Le Rayon Vert

Top choice in Deshaies


Situated in Ferry, south of Deshaies, this sunset-friendly seducer is a great place to enjoy a small-scale resort complete with an infinity pool that boasts stunning sea views. The 22 rooms are generously proportioned and functional, with sleek design elements. It's well worth paying for the higher-category rooms with extra space.

Minimum four-night stay in high season.
