Cocktails, deck chairs, magical sunset, and a vibe that makes you never want to leave.

Dantana Cafe - Marie-Galante

Perched on the edge of one of Marie-Galante's wildest beaches, Dantana Cafe is a little gem with a bohemian and laid-back vibe. Here, you live barefoot in the sand, lulled by live music, facing a breathtaking sea view. The spot is also a hotspot for kiteboarding, perfect for sipping a cocktail while admiring the riders at work.
The menu blends local flavors and fresh products, with true Creole identity. Open Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 1am, Dantana is the ideal place to chill away from the crowds, enjoy the sunset... and truly disconnect.

Tip: Bring cash, credit cards aren't always available!

Kaza Datcha - Le Gosier

Casa Datcha beach bar

Sitting on Datcha beach in Gosier, La Casa Datcha is the perfect spot for those who like fun, laid-back and quirky vibes. With its young clientele and sunny atmosphere, you come here to sip a fresh smoothie, share a pitcher of cocktails with friends or savor a brunch with your feet in the sand.

Facing the sea, in colorful and unpretentious decor, the vibe is definitely cooler than its neighbor Bliss. Here, you chill, you chat, and you enjoy the sun without taking yourself too seriously. Perfect for an evening to watch the sunset facing the Gosier islet.

ZeWelcome Tip: The pitcher of cocktails is a must-try... but share it!

La Toubana - Sainte-Anne

la toubana beach bar

Just steps from the bustling Sainte-Anne market, Toubana La Plage is a peaceful refuge for those looking to gently disconnect. Here, no DJs or wild nights - just the sound of waves, well-crafted cocktails, a few tapas to snack on and a view that invites contemplation.
It's also the perfect spot to have your coffee facing the sea in the morning, or to read a book or simply chill on a deck chair between 10am and 6pm. Prices are a bit above average, but the ultra-relaxed setting by the sea quickly makes you forget about it.

ZeWelcome Tip: A zen spot perfect after a stroll through the Sainte-Anne market.

Les Balancoires - Terre-de-Haut, Les Saintes

A true beach bar/restaurant with feet in the water, where you can settle on a bed facing the sea, cocktail in hand, waiting for generous and well-prepared Creole cuisine. The atmosphere is great, relaxed during the day and more upscale in the evening, especially on the rooftop with panoramic views.
As night falls, the spot transforms: DJ sets, elegant cocktails and golden light create the perfect atmosphere to extend the evening.

Les Balancoires beach bar

ZeWelcome Tip: Don't leave without admiring the sunset from the rooftop.
🕓 Open daily from 11:45am to 2:30pm and 6pm to 10pm.
