The first part of the day is dedicated to Basse-Terre, the greener and more tropical side of the island, with a visit to Valombreuse Garden in Petit-Bourg.

We then continue to Grande-Terre and Sainte-Anne, where the atmosphere is completely different, with its colourful market, village, small shops and, of course, its famous white-sand beach and turquoise waters.

The concept is therefore to combine tropical nature, local discovery and seaside relaxation in one day, while giving everyone enough free time to enjoy Sainte-Anne at their own pace.

Located in the heart of Basse-Terre’s lush tropical vegetation, Valombreuse Garden offers a wonderful immersion in Guadeloupe’s tropical nature.

As they explore the garden, visitors can discover a wide variety of tropical plants and flowers, palm trees, majestic trees, ferns, ponds and beautifully landscaped areas, all surrounded by lush greenery.

Guests are free to walk through the garden and discover its different areas at their own pace.

The visit also includes a small train ride through the grounds, offering another enjoyable way to discover the garden and its tropical surroundings.

After this immersion in the tropical vegetation of Basse-Terre, we continue to Sainte-Anne on Grande-Terre.

Guests have free time to discover the colourful market, village centre, small shops and Caribbean atmosphere.

They can also enjoy Sainte-Anne’s village beach, with its white sand and turquoise waters.

Once in Sainte-Anne, everyone is free to organise their time as they wish: explore the market and village, browse the shops, have lunch, swim or simply relax on the beach.

Lunch is at your leisure, with several restaurants and local eateries available in Sainte-Anne.

For those who prefer, a takeaway picnic can also be offered as an optional extra for €12 per person, with advance reservation. This option allows guests to head directly to the beach as soon as they arrive in Sainte-Anne and make the most of their free time, while enjoying their lunch there.
