The Guadeloupe archipelago comprises 6 islands: Basse-Terre, Grande-Terre, Marie-Galante, La Désirade and the Saintes islands. Between cities, nature reserves and beaches, they each offer very different landscapes. During your trip to Guadeloupe, you can discover these islands on a catamaran cruise or aboard Club Med 2. And if you wish, you can combine your cruise with an all-inclusive stay at Club Med La Caravelle.
The "butterfly island" seduces with its wild beaches and preserved forests. Start your all-inclusive stay in Guadeloupe with the nature reserves of Petite-Terre and Désirade. This protected marine and terrestrial space, with its typical Caribbean fauna and flora, is a condensed version of Guadeloupe. Cross Grande-Terre and its sugar cane fields to reach Basse-Terre and its diversity of landscapes. The mangrove and the coconut trees, the tropical forest and the reliefs of the Soufrière give to your stay an air of adventure. On the slopes of the Soufrière crater, enjoy a 360° view to Marie-Galante and Grande-Terre.
This prodigious nature is at the service of your relaxation. During your all-inclusive stay in Guadeloupe, discover the plantations, translucent waters and beaches of Marie-Galante, before heading out for a scuba dive to meet dolphins and turtles. Back to your Club Med La Caravelle resort in Grande-Terre, drive along the south coast and bask in the sun on the famous beaches of Gosier or La Caravelle. Between two sunbathing sessions, you can practice your swing during your stay in Guadeloupe: the Saint-François golf course is only 30 minutes away from your Club Med La Caravelle resort .
After getting to know the landscapes of Guadeloupe, embark at Point-à-Pitre aboard Club Med 2 and set off to discover Creole culture. Familiarize yourself with the typical and colonial architecture of the house of Saint-John Perse, get drunk on the smells and colors of spices from the markets, and succumb to the sweet scent of rum from the Trois Rivières plantation. For even more flavors during your stay in Guadeloupe, celebrate gastronomy during the Fête des cooks in Pointe-à-Pitre and taste the local dishes: stuffed crabs, blood sausages or crayfish bushes.
To continue your journey within Butterfly Island, go to Basse-Terre to discover a large-scale natural treasure! To the south, La Soufrière awaits you. It is a volcano lodged between sea and mountain whose summit of 1,467 meters above sea level happens to be the tallest in Guadeloupe. On the program: breathtaking wild landscapes and lush vegetation. You can access this exceptional site located in the national park by hiking and then end your excursion in a bath heated by the volcano to relax!
Continue your journey to the northwest of Basse-Terre to reach Deshaies, a small fishing village with local charm. Here, Caribbean-style houses litter the coast and stunning beaches surround the town. But above all, do not miss the famous Botanical Garden of Deshaies. This 7 hectare green space and former property of Coluche is home to many specimens of animals and plants. With more than 15 themes, this garden is an ideal activity to delight the senses of young and old alike.
