Maison Bambuck

Owned by one of the island’s old families, this magnificent villa, completely rebuilt recently, makes the most of all the advantages offered by a unique location in Guadeloupe.

The contrast between the street side and the garden side is striking. On one side, the lively village life with walking access to all the shops, the unmissable Gosier night market, the famous Datcha beach, the casino, restaurants, and more. On the other side, once you pass through the tall enclosure that shields the property from outside view, you are immediately immersed in nature. This house is deliberately designed for vacationers who love to live outdoors under the tropical sun. Sugarcane, palm trees, coconut trees, banana trees, mango trees, breadfruit trees, and more grow abundantly. They form a lush tropical garden around the spacious decks that border the swimming pool—a 14-meter lap pool appreciated by sports enthusiasts. But it is above all the spectacular view of the Caribbean Sea, stretching as far as the eye can see, that captivates. At your feet, the iconic Gosier islet, and before your eyes, a 180° panoramic view: the Soufrière volcano, Les Saintes, Dominica, and Marie-Galante.

This serene and natural environment is so unspoiled that it is precisely here, on the large fig trees of this property perched on a cliff overlooking the sea, where pelicans—the “grand gosier” that gave the town its name—have always come to rest, carried by the trade winds, as the sun sets.

This spacious house can accommodate up to 8 people. It is spread over three levels connected by a modern interior staircase and an exterior staircase winding through the lush vegetation. Fully connected and almost energy self-sufficient, the villa cleverly blends authenticity and modernity. On the ground floor, where Brazilian redwood predominates, are the main living areas: a large gallery of about 100 m² with a stunning high ceiling, featuring a comfortable living room, a dining table, an open kitchen, an indoor TV lounge, and an office. On the garden level, three bedrooms open onto the lush landscape. The upper floor hosts a master bedroom with its own private balcony overlooking the sea. Each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, a separate WC, and a walk-in closet. The furnishings are tastefully chosen in a contemporary style, with a focus on preserving the spirit of the place rather than replicating conventional magazine designs.

Once you’ve enjoyed the charms of Maison Bambuck, you may feel tempted to visit the must-see tourist spots of the Guadeloupe Archipelago. Staying at this property gives you the advantage of being just 15 minutes from the airport and perfectly situated in the heart of the island. It takes only 40 minutes to drive east to the legendary Pointe des Châteaux to watch the sunrise or west to Deshaies for the famous sunset. And it’s just a 15-minute drive to Pointe-à-Pitre, where you can catch a boat for an unforgettable day trip to Les Saintes, Marie-Galante, or La Désirade.
