The tiny dot of land in the Indian Ocean packs a punch with its dizzying hiking trails, magnetic shoreline, stunning beaches, and a truly unique blend of cultures encompassing French, African, Creole, Malagasy, Chinese and Indian heritage.

Beaches & Lagoons
Being an island in the Indian Ocean, Reunion naturally boasts a number of splendid beaches, some of the best being concentrated in the waterside stretch between the settlements of Saint-Gilles and l'Ermitage-Les-Bains - these beaches here are sheltered from strong waves by near-lying coral reefs. One of the prettiest white sand beaches on the island is the l’Hermitage, lined with trees to provide saving shade.
