La Toubana Hotel & Spa
Discreet French Caribbean luxury. Creole architectural touches with contemporary comforts. Small-scale and quiet — this is not a sprawling all-inclusive campus. More like a well-run private retreat that happens to have a Sisley spa and two restaurants.
The Ti Kaz bungalows with private pools offer the most seclusion — worth upgrading from standard bungalows if romance or privacy is the priority.
Why It Matters
The sole 5-star property in the entire Guadeloupe archipelago. The Sisley Paris spa partnership is a genuine differentiator in this part of the Caribbean. And the positioning — cliffside above a private beach with views to the outer islands — is genuinely hard to replicate.
The only 5-star hotel in the Guadeloupe archipelago, La Toubana sits on a rocky cliffside above a sheltered private beach at the entrance to Sainte-Anne village on Grande-Terre. The layout gives you two worlds at once: panoramic sea views over Marie-Galante and Les Saintes from the hillside bungalows, and direct beach access a short walk below. All 48 units — bungalows, suites, and villas — face the ocean. The tone is calm and understated, not flashy. French is the primary language here, which very much adds to the atmosphere.
