From Baie-Mahault
Discover Guadeloupe.
Guadeloupe is shaped like a butterfly. The villa sits right between its two wings: no beach or waterfall is more than an hour's drive away.
Grande-Terre
The eastern wing: white-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons and a wild headland facing the Atlantic.

At the heart of the island
Between the butterfly's two wings.
Baie-Mahault sits where the two halves of Guadeloupe meet. Mornings on the lagoons of Grande-Terre; afternoons at the waterfalls and forests of Basse-Terre. Evenings by the pool.
