Basse-Terre, the lush green jewel of Guadeloupe, appeals to travelers seeking authenticity, tropical nature, and tranquility. Dominated by the majestic La Soufrière volcano, this region is rich in rainforests, fresh rivers, and spectacular waterfalls. Far from the busy tourist hubs, Basse-Terre invites you to disconnect and explore unspoiled landscapes — from hiking trails and wild beaches to charming villages steeped in Creole culture.
ZeWelcome offers a diverse selection of rentals to suit every traveler: cozy apartments, charming Creole-style houses, or spacious villas with private pools. Towns like Deshaies, Bouillante, Vieux-Habitants, and Trois-Rivières are ideal for a stay between the sea and tropical forest. Whether you're looking for a beachfront villa, a home with Caribbean Sea views, or accommodation near natural hot springs, Basse-Terre has it all.
Take full advantage of your stay in Basse-Terre by exploring its breathtaking scenery: soft sandy beaches at Grande Anse, hiking trails in Guadeloupe National Park, the famous Carbet waterfalls, and the natural hot springs of Bouillante. Hiking the active Soufrière volcano is a must for adventure lovers. Choose a villa or house with a panoramic terrace, pool, or private spa for a fully immersive experience in a wilder, more preserved side of Guadeloupe.
Basse-Terre also offers a truly local experience with colorful markets, rum distilleries, and family-run restaurants. To mix things up, be sure to explore our rentals in Grande-Terre, the island's more vibrant and beach-focused region.
