How to Spend a Day at Île-à-Rat (Amiga Island)

Discover the Charm of Amiga Island (aka Île-à-Rat), Haiti’s Secluded Caribbean Jewel

Picture this: pristine white sands underfoot, waters dancing in hues of azure and turquoise with the sun’s every move, amidst wild greenery that frames the perfect seaside evening. The melody of the waves crafts a serene backdrop, beckoning every nature lover closer to its untouched beauty.

This isn’t just another island getaway; it’s Île-à-Rat. Forget the crowded beaches of Bora Bora or the commercialized shores of the Fiji Islands—we’re about to show you something far better, far more magical.

Amiga Island or Île-à-Rat? Let’s Clear the Air

Before we dive deeper, let’s address a common question: Are Amiga Island and Île-à-Rat two separate islands?

In fact, they’re one and the same, known by two names. The original name, Île-à-Rat, translates to “Rat’s Island,” but rest assured, it doesn’t mean the place is teeming with rodents—there aren’t any rats. It’s believed the name reflects the island’s modest size rather than its fauna.

However, when Royal Caribbean Cruises began offering day trips to Île-à-Rat from their nearby Labadee Beach Resort, they opted for a more appealing (and marketable) name, introducing “Amiga Island” to their guests. Despite the change, we’ve chosen to use the original name throughout this article to honor its history. Now, with the name mystery solved, let’s explore what makes this island so captivating.

Stepping onto Île-à-Rat

Once you arrive on the island, a world of tranquility and natural beauty awaits. Here, you’re guaranteed peace and the freedom to bask in the riches of the Caribbean Sea, enjoying serene evenings no matter the season. If you’re anything like us, finding joy in an afternoon nap under the shade of a coconut tree, then Île-à-Rat is your dream destination. That’s exactly what we did last time we visited, laying our blankets on the immaculate sand, just a few meters from the inviting turquoise waters.

Île-à-Rat is not just beautiful; it’s picture-perfect, with its towering coconut trees setting a scene that seems straight out of a childhood fairy tale. Feel free to set up a camp right after you disembark, creating a spot that’s sure to spark envy in your friends when they see your snapshots.

A Thousand and One Things to Do on Amiga Island

Right by the sparkling beach, you’ll find a hidden nook ideal for a BBQ or grilling fresh seafood, uniquely flavorful thanks to Île-à-Rat’s magic. We recommend lambi (conch) or crab. Enjoy these treats with local Prestige beer or esteemed Haitian rum, directly from fishermen eager to share their stories and culinary secrets.

Île-à-Rat isn’t just about the food; if you’re seeking a moment of Zen, a quaint porch awaits, where you can meditate and practice yoga amidst nature’s embrace. Just beyond the shore, a quintessential Caribbean adventure beckons with an array of water activities.

Kayak along the island’s breathtaking coastline, swim in the crystal-clear waters, and snorkel to uncover hidden treasures like ancient cannons and anchors resting on the ocean floor. Alternatively, explore a nearby coral nursery, carefully tended by a local organization, and immerse yourself in the underwater world’s wonders. And for those who love the simple joys, why not relax in the shade with a book, letting the hours slip by in blissful peace?

For the energetic spirits, a brisk walk or run around the island, which takes about 10 minutes, offers a refreshing way to revel in its beauty.

How to get there

Best time to visit

Visiting Île-à-Rat offers a delightful experience year-round, thanks to its tropical climate. For a quieter visit with cooler weather, aim for September to February, though summer months offer perfect conditions for sunbathing and enjoying the island’s serene beaches. Note that the island becomes livelier on days when Royal Caribbean ships dock, bringing cruisers for daytrips to the island.

Nine Lesser-known Beaches to Visit in Haiti

Nine Lesser-known Beaches to Visit in Haiti

Uncover Haiti’s almost unknown beaches far away from the overcrowded tourist hotspots. These are the top nine beaches that only the locals know about.

In the heart of the Caribbean, located between Cuba and the Dominican Republic, Haiti is home to some of the region’s most beautiful beaches. We’ve scoured the coastline to find the best hidden pockets of paradise, with fine, warm sands, crystal-clear waters, and shading palm trees. Best of all, these beaches are far away from the overcrowded tourist hotspots.

From the secluded cove of Anse D’azur to the vast sandy stretches at Chouchou Bay, here are the most glorious beaches in Haiti that remain undiscovered by most travelers.

1. Anse d’Azur

Located on Haiti’s southern peninsula in the department of Grand’Anse lies the charming city of Jérémie. Known for its talented poets and local delicacies, such as konparet and tonm tonm, the city is also home to a picturesque beach tucked away from the world, known only to the locals. Anse D’azur offers 80 meters of perfect golden sand protected by the rocky coast in a crescent-shaped bay. Take a dip in the warm waters, and if you’re looking for adventure, snorkel or dive to explore the nearby shipwreck and caves.

Anse D’Azur is a short 15-minute drive from Jérémie’s city center. Just follow the coastal road towards the airport, and you’ll find it on the outskirts of the city limits, where the last few houses meet the wild tropical forest.

2. Anse Baguette

Imagine a beach so secluded that just getting there is an adventure. Welcome to Anse Baguette. Tucked away on a peninsula that juts out to form the Bay of Jacmel, this lesser-known Haitian beach is a perfect retreat for unwinding. If you’re in the mood for some exploration, the nearby ruins of the old French Fort Baguette and a hidden waterfall, just an hour’s hike away, await your discovery. Keep in mind, the beach’s remote location means bringing your own water and snacks is a must. If lunch plans slip your mind, you might be in luck – local fishermen are often happy to serve up freshly prepared poisson gros sel.

There are no roads leading to this isolated peninsula, so your journey to Anse Baguette will begin with a motorboat ride from the shores of Jacmel. This boat ride, lasting about 30 minutes, offers a chance to enjoy the gorgeous coastline along the way.

3. Ti Mouillage

This serene and often overlooked beach in Haiti’s South East department is just a 30-minute drive east of Jacmel. On your way there, you might want to make a stop at the popular and always busy Raymond Les Bains beach, a great spot for lunch. But if solitude is what you seek, continue further to Cayes-Jacmel, where Ti Mouillage awaits. This beach is usually quiet, except for the occasional local who’ll offer you coconuts, freshly opened with his machete.

Ti Mouillage isn’t just about relaxation; it’s also a fantastic destination for beginner surfers. With Surf Haiti nearby, you can easily rent boards or take surfing lessons, making it an ideal spot for those looking to ride their first waves.

4. Malfini Beach

If you ever find yourself in Cap-Haïtien and craving some quality beach time, Malfini Beach is your go-to destination. This small cove is stunningly beautiful, a perfect escape from the noise of the city. The crystal-clear waters are ideal for snorkeling, offering a glimpse into the coral reefs, or you can simply choose to relax on the sandy shores, shaded by trees. Kayaking enthusiasts will also find Malfini Beach to be an excellent spot for their water adventures.

To get there, prepare for a short 20-minute boat ride from Labadee. It’s best to dress in shorts or swimwear, as you’ll need to wade through thigh-deep water from the boat to reach this idyllic beach.

5. Cadras

Hidden at the bottom of a deep v-shaped cove, guarded on each side by jungle-covered mountain ridges that seemingly slide into the ocean, Cadras boasts turquoise waters that look straight out of a Hollywood movie. The small beach, only around 40 meters long, is an oasis of tranquility, with few tourists around to disturb the peace.

To reach Cadras from Cap-Haïtien, take a taxi or public transportation like a taptap or moto towards Cormier and continue to the end of the road in Labadee. From there, take one of the small taxi boats waiting in the harbor for a 20-minute ride to Cadras. Remember to negotiate the price with the boat captain before boarding.

6. Chouchou Bay

Chouchou Bay, situated further down the northern coast from Cap-Haïtien, offers a spectacular stretch of golden, powdery sand that seamlessly blends land, sky, and sea. This expansive beach promises a serene retreat, but reaching it can be somewhat iffy. Expect a full-day trip, with about two hours of travel each way, as the roads leading there are not in the best condition. Located near the city of Port-Margot, Chouchou Bay is not just a beach but a gateway to explore nearby natural wonders.

One such attraction is Bassin Waka, between the Morne Zombi and Morne Bak mountains. Though challenging to access, the journey to this inland lagoon is absolutely worth it. Imagine ending a vigorous hike by plunging into the cool, refreshing waters of Bassin Waka. This spot isn’t just a natural paradise; it holds cultural significance too. Known as a site for vodou ceremonies and pilgrimages, locals believe the waters here have healing properties.

7. Anse Blanche

Picture yourself on a white-sand beach, surrounded by nothing but nature in its purest form. Anse Blanche, situated on the uninhabited island of Petite Cayemite, offers just that – a pristine cove with only the sound of the ocean waves and birdsong to keep you company.

To get there, you’ll have to take a 15-minute boat ride from the nearby village of Pestel and remember to bring your own supplies. Leave nothing behind but your footprints on the sand.

8. Kokoye Beach

Accessible only by boat or a challenging 2-3 hour hike, Kokoye is a secluded beach paradise on a remote peninsula south of Petit-Goâve. Surrounded by rocky outcrops and tranquil waters the top drawcards here are paddle boarding, snorkeling, swimming and a unique glamping experience.

With no nearby electricity, the beach transforms into a stargazer’s paradise at night. Visitors can enjoy sea-to-table meals, with fresh, locally sourced seafood, and explore nearby attractions like sea caves and historical ruins

9. Amani-y Beach

Among Haiti’s lesser-known coastal treasures, Amani-y Beach in Saint-Marc stands out as a peaceful alternative. A short 30 minute drive from the popular Royal Decameron Beach, it’s perfect for those who favor quiet shores over crowded spots.

Be prepared for a bit of an adventure getting there, as the final stretch of the road requires a four-wheel drive. It’s a bring-your-own-supplies kind of place, so pack plenty of water and whatever else you might need for a day at this almost unknown beach.

1. Start with the finest, Abaka Bay

Begin your Haitian beach adventure with a visit to Abaka Bay, recently named one of the world’s most beautiful beaches by CNN. Located on the enchanting island of Île à Vache, this bay features a pristine white sand beach and calm Caribbean waters framed by rolling hills and verdant foliage.

Abaka Bay Resort offers guests a truly exclusive and secluded experience. Bungalows situated directly on the beach provide panoramic views and direct access to the sugar-fine sand and crystal-clear sea. Dining options are equally impressive, with a restaurant offering breathtaking views of the ocean and epic sunsets.

Getting there
To reach Île à Vache, simply take a 15-20 minute boat ride from Les Cayes. The island is located in the Bay of Les Cayes off the southern coast of Haiti.

2. Tiny, yet Stunning Île a Rat (Amiga Island)

From the moment you set foot on Ile a Rat (also known as Amiga Island), this tiny slice of paradise will steal your heart. Its sleek, white sand beach immediately catches the eye, while the gentle waves create a dreamy oasis against the pearlescent shoreline.

Located in the turquoise waters off the coast of Plaine du Nord in northern Haiti, Ile a Rat is a 1.8-hectare piece of white coral covered in a small, wild forest. The island is a peaceful retreat, making it a particularly romantic setting for couples looking for a serene getaway.

Getting there
To get to Ile a Rat, you can take one of the many boat taxis waiting in Labadee, which is a 30-minute drive from Cap-Haïtien. Keep in mind that the island is uninhabited, so it’s important to bring everything you need for a comfortable stay, including drinking water.

3. Côtes des Arcadins: The Ideal Dive Destination

Nestled on the north edge of Port-au-Prince Bay, Côtes des Arcadins spans 19 kilometers of white sand beaches lined with palm trees, making it one of Haiti’s most popular beach destinations. The combination of the deep blue sea, mountains, mangrove forests, and the coral reef formed by the Arcadins islets creates a breathtaking sight. With so much to explore beneath the surface, scuba diving and jet-skiing are popular activities here.

Côtes des Arcadins has something for everyone, with well-known hotels and resorts such as the ever-popular Decameron (previously known as Club Indigo), as well as other favorites like Wahoo Bay and the newly opened Moulin Sur Mer. However, if you’re seeking a more beach experience away from the crowds, venture off to one of the lesser-known beaches in the area.

Getting there
The Arcadins Coast borders the town of Montrouis, near Saint-Marc, and is located just a few hours north of Port-au-Prince. To fully enjoy your stay, consider staying at one of the lodges or hotels along the coast.

4. The Pearl of the South: Pointe Sable

Port-Salut is home to the famous southern beach of Pointe Sable, a true picture perfect destination that is bound to leave you in awe. This two-kilometer stretch of golden sand is surrounded by palm trees and small thatched roof bars, creating a rural charm that attracts thousands of visitors each year. Port-Salut is also home to several popular festivals and beach parties.

In recent years, Pointe Sable has become a popular weekend getaway from Port-au-Prince, with a growing number of hotels popping up along the coast. Despite this, the area has yet to reach the level of overcrowding seen in other Caribbean destinations. For those looking for adventure, Port-Salut offers several options. You can visit the pretty Cascade Touyac waterfall, which is about a half-hour walk inland, or head up into the hills for a visit to the Grotte Marie Jeanne in Port-à-Piment.

Getting there
To reach Port-Salut, take National Road 2 from Port-au-Prince towards Les Cayes, and continue to Port-Salut, located 30 kilometers west of Les Cayes. The drive from Port-au-Prince takes approximately three hours.

5. Endless Thrills and Relaxation at Labadee Beach

Labadee is a popular beach destination on the northern coast of Haiti, famous for its beauty and activities. The area boasts four white sand beaches, cafés, and the country’s only port serving as a cruise ship stop. Labadee offers a wide range of activities, from cruising and shopping at souvenir shops to dining at restaurants and enjoying the thrill of a 450-foot-high zipline. You’ll also find plenty of opportunities to relax and unwind, with long stretches of beach and plenty of spots to sit, lay down, and soak up the sun.

There are several options for food and drinks, including Dragon’s Cafe, Labadee Cafe, and Columbus Cove Cafe, all serving a delicious lunch buffet. And don’t forget to stop by the Floating Bar at Adrenaline Beach for a signature Labadoozie frozen cocktail. The Artisan’s Village is also a must-visit, where you can find handmade crafts and souvenirs made by local artists.

For those seeking thrills, there’s no shortage of excitement to be found at Labadee. The possibilities for adventure are endless, from zip-lining across the ocean to jumping on floating trampolines. And for a unique view of the island, you can parasail or speed around the shoreline on a speedboat.

Getting there
Labadee beach is operated by Royal Caribbean Cruises. The best (and only) way to get there is by joining a cruise that stops at Labadee. Please note that, unfortunately, it is not possible for cruise guests to leave the area and visit other attractions in the region.

Book a cruise now and make Labadee the next stop on your Caribbean voyage here!

6. Cormier Beach, Where Mountains Meet the Sea

Moulin Sur Mer

Moulin-sur-Mer is one of the Arcadins Coast’s star destinations; with idyllic sunsets and a warm tropical atmosphere, it is sure to capture the quintessential island lover.

First Impressions

The Arcadins Coast is one of Haiti’s greatest prides. Located in Montrouis, a few miles away from the capital, it faces the largest island nestled in the country’s bay: the island of La Gonave. In front of this turquoise blue ocean with beautiful waves and idyllic sunsets is where Moulin-sur-Mer rises.

Rooms

Moulin-sur-Mer features Hibiscus and Ginger rooms, the difference mostly lying in the decor choices. Bungalows, as well as classics and suites are available in classic Caribbean-style decor, highlighting Haitian art at every turn. If you want to be closer to the sea, you’ll want to book a bungalow; however, if you want to be closer to the amenities on the main grounds, a classic room or a suite would better suit your needs.

What’s for breakfast?

Breakfast at Moulin-sur-Mer is served at the Voomtak, their main seaside dining area, where local and international cuisine mingle for culinary good. Being so close to the Montrouis farmers market means that fresh, local produce will always grace your plate. Enjoy made-to-order omelets, fresh fruit, baked goods, standard international breakfast staples, but also Haitian breakfast stars like pasta or oatmeal.

How about lunch and dinner?

Voomtak also serves lunch and dinner. Again, here, Haitian food specialties like djondjon rice or seafood etouffées sit alongside fresh vegetables coming straight from the nearby market. Discover the ways international cuisine like stir-fry crosses path with Haitian spices. The Taino Lounge offers a menu of its own, as well as lively happy hours. Should you want a different, more intimate dining experience, the Captain’s Pagoda is a more discreet options that is also available to you.

Is there a bar?

If you’re looking to enjoy a delicious, refreshing drink, poolside or seaside, make a stop at the Moulin’s Cabaret. Classic drinks and exclusive cocktails make for star-studded afternoons and evenings. Happy hours here are very popular, and highly recommended!

Activities and amenities

Moulin’s main amenity is its marina. From scuba diving to water sports to PADI-certified courses, it’s an ocean lover’s paradise. Excursions are also available, both on land and on boats. Explore the depth of the Haitian coastline, both on and off the water.

Within a short walk you can find…

Before even getting out of your city clothes and into your bathing suit, you will walk past the Ogier Fombrun museum, where you can learn more about the city of Montrouis and its inhabitants. The museum is guarded in a colonial building that has lost none of its charm, and that is surrounded by coconut trees amongst other foliage that does nothing but add to its beauty.

Need to know (before you go)

Moulin-sur-Mer offers different packages based on your stay’s needs. If you are just stopping by, or taking advantage of your last day on the island, consider a Day Pass. If however, you’d like to dedicate time to this area of the island, an all-inclusive offer or a Stay & Dive package might be best for you.
