Petit-Canal, Grande-Terre
The eastern wing of Guadeloupe, Grande-Terre lines up white-sand beaches, lagoons sheltered by the coral reef, and cane fields swept by the trade winds. Between the Pointe des Châteaux and the markets of Pointe-à-Pitre, you shift from lazing around to exploring without ever getting bored.
Swim, walk, savor
Start with the southern beaches: the lagoon at Sainte-Anne and Bois-Jolan beach for calm water, La Caravelle for fine sand. In Saint-François, follow the coast to the Pointe des Châteaux, where a trail leads to the cross overlooking the Atlantic and the island of La Désirade.
To the north, the Pointe de la Grande Vigie and the Porte d'Enfer offer spectacular cliffs and easy hikes. When it comes to flavors, stop at the spice market in Pointe-à-Pitre, taste bokit and accras, or hop over to Marie-Galante and its agricultural rum distilleries. With a whole home to yourself, you can cook the catch of the day brought back from the market and plan your days at your own pace.
Where to unpack your bags
Sainte-Anne and Saint-François bring together our villas and apartments closest to the beaches, perfect for a family stay with your own kitchen and terrace. Le Gosier, livelier, appeals with its restaurants and nightlife, a short distance from Pointe-à-Pitre.
Le Moule and Anse-Bertrand, quieter, please fans of surf spots and wild coastlines. For a complete change of scenery, Capesterre-de-Marie-Galante opens onto the gentle atmosphere of the neighboring island. Petit-Canal and Les Abymes round out our selection across Grande-Terre.

Always check the detailed reviews and amenities of each property before booking, particularly air conditioning and the view.
How do you get to Grande-Terre, and do you need a car?
Pôle Caraïbes Airport, in Les Abymes, serves all of Guadeloupe and is located in the heart of Grande-Terre. From there, it's about 30 minutes to Sainte-Anne and 45 minutes to Saint-François. A rental car is highly recommended: the beaches, markets and headlands are spread out and poorly served by public transport.
What's the best time to visit?
The dry season, from December to April, offers the most pleasant climate, with trade winds tempering the heat. From July to October, the rainy season coincides with cyclone risk and higher humidity. May, June and November remain quieter in terms of visitor numbers while still offering good sunshine.
Which area should you choose depending on your stay?
Sainte-Anne and Saint-François suit families looking for calm lagoons and nearby beaches. Le Gosier is appealing for its restaurants and nightlife, just steps from Pointe-à-Pitre. Le Moule and Anse-Bertrand, wilder in character, appeal to surfers and fans of Atlantic-battered coastlines. Choose based on your pace.
Can you visit Marie-Galante from Grande-Terre?
Yes, ferries regularly connect Pointe-à-Pitre to Grand-Bourg on Marie-Galante in about an hour. The neighboring island can be explored as a day trip, between agricultural rum distilleries and peaceful beaches. Book your tickets in advance during high season and check schedules, which are less frequent on Sundays.
