La Désirade is a small island, 11 km by 2 km. Away from tourism development, the island has remained wild. A single tarmac road runs across La Désirade, wind turbines provide the necessary electricity, and running water has only been supplied since 1991! The island is not very populated, so everyone knows each other. The people are welcoming, the atmosphere relaxed, the coasts not really built up — in short, we love it!
