When fire and water meet in their blue and red dance of contrast, bursting through craters and crashing into shores, we get marvels like Reunion Island. The dramatic landscape casts enchanting spells through rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and black-sand beaches.
Nestled in the vibrance of azure waters and the alabaster beaches of St. Gilles, resorts redefine relaxation. Ascend to the heights of Piton de la Fournaise and observe the face of nature brimming with rage on one of the world’s most active volcanoes. From there, absorb the dramatic panorama of the Plaine des Sables and Pas de Bellecombe. Nothing can match the joy of heartbeats quickened by adventures. Through canyoning and zip-lining, you can refresh your dull heart rate.
The dishes of the Reunion Islands are influenced by India, China, France, Madagascar, and African cooking traditions. The use of exotic flora in their cooking sets the cuisine apart. With an abundance of fish and spices, you can have a fulfilling experience during your mealtimes as well.
