Guadeloupe

Guadeloupe is an archipelago of different islands that invite you to stay in paradise. As a French overseas department, the LGBTQ+ community has the same rights as in France.

As a result, there are also community-friendly bars, hotels and beaches on the island. The LGBTQs on the island still keep their distance. If you want to experience Guadeloupe in all its community-friendliness, the best time to travel is probably during carnival season. What you need to know: There are no LGBTQ+ only nightlife locations or saunas on the island. However, social networks and the openness of the locals make private parties possible. We have a great partner accommodation. The Habitation Samana Beauséjour is definitely a good address and Didier and Etienne are happy to welcome you to their little paradise.
