Those who have dreamt of a peaceful, sparsely populated island where visitors can truly relax need dream no more; such a place does exist. To the east of Grande-Terre, La Désirade remains untouched by mass tourism, a haven of peace where nature remains untarnished. Visitors are drawn here to enjoy its fine beaches and extensive walks, with the gentle whistling wind as a backdrop. The island has all the modern conveniences – running water, telephones – required for a comfortable stay.
