Basse-Terre, the western wing of Guadeloupe, is all about green: the tropical rainforest of the National Park, the Soufrière volcano, and a coast alternating sandy beaches with coral seabeds. You come here to hike, dive, and take your time far from the hustle and bustle.
Climb, dive, taste
Tackle the Soufrière starting from Saint-Claude, then cool off at the Carbet Falls and the Cascade aux Écrevisses, along the Route de la Traversée. On the sea side, the Cousteau Reserve and the Pigeon islets, off Bouillante, offer snorkeling and diving among the turtles; Grande Anse beach in Deshaies and Malendure beach complete the picture.
The Deshaies Botanical Garden, the coffee plantations of Vieux-Habitants, and the distilleries of Sainte-Rose add a gourmet dimension. With your own kitchen, you can come back from the Sainte-Rose market to cook ouassous and breadfruit at your own pace.
Where to unpack your bags
Deshaies charms with its fishing harbor and coves, ideal for a first beach stay. Bouillante and Pointe-Noire, more off the beaten path, suit fans of diving and nature. Sainte-Rose opens onto the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin and its mangroves.
To get around easily, Baie-Mahault and Petit-Bourg put the airport and Pointe-à-Pitre within reach. Capesterre-Belle-Eau and Vieux-Habitants, amid banana and coffee fields, appeal to those seeking rural authenticity. Our whole houses, villas, and apartments, often with outdoor space, leave plenty of room for families and gatherings of friends.

Do you need a car to stay in Basse-Terre?
Yes, a car is highly recommended. Pointe-à-Pitre–Le Raizet Airport is located in Grande-Terre, about 25 minutes from Baie-Mahault. Sites such as La Soufrière, the Carbet Falls, or the Cousteau Reserve are spread out and poorly served by public transport. Renting a vehicle makes getting around much easier.
What is the best time to visit?
The dry season, from December to April, offers the most stable weather for hiking and diving. From July to November is the rainy and hurricane season, with frequent showers. May and June remain pleasant and quieter, falling between the two main tourist periods.
Which area should I choose depending on my stay?
For the beach and a first visit, Deshaies and its coves are a great fit. Bouillante and Pointe-Noire appeal to divers near the Cousteau Reserve. Sainte-Rose opens onto the mangroves of the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin. Baie-Mahault and Petit-Bourg keep you close to the airport and Pointe-à-Pitre for easy day trips.
Can you cook with local produce on site?
Yes, our entire rentals come with a fully equipped kitchen. Head to the Sainte-Rose market to pick up crayfish (ouassous), breadfruit, and spices, then cook at your own pace. The coffee plantations of Vieux-Habitants and the distilleries of Sainte-Rose are a great addition to your gourmet shopping.
