Le Rocher de Malendure

Basse-Terre Island


This sprawling complex is actually built on the eponymous rock just south of Plage de Malendure and has incredible views on all sides. The restaurant offers everything from beef fillet to the fresh lobsters it keeps in a small pool (if that's your thing). Pricey desserts.
