THINGS TO DO NEAR THE CLUB
Plage de Malendure
Plage Malendure is the nearest beach to the club and is known for its volcanic black sand. Here you will find plenty of restaurants and bars where you can relax by the sea. For the more adventurous, grab your mask and tuba and explore the waters, where you will find turtles nibbling on the vegetation.
Canopee Guadeloupe Canyoning
The staff of Canopee (on Plage Malendure) will take you on an adventure through the Ravine Bourceau. Here you will see all types of flora and vegetation and get the chance to abseil from large heights - with the knowledge that you are safely secured by your harness!

PLACES TO EAT NEAR THE CLUB
Plage Malendure
If you’re looking for more of a quick snack than a sit down meal then we advise grabbing a ‘Bokit’ from one of the many food trucks or restaurants on the beach. In particular, we recommend Tony in his orange van!
Carrefour/ Boulangerie
Another quick option is to head to the Carrefour market just down the road from the club and make your own lunch (and enjoy it in good company at the club!). You can also go to the Boulangerie next door to Carrefour which offers a variety of sandwiches, salads and patisseries.

Just 5 minutes walk from the club, La Touna is an excellent place to have a delicious meal or simply a drink on the terrace. The restaurant also does meals to go.
