🚗 How to Reach Domaine de Meilly by Public Transport

On Marie-Galante, public transportation is very limited and not reliable 🚌
There is no regular bus network, and no stop serves Domaine de Meilly directly in Saint-Louis.
The nearest “station” would be in Grand-Bourg, about a 20-minute drive from the property — which makes it difficult to get around without your own vehicle.

👉 We strongly recommend renting a car, scooter, or electric bike as soon as you arrive on the island.
It’s the best way to freely explore Marie-Galante — its beaches, distilleries, and charming villages 🌴

⚠️ Unlike the small island of Les Saintes, Marie-Galante is much larger — it’s not possible to get around on foot.

You’ll find several rental agencies right outside the Grand-Bourg ferry terminal and at the local airport, offering cars, scooters, and electric bikes.
Our team at Joya Conciergerie can also help you arrange your rental before your arrival 🚙✨

⚠️ Are bed linen and towels provided?
