The wild, unspoilt island
La Désirade is the least known of Guadeloupe's dependencies. A long limestone plateau of 22 km², it has a wild, authentic character that is rare in the Caribbean. Its near-deserted beaches, unspoilt seabed and protected lagoon make it a paradise for lovers of untouched nature.
