” is perfect for a peaceful getaway filled with wild beaches and traditional rum distilleries.
• Les Saintes, a small archipelago to the south made up of two main islands, offers picture-perfect scenery, colorful houses, a bay ranked among the most beautiful in the world, and world-class diving spots.
• La Désirade is less touristy and known for its authenticity and pristine beaches — perfect for travelers seeking peace and serenity.

If you're visiting for business, you’ll also find accommodations with dedicated services like meeting rooms in select hotels, such as “Awarak,” “Créole Beach,” and many others.

Guadeloupe truly has something for everyone — whether you're traveling as a couple, with family, with friends, or for work. Choosing the right accommodation ensures a memorable stay in an archipelago full of variety, where hospitality and the Creole way of life take center stage. Families will appreciate the convenience and freedom of fully equipped villas and hotel residences.

These unique accommodations, often built in harmony with their natural surroundings, offer options like treehouses in the rainforest for a truly immersive and memorable experience.
