Location Summary
Reunion Island is a French island located in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar and about 200 kilometers (120 miles) southwest of Mauritius, the nearest island. Unlike its neighbor, Mauritius, Reunion Island's main attraction is not its beaches. True, St-Gilles-Les-Bains is packed up with bathers and bakers during holiday periods and it is a mighty fine beach, but if beaches are what you want, you'd be better off in Mauritius or Maldives. That said, Reunion's volcanic origins grant it an extraordinarily beautiful landscape, one characterized by high peaks, deep canyons and plains. Trekking is the most obvious activity and is perhaps also the most rewarding: whether you're gazing up at proud volcanic peaks, or staring down from those same peaks, you're in for fantastic scenery. The towns are adorned with colonial architecture and are excellent starting points for inland adventures. With a total area of 2500km2, it's a true island of contrasts, with the active volcano of Piton de la Fournaise on its south coast, 27km of pristine beaches to the west, and lush mountain terrain in between. The capital of the island is the city of Saint-Denis. Reunion Island is the perfect destination for travelers seeking both a relaxing island holiday and an action-packed adventure trip. Hike the island's unique cirques and the active Piton de la Fournaise volcano. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage status natural park to see the island's native flora and fauna up close. Go canyoning over La Réunion's many waterfalls or take to the ocean with a scuba diving or surfing expedition. The island also features almost 1000km of hiking trails over incredibly contrasting landscapes. Once you've satisfied your adventurous side, kick back under a shady palm tree on the white beach and work on your tan. LUX Saint Gilles (formerly LUX Ile de La Reunion) is located in Saint-Gilles-Les-Bains and overlooks the most spectacular beach and the only lagoon of the island.
