Opposite La Toubana Hotel & Spa is Marie-Galante, the peaceful and authentic island in the whole of the Lesser Antilles arc.
There, the sugar cane fields stretch as far as the eye can see, paradisiacal beaches follow one another, the underwater fauna and flora surprise... Welcome to Île aux Cent Moulins, also known as Grande-Galette, which is worth a visit for a trip rich in discoveries.
An authentic island:
Many see Marie-Galante as the Guadeloupe “of yesteryear”. Life is preserved and rurality is preserved there. Come and crisscross the coastal road where you will meet these cabrouets, wooden carts pulled by oxen... Marie-Galante scores with its natural sites such as Gueule Grand Gouffre, an open-air chasm dug by the sea. The beauty of the site is exceptional. If you are looking for a spot for a short relaxing break, you are spoilt for choice. Anse Canot, La Feuillère Beach, Vieux Fort Beach... they stretch as far as the eye can see.
It is also and above all the island of rum culture! As you stroll through the sugar cane fields, you will come across one of the three distilleries still present on the island. During tastings, do not be surprised, Marie-Galante rum is renowned as being the strongest of all the islands of Guadeloupe, no less than 59°...
The visit to the island ends with Habitation Murat, a former colonial house, now home to an ecomuseum. Between calm, paradise and authenticity, come and appreciate the beauty of Marie-Galante, an island out of time.
