Reunion Vacation Deals

For a unique stay, head to the Cirque de Mafate and its tiny hamlets. Only accessible by foot or helicopter, it feels like time’s stood still in this valley where chalets are surrounded by jagged peaks. Hike to the cosy wooden cabins of La kaz l'Infirmière, one of Réunion’s many gîtes or hiking rest stops. Enjoy starry nights, nature-bathing days, and home-cooked breakfasts and dinners. 

Lux Saint Gilles is the only five-star hotel on the island right on the beach – Plage de l’Hermitage (Hermitage Beach) to be exact, between Saint Gilles les Bains and La Saline. Reminiscent of a Mauritian resort, it offers three restaurants, a large sparkling pool and luxurious rooms with tropical garden and sea views. 

Stay in a tropical paradise of coconut trees at the Terre Rouge (Red Earth) B&B in Saint Joseph, just over an hour by car from the capital city of Saint Denis. The secluded wood and basalt stone bungalows have no doors or windows, just large curtains for privacy. And the best feature? Outdoor vintage-style ball and claw bathtubs! While seemingly remote, this B&B is close to shops, cafés, the beach and coastline hiking trails. 

For an island-holiday feeling with all the convenience of home, the Résidence Santa Apolonia in central Saint Leu on the west coast offers just that. An aparthotel with serviced self-catering apartments, Apolonia boasts gorgeous mountain views, a turquoise pool, and is only a two-minute walk from the beach and shops.
