Visiting Guadeloupe in January: The Start of the Ideal Season

Why choose January for your stay in Guadeloupe?

January is undoubtedly one of the best times to fly to Guadeloupe. The climate is ideal: pleasant temperatures, warm sea, and almost constant blue skies. You can enjoy all the advantages of the high season without the disadvantages: fewer tourists than in February or March, quieter beaches, and an authentic local atmosphere.

It's also the start of carnival season! Parades, music, colors, and traditions set the pace for the weeks of January, offering a unique cultural immersion. Whether you're traveling as a couple, with family, or with friends, Guadeloupe in January promises an unforgettable stay, combining relaxation, discovery, and festivities.

Starting the year with your feet in the sand is what a stay in Guadeloupe in January promises. While winter sets in across Europe, the island of Beautiful Waters enters its dry season, known as “Carême.” This is one of the best times to travel: showers are rare, the trade winds cool the atmosphere, and the thermometer reads a pleasant 84°F.

By choosing a VillaVEO villa for your January getaway, you are treating yourself to much more than just accommodation. As soon as you make your secure online reservation, we will prepare for your arrival so that you can make the transition from winter coat to swimsuit in no time. Our on-site concierge teams will welcome you and advise you, whether you want to discover the archipelago's most beautiful beaches or set off to explore the trails.
