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.
