Much more than a stay in Guadeloupe

A place to slow down, between Creole cottages, a tropical garden, the river and the Caribbean Sea.

Our lodges

Authentic Creole cottages

Our six lodges draw inspiration from traditional Creole cottages: timber, open terraces and nature all around invite you to slow down and, for a few days, step back in time.

The tropical garden

6,500 m² of nature

A fruit garden dotted with orchids, palms and tropical flowers, bordered by the river. Lush vegetation changes with the seasons and is an essential part of the stay.

03

Fruit trees

A garden of flavours

Mangoes, bananas, citrus, lychees, tamarinds, star fruit, custard apples, avocados, pineapples, quenettes, mombins, coconuts and breadfruit: depending on the season, the garden is as much to taste as to admire.

ListenThe garden is alive

The birds

The true residents of the garden

Bananaquits at breakfast, bold grackles, melodious thrashers, kingfishers by the pond, noisy crows and watchful kestrels: each has its habits and character.

05

Hummingbirds

The garden’s tiny ambassadors

They often greet you on arrival, drawn to the nectar of tropical flowers. When a mother hummingbird protects her tiny nest, she also knows exactly how to ask visitors to keep their distance.

06

The frogs

The evening concert

By day the garden seems peaceful. At night it finds another voice. Take a torch and look at leaves, branches and paths: tiny frogs are all around you.

The waterfall

A haven of serenity

At the bottom of the garden, the river feeds a natural pool where you can cool off. Lift a stone gently and you may spot a freshwater ouassou; stand still and tiny fish may come and tickle your feet.

Sunsets

A different show every evening

Facing the Caribbean Sea, the sky never repeats itself. Gold, orange, crimson… and on rare evenings, when conditions are perfect, you may find yourself waiting for the famous green flash.

Why Bouillante?

A Guadeloupe that has kept its soul

We chose Bouillante for its character, its nature and above all its people. Here hospitality is not a slogan: local people, small shops and village stories give the leeward coast a deeply Guadeloupean identity.

Hidden beaches

A few steps to feel alone in the world

Towards Pointe Machette, follow the coast on foot beneath the trees before reaching a small wild beach: few people, turquoise water and the rare feeling of finding a place that was waiting just for you.

Walks & hikes

Between forest, waterfalls and sea

Trou à Diable, Queue de Cheval, Paradis and the coastal paths around Machette and Malendure: near Bouillante, walks move from rainforest to seashore within just a few kilometres.

Watching cetaceans

The sea sometimes offers extraordinary encounters

Dolphins feeding and playing beside the boat, an elusive sperm whale and, during migration season, the majestic silhouette of humpback whales: here, sometimes all you need to do is look out to sea.
