Lately, I’ve been writing more and more articles about accommodation in Guadeloupe, because I’ve realized that many readers are interested in this. So, I’m now offering you a complete guide to seafront hotels in Guadeloupe. It’s true that many travelers come to Guadeloupe for the white sand beaches and coconut palms typical of the Caribbean. If you want to be as close as possible to postcard-perfect scenery, the seaside hotels are (often) on Grande-Terre or in the north of Basse-Terre, in Deshaies.
I agree, our beautiful archipelago is full of fine sandy beaches with turquoise water, but there are also other things to do in Guadeloupe: hikes in the rainforest, waterfalls, the Soufrière volcano and, of course, water activities such as diving, paddleboarding, surfing and many more! It also depends on how much time you spend on vacation here. Don’t forget the budget to plan for your trip to Guadeloupe. Between plane tickets, activities and accommodation, it can add up quickly!
So, if you absolutely want a hotel by the sea, I won’t hide from you that they’re often a bit more expensive. But as usual, I’ve taken care to select hotels for every budget. And, of course, I always use my own experiences (I’ve been here for 4 years now, it’s starting to add up) and those of my relatives to share some great addresses with you.
The best places to stay by the sea in Guadeloupe
To help you choose where to set down your suitcases facing the sea, here are 5 magnificent places:
- Sainte-Anne: a great start with this idyllic setting of long white sand beaches, turquoise lagoon and waterfront hotels. It remains a tourist area, so expect it to be busy!
- Le Gosier: as its name suggests, it’s just opposite Gosier Islet; I’ll let you imagine the color of the water! Plus, there’s plenty of entertainment: restaurants, markets, shops.
- Saint-François: the ideal spot for some with its lagoon, marina and great seaside addresses. Here, your stay will be punctuated by the beach, boat trips and water activities.
- Les Saintes: to really disconnect and enjoy a unique break, I recommend staying on these islands. You’ll enjoy coves with crystal-clear waters! By the way, if you’re interested, we’ve written a dedicated guide: where to stay in Les Saintes.
Deshaies: we end with this town in the north of Basse-Terre. It’s the “nature” choice between golden sand beaches and sunsets. Since it’s on Basse-Terre, there are still tourists and it’s always pleasant. To discover the best deals for accommodation in Basse-Terre, I recommend reading our article on the subject.
I hope this first overview has given you ideas about where you’d like to sleep in Guadeloupe. I’d say the most important thing is to choose the atmosphere and scenery that appeal to you. And then, you can always alternate to try different places and accommodations.

Within the hotel, you can alternate between the tropical garden, the pool and the terrace. Not to mention the beach right in front of the property.
