The spirit of travel
This circuit offers a leisurely discovery of Guadeloupe, with a lovely balance between relaxation, beach pleasures and exploration at your own pace.
From the authentic north of Grande-Terre, you take time to settle in and enjoy the panoramas of Anse-Bertrand, the small fishing ports and white sand beaches.
The journey continues along the lagoons, with an activity of your choice in a transparent kayak or paddle boarding, ideal for observing the turquoise waters in a different way.
Guided by the recommendations of the local agency, you alternate between beaches, more unspoiled coves, walks and culinary breaks, before heading to the south of Grande-Terre.
At Sainte-Anne then Saint-François, the atmosphere unfolds through markets, artisanal boutiques and sunsets. A relaxation day in a 5-star hotel with spa completes this break, between swimming pool and seaside.
