Three white-sandy beaches

Surrounded by deep blue seas and home to some of the island’s most beautiful beaches, Terres Basses is a destination where relaxation comes naturally. The area features three distinct beaches, each with its own unique charm.

1. Baie Rouge is celebrated for its dramatic scenery and picture-perfect views, making it a favorite for photography and unforgettable sunsets.
2. Baie Longue Beach offers a more serene experience, known for its long stretches of white sand and tranquil ambiance.
3. Baie aux Prunes, also known as Plum Bay, feels more untouched and natural, with a slightly rugged shoreline where, on days with good swell, you may spot surfers riding the waves.

On the lagoon side of Terres Basses, select villas offer rare private access to calm waters that are otherwise unreachable, adding another layer of exclusivity to the experience.
