Saint-Louis Beach II
10 Nathan Miller

This lounge bar by the sea offers a warm welcome. It is perfectly situated to enjoy an extraordinary sunset while overlooking Guadeloupe. The cocktails are excellent, and they also serve delicious small dishes for the aperitif, as well as more substantial dishes that are always of exceptional quality. It was a delightful find, and there is even an art gallery upstairs, which is an added bonus.
