Contact & Access | Hotel La Désirade ***

A short note from Pierre and Benedicte

A stay on an island is always a special moment. Leaving the continent, going to sea, is already forgetting your everyday worries and embarking on a relaxation and disconnection’s interlude.

Do not hesitate to contact us to arrange your transfer from the harbour, if you arrive by pleasure boat or plane, or simply if you need advice…
