Luxury Hotels in Reunion

A dramatic volcanic island in the Indian Ocean, Réunion is a French overseas department where epic landscapes meet Creole culture. The main draw is the raw, accessible power of nature within the Piton de la Fournaise, one of the world's most active volcanoes, and the sheer cliffs of the three calderas, especially Cirque de Mafate, only reachable on foot or by helicopter. Days are spent hiking through lush rainforest to waterfalls like Trou de Fer, driving the switchback roads of the interior, or watching the sunrise from the rim of Piton de la Fournaise itself.

For exploring the diverse coasts and mountains, consider basing yourself in the lively capital of Saint-Denis for its colonial architecture and dining, or the western beach towns like Saint-Gilles-les-Bains for a classic resort vibe with lagoon access. The island suits adventurous travelers and active couples perfectly, with plenty to engage families who enjoy the outdoors. Getting around requires a rental car, as public transport is limited outside the main urban areas; Roland Garros Airport near Saint-Denis is the main international gateway.

On HOTEVI, you'll find 46 hotels across Réunion, reflecting the island's range. Accommodation is dominated by comfortable, mid-range resorts and apartment hotels along the west coast, with a smaller selection of charming guesthouses and boutique hotels in the interior villages and in Saint-Denis.
