What is the best area to rent a villa in Guadeloupe?
Many of you are asking the question " where to rent in Guadeloupe ?".
First, you must choose between Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre, which are the two wings of the butterfly of the Guadeloupean island.
These two territories are completely different, and do not share any common ground except that they are surrounded by water.
The best area depends on your type of stay, but for a balance between peace and quiet, nature and access to beaches, Deshaies is highly recommended.
Deshaies : ideal for a quiet villa with sea and nature views
Sainte-Anne : beaches and a lively atmosphere
Saint-François : golf and developed tourism
Grande-Terre
Grande-Terre is the northern part of Guadeloupe; it is relatively flat, has a much drier climate, and less dense vegetation. In terms of topography, you'll find large white sand beaches as well as a more rocky area with very rugged coastlines reminiscent of Brittany.
This part of the island is also more suited to mass tourism, so most of the hotel complexes are located there.
Top sites to visit on Grande-Terre
- Pointe-des-Châteaux
- The Morne-à-l'Eau cemetery, with its black and white checkered tombs
- The Saint-Anne night market
- The ACTe Memorial
- The Saint-François International Golf Course, 18 holes.
- The Pointe de la Grande Vigie and the Porte d'Enfer, for their vertiginous cliffs and breathtaking views
– Caravelle Beach, Saint-Anne
– Sainte-Anne Town Beach
– Datcha Beach in Gosier
– Saint Felix beach, wilder
– The beaches of Pointe des Châteaux and Anse à la Gourde
– Light Grape Beach in Saint François
- The very beautiful beach of Anse de Souffleur in Port-Louis
Basse-Terre
Basse-Terre is the lower part of Guadeloupe; it is rather rugged, has a much more tropical climate, and lush vegetation. The landscape is characterized by a mountain range (ancient volcanoes) with La Soufrière as its highest point. In the northwest, there are large white sand beaches like Grande Anse , and the further south you go, the smaller the beaches become, with darker sand or pebbles.
This part of the island is also more suited to "nature" tourism , so you will find the possibility of doing a multitude of hikes , swimming in waterfalls , a 17,000 ha tropical forest managed by the National Park , the Cousteau reserve and its pigeon islets conducive to swimming and snorkeling in a natural aquarium.
Top sites on Basse-Terre
- Guadeloupe National Park, with the Mamelles Park and its countless hiking trails
- the Pigeon Islands and the Cousteau Reserve in Bouillante, a life-size aquarium
- The Carbet Falls starting from Capesterre
- The Acomat jump near Pointe Noire
- the crayfish waterfall on the crossing road
- Grande Anse beach and Perle beach in the beautiful village of Deshaies
- the Soufrière volcano and its hot springs
- the Grand-Cul-de-Sac Marin nature reserve and its islets such as Îlet Caret and Îlet Blanc
- The La Grivelière Estate in Vieux-Habitants, producing coffee, cocoa and vanilla

Renting a villa in Guadeloupe is one of the best ways to fully enjoy your vacation, especially with family or friends. Unlike a hotel, a villa with several bedrooms and a private pool offers more space, comfort, and privacy.
Guadeloupe offers several areas to stay in, such as Grande-Terre or Basse-Terre. The seaside resorts of Grande-Terre, such as Sainte-Anne or Saint-François, are more lively and touristy, while Basse-Terre, and in particular Deshaies, offers a calmer and more natural environment.
For those seeking tranquility, unspoiled beaches, and immersion in tropical nature, renting a villa in Deshaies, Guadeloupe, is often the best choice. There you'll find villas with private pools, sea views, and lush green surroundings, ideal for a relaxing stay.
Choosing a villa rental also allows you to benefit from more flexibility and often better rates by booking directly, while enjoying a unique setting between sea and jungle.
In summary
It can be said that both parts of Guadeloupe have their attractions, and that it's simply a matter of taste...
As a recommendation, I think choosing a central location would make it easier to visit both parts of the island. Our favorite is the small village of Deshaies, located in the upper part of Basse-Terre. This little fishing village, which was also the filming location for the series "Death in Paradise," is close to the most beautiful beaches of Basse-Terre and Guadeloupe. You can therefore combine business with pleasure... :-)
