Adventurers love this far-flung corner of France.  And this is the volcanic island’s only five-star beach resort – bang on Reunion’s best stretch of coral-enhanced sands, fringing a reef-sheltered lagoon.  Not fussy or formal, these pine trees and plantation-style porched villas beg you to unwind.  Although many guests find there are too many natural attractions on their doorstep to linger long after breakfast, you might find yourself torn about whether to stray further than the sun lounger.

As well as showcasing the island’s largest swimming pool, there are power-plate and Pilates classes, tennis, snorkelling and volleyball on tap – plus petanque too.  Naturellement.  The French accent is also deliciously evident in the elegant eateries, suited to every mood, from relaxed beachside seafood platter brunches at La Plage to landmark celebrations in elegant Orangine with a wine cellar worth a toast or two.

Entertain in your villa or call for a ride to the restaurant – you will find everything you need in your villa whilst enjoying access to an array of five-star facilities including spas, gyms and swimming pools, to cafes, bars and exceptional restaurants.
