On the north coast of Basse-Terre, Sainte-Rose opens onto the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin lagoon and its turquoise waters dotted with islets. You come here for the mangrove, the sandy beaches and the rum distilleries, away from Guadeloupe's most touristy areas.
Sail the lagoon, taste the rum, go for a swim
Set off from the port to reach, by kayak or boat, the Îlet à Fajou and the sandbanks of the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin, a listed reserve where you can watch mangrove trees and birds. On land, the Reimonenq Distillery and its Rum Museum retrace the local production, while the Domaine de Séverin combines a visit, a tasting and a crayfish pond.
For swimming, Clugny beach unrolls a long ribbon of sand hemmed with coconut palms. Hiking enthusiasts climb up to the Bains de Sofaïa, warm sulfurous springs at the edge of the forest. Renting a whole house with a kitchen lets you cook fish and fruit from the market after the day.
Where to drop your bags
Our villas, houses, apartments and bungalows are spread between the town of Sainte-Rose, lively around its church and its shops, and the verdant heights facing the sea.
The Clugny area and the coast appeal to those who want the beach within walking distance, with the space and independence of a place of your own, ideal with family or friends. The inland countryside, quieter, suits nature stays, halfway between the distilleries and the trailheads. From Sainte-Rose, Deshaies, Pointe-Noire and the north of Grande-Terre remain reachable by car to roam across the whole island.

Do you need a car to stay in Sainte-Rose?

What's the best time to visit?
The dry season, from December to April, offers the most stable climate for swimming and sailing in the lagoon. The wet season, from June to November, brings rain and a risk of hurricanes. Rates and crowds rise during the year-end school holidays.
Which area should you choose depending on your stay?
For beach access on foot, aim for the Clugny area with its long stretch of sand lined with coconut trees. For a quiet nature-focused stay, opt for the inland countryside, halfway between the distilleries and the Sofaïa Baths. The town center suits those wanting shops and local life.
How can you explore the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin?
You can set out from the port of Sainte-Rose by kayak or boat to reach Fajou Islet and the sandbanks of this protected reserve. Trips should be booked in advance, especially during high season. Be sure to protect the mangrove and respect the no-navigation zones.
