Deshaies, Guadeloupe

Set along Guadeloupe’s quieter coast, Deshaies captures the appeal of a barefoot French Caribbean escape. Defined by sea, greenery, and island life, a walkable waterfront village, understated cafés, and nearby beaches set the tone, while botanical gardens and forested hills add perspective beyond the coastline. Time passes between gentle strolls, shaded terraces, and time in the water, creating an unhurried experience that encourages rest, renewal, and simple pleasures.
