The best eSIM for Guadeloupe in 2026. Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Guadeloupe, priced on the same day: two weeks unlimited for $18.99, a month for $28.99.
Prices read on 28 September 2026. Six travel eSIMs sell data for Guadeloupe and get most of the traffic for this search. We priced all six on the same day, for a long weekend on the beaches of Grande-Terre, a week with the volcano and a ferry to Les Saintes, two weeks and a month, and read the fine print on unlimited. Guadeloupe is part of France and the EU, so an EU phone plan may already cover you. Here is where each one wins.
Ringo Light: Cheapest unlimited for two weeks or a month. Unlimited data at full speed for 2 weeks at $18.99 or 30 days at $28.99, one payment each, nothing renews. Airalo asks $49 for 15 days and $73.50 for the month.

Most people come to Guadeloupe for one or two weeks: beaches on Grande-Terre, the volcano and the waterfalls on Basse-Terre, a ferry to Les Saintes or Marie-Galante. For 15 days of unlimited, Airalo asks $49 and Holafly $50.50. Ubigi's Caribbean regional plan, which covers Guadeloupe, asks $75 for 30 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps. Saily and Nomad sell no two weeks of unlimited. Ringo Light charges $18.99 for 2 weeks, one payment, nothing renews.
For a month the gap is wider. Saily's Global plan costs $59.99 for 30 GB at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Ubigi's Best Caribbean month is $69 for 60 GB, Airalo $73.50 and Holafly $73.90. Ringo Light charges $28.99 for 30 days.
Read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo gives 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Ubigi and Saily give a fixed amount, then slow you down. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ringo Light has no speed cap: the 2 weeks starts with 10 GB and the 30 days with 20 GB, and when you have used 80% we add 10 GB once and charge the $18.99 top-up. A heavy two weeks with us costs $37.98, still under every rival's two weeks. A heavy month costs $47.98, still under every rival's month.
For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day or 7-day plan. Airalo sells 3 days of unlimited at $11.50 and Holafly at $11.90. For a week, our 2 weeks at $18.99 costs less than any rival's 7 days: Airalo asks $27, Holafly $27.50, and Ubigi $27 for 20 GB at full speed on its Best Caribbean plan.
Guadeloupe is shaped like a butterfly. Grande-Terre, the flat eastern wing, has Pointe-à-Pitre, the airport and most of the beach towns. Basse-Terre, the western wing, is mountain and rainforest around La Soufrière. Les Saintes, Marie-Galante and La Désirade lie offshore and are reached by ferry. Orange, SFR Caraïbe and Digicel cover the towns and the coast roads of both wings well. Airalo and Holafly ride Digicel, Nomad Orange, and Ubigi's listing names all three. Saily does not name its network.
Away from the coast it is patchier. Holafly's own page names parts of the national park, the area around La Soufrière, Les Saintes, Marie-Galante, La Désirade and the boat crossings as places where coverage may be limited or unstable. No travel eSIM changes that. Download offline maps of Basse-Terre before a hike, and save ferry tickets on the phone before you board.
Saint-Barthélemy and Saint-Martin were part of Guadeloupe until 2007 and are separate territories now. A Guadeloupe plan, ours included, does not cover them; check before you fly on.
Nomad, $19 for 10 GB. 10 GB for 30 days and 20 GB for 30 days at $29, on Orange. 5 GB is $15. Nomad sells no unlimited for Guadeloupe.
Ubigi, $19 for 10 GB. On its Best Caribbean regional plan, which also covers Martinique, French Guiana, Saint Barthélemy and Saint Martin. Its only Guadeloupe plan is 3 GB for 15 days at $8.
Saily, $22.99 for 10 GB. 20 GB at $36.99 and 5 GB at $12.99. Its listing is from June; saily.com would not load for us.
Airalo, $23.50 for 10 GB. Its Guanet plan on Digicel: 20 GB for $37, 5 GB for 30 days at $13.50. The app is needed.
Ringo Light, no buckets. Our 2 weeks starts with 10 GB for $18.99, one cent under the cheapest 10 GB bucket, but it lasts 2 weeks, not 30 days. Our 30 days starts with 20 GB for $28.99, one cent under Nomad's 20 GB for the same 30 days. For 10 GB that has to last a month, Nomad and Ubigi are the better buy, and for 5 GB Saily at $12.99 or Airalo at $13.50 cost less than anything we sell. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.
Ringo Light is our own data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For Guadeloupe it sells two trips, both unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 2 weeks at $18.99, starting with 10 GB, and 30 days at $28.99, starting with 20 GB. Each adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged at $18.99. One payment, nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.
Our Caribbean trip and our Europe trip do not cover Guadeloupe, so this is the Ringo Light to buy for it. It covers Guadeloupe only, not Martinique, Dominica, Saint-Barthélemy or Saint-Martin.
The card to buy it is just below this article.
A long weekend on the beaches. Airalo unlimited, 3 days, $11.50. Ringo Light sells no 3 days; our 2 weeks is $7.49 more.
A week: Grande-Terre, the volcano and Les Saintes. Ringo Light unlimited, 2 weeks, $18.99, less than any rival charges for 7 days of unlimited.
Two weeks, heavy use. Ringo Light unlimited, 2 weeks, $18.99, against $49 to $75 for two weeks at the rivals. Even with one top-up it is $37.98.
A month, light use. Nomad 10 GB for 30 days at $19 on Orange.
A month, working from the villa. Ringo Light unlimited, 30 days, $28.99, starting with 20 GB and adding 10 GB once for $18.99. Ubigi's Best Caribbean plan at $69 for 60 GB if you also sail on to Martinique or Saint-Martin.
Your phone plan is from an EU country. Check your roaming first. Guadeloupe is in the EU, so you may already be covered at home prices.
You need your own number to keep ringing. None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.
What to do in Guadeloupe, and what your phone needs for it. Eight places most first trips include, from Pointe-à-Pitre and the eastern tip of Grande-Terre to the volcano, the rainforest and the islands offshore, with the one thing your data does for you at each. The towns and coast roads have good signal; the mountain and the ferries are where you want things saved offline.
Mémorial ACTe, Pointe-à-Pitre. A museum and memorial of the slave trade and slavery in the Caribbean, opened in 2015 on the site of an old sugar factory on the harbour. Give it half a day, then walk to the market and the quays of the Darse. Prices are in euros and cards work as in mainland France, so French bank and payment apps work here as at home.
Pointe des Châteaux, Saint-François, Grande-Terre. The eastern tip of Grande-Terre, where limestone rocks stand in the Atlantic surf and a short path climbs to a cross with a view to La Désirade. Go at sunrise or late afternoon. The Atlantic side is rough and not for swimming. Check the weather app for wind before you drive out, then walk to the cross.
La Soufrière, Basse-Terre. An active volcano of 1,467 metres, the highest point in the Lesser Antilles, climbed on a marked trail from the Bains Jaunes car park. Start early: the summit clouds over most days by late morning. Check the volcano observatory and national park notices on your phone before you go, since parts of the summit close when the gas is strong, and expect the signal to drop on the trail.
Chutes du Carbet, Capesterre-Belle-Eau, Basse-Terre. Three waterfalls on the rainforest flank of La Soufrière. The second fall is the easy one, a short walk from the car park; the others are proper hikes. Download the offline map before the mountain road, and check the park's trail notices: paths close after heavy rain.
Grande Anse, Deshaies, Basse-Terre. One of the longest beaches in Guadeloupe, golden sand backed by palms and forest, on the north-west coast near the botanical garden of Deshaies. Best in the late afternoon light. Waves and currents here can be strong. Read the beach flags and the swell forecast on your phone before you swim.
The Bay of Les Saintes, Terre-de-Haut, Les Saintes. A small island village on a bay ringed by green hills, with Fort Napoléon above the harbour. The ferry from Trois-Rivières takes about twenty minutes; most people rent a scooter or walk. Coverage can be patchy on the islands and at sea. Save your return ferry ticket and time on the phone before you leave.
Marie-Galante, South-east of Grande-Terre. A round, flat island of sugar cane, empty beaches and old windmill towers, known for its rum distilleries. Ferries leave from Pointe-à-Pitre. Small shops and distilleries may prefer cash. Take some out in Pointe-à-Pitre before the ferry.
Îlets Pigeon and the Cousteau reserve, Malendure, Bouillante. Two small islands off Malendure beach, in a marine reserve named after Jacques Cousteau. Snorkel from the beach or take a boat out to see turtles and coral. Check the sea conditions and boat times on your phone, then leave it on shore in a dry bag.
We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Guadeloupe on 28 September 2026, all on the same day, in US dollars. Each rival's price comes from its own website where it showed dollars, otherwise from an esimdb.com listing, and every source and its date is listed below. Ringo Light's prices come from the catalogue our checkout charges.
We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.
Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.
Left out: Maya Mobile, we could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.

For two weeks or a month of unlimited data, Ringo Light: $18.99 for 2 weeks and $28.99 for 30 days on 28 September 2026, against $49 for 15 days and $73.50 for 30 days at Airalo. For 3 days, Airalo at $11.50. For a 10 GB bucket that lasts 30 days, Nomad or Ubigi at $19. For 5 GB, Saily at $12.99.
Airalo and Holafly ride Digicel. Nomad names Orange, and Ubigi's listing names Digicel, Orange and SFR Caraïbe. Saily does not name its network on its listing. All of them cover Pointe-à-Pitre, the beach towns and the coast roads; the rainforest, the volcano and the small islands can be patchy on any of them.
Every brand has a limit somewhere. Airalo slows you after 3 GB a day, Ubigi and Saily after a fixed full-speed amount. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone. Nomad sells no unlimited for Guadeloupe. Ringo Light has no speed cap: it starts with 10 or 20 GB and adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged.
Yes. Guadeloupe is part of France and of the European Union, so a phone plan from any EU country roams there at home prices under the EU rules, within the usual fair use limit. French plans treat it as home or close to it, but some operators in other EU countries list the French overseas departments on a separate page of their price list, so check yours before you fly. Plans from the US, the UK or Canada usually charge roaming there, and that is where a travel eSIM saves money. A Europe travel eSIM does not always include Guadeloupe; our Europe trip does not, so check that your plan names it.
