Learn more about hotels in Guadeloupe

The archipelago of Guadeloupe, a dazzling overseas department and region of France, nestles itself within the Caribbean Sea's emerald waters. This necklace of islands, each with its unique charm, is a realm where French language and Antillean Creole dance together against a tropical backdrop. Its earliest inhabitants, the Arawak people, named it "Karukera", hinting at the region's splendid marine vistas.

Christopher Columbus added a Spanish touch, naming the archipelago after Our Lady of Guadalupe, reflecting a rich and intertwined history of different influences. Its story reads like an adventure tale, filled with British-Swedish conflicts, revolutionary chaos, slave uprisings, and periods of social unrest, evolving into a colourful coalescence of cultures.

Today, Guadeloupe's vibrant culture, lush vegetation and political ties to the European Union draw plenty of French travellers, followed by explorers from other European countries, the United States, and Canada.

When to visit Guadeloupe

If you're dreaming of sun-drenched skies and balmy breezes, the ideal time to visit Guadeloupe is during the peak months of the dry season, stretching from January through March. This period sidesteps the June to November hurricane season, ensuring that you can maximise your days of tropical bliss.

Visitors are encouraged to avoid the rainy season, particularly the more tempestuous months of August to November. This tip secures safe and stress-free exploration of Guadeloupe's vibrant landscapes for you and your travel companions. So, whether it's a cosy couple's retreat or an adventurous family holiday, plan accordingly to unlock the full potential of your Guadeloupe getaway.
