Dolé Thermal Baths, Thermal bath in Trois-Rivières, Guadeloupe.
Dolé Thermal Baths is a natural thermal spa in Trois-Rivières, Guadeloupe, featuring multiple pools where water remains at around 30 degrees Celsius year-round. The main bathing area sits beside departmental road 7 and connects to the pools via stone steps.
The baths operated as a formal establishment between 1920 and 1960, representing a key phase in the region's wellness tourism growth. After this period, the site's use shifted toward becoming a more local gathering place.
Local residents visit these pools regularly, holding traditional beliefs about the water's ability to help with skin conditions and joint discomfort. This trust in the healing properties shapes how people use the space today.
The site is fairly easy to access, with parking nearby and clear paths to the water. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear for the steep stone steps and plan to visit during daylight hours.
One of the most distinctive pools has a heart shape and is fed directly by a natural hot spring cascade. This basin includes a wooden terrace that makes it a particularly charming spot.
