Full of photogenic landscapes and diverse terrain, Réunion has established itself as a hikers’ paradise. This enchanting island sits amidst the Indian Ocean and features a coastline dotted with charming cities and volcano-bound mountain paths. Hiking is the number one activity on Réunion, which is no surprise considering there’s almost 1,000 km of trails scattered around the island. The Cirque of Mafate route features lunar-esque landscapes leading up to the edge of the Piton de la Fournaise (‘Eye of the Furnace’) crater. If you’re up for a real challenge, then try out one of the island’s long distance trails. The GR R1 (60 km), GR R2 (130 km) aren’t for the faint-hearted but reward those who dare with breathtaking views onto the island. Réunion is also home to a thriving food scene, with a delicious fusion of Creole, Indian, Chinese and French cuisines. Local beach shacks are the place to go for straight-off-the-boat seafood, while markets are packed with exotic fruit and vegetables. Hotels range from two-star up to luxury resorts, but can get booked up quickly during high season (July to August, mid-December to mid-January). A number of B&Bs, apartments and holiday homes are also available.

Located in Reunion, Palm Hotel & Spa features spa facilities and 2 outdoor pools, one of which is heated.
Guest review
Incredible Hotel, one of the best I have ever been. Restaurants in the hotel are simply amazing and provide topclass food, there was simply no reason to visit other restaurants around. The view is magnificent and pools are clean. The hotel was so good that over our stay at Reunion we returned back after couple of days. And the staff at hotel are simply the best - friendly and helpful. Worth 100%.

Sarana Hotel and Spa Salazie Reunion Island
We stayed at Sarana Hotel in Salazie for two nights. Everything was perfect! We asked for two communicating rooms which is very practical with children. Both rooms had their own very comfortable bathroom. The view from the terraces was breathtaking. The bedding was of a very high quality. The hotel has a spa and a heated outdoor swimming pool. The garden is very pleasant and well maintained. The hotel restaurant is worthy of the finest restaurants. We dined there both days à la carte. Sublime. The breakfast (a la carte) is on a par with the four stars the hotel has to offer. The staff are stylish and attentive to our needs. The mini bar was offered, thank you.
We recommend to visit Hellbour and the famous maison Folio. And to have some hiking around.
A very big thank you to reception who helped us in our search for a doctor.

Le Doudou Hôtel takes its name from “Doudou”, an affectionate term deeply rooted in the spicy lexicon of Reunionese Creole, meaning “my darling”.
Guest review
First of all, it’s hard to find good accommodation here — most places are overpriced and have low standards. This one, however, is an exception. Everything was very clean, comfortable, and quiet — exactly what we look for in a vacation.

Super nice hosts, we had very late check in and they made it possible. Hotel owners are a super nice family and you feel right at home. The hotel is right in the center of cilaos and breakfast is great with lots of fresh fruits! We will definitely come back if we have the occasion!

Set in Étang-Salé, 5.3 km from Golf Club de Bourbon, Papangue Hôtel & Spa offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.
Guest review
The room was comfortable, clean and had nice interior design. We especially loved the balcony with its comfy lounge sofa to enjoy the view and watch the birds. The hotel is surrounded by greenery and feels like a little tropical oasis, where the rooms are arranged around the pool area. Like everything else, the pool looks beautiful, is kept impeccably clean, and is heated to a very pleasant temperature - both refreshing when it's warm, and not too cold for a morning swim.
Staff are all lovely and helpful.
The hotel restaurant is excellent with a nice selection of dishes and drinks. We enjoyed both breakfast and dinner here. They also have very interesting complementary lemonades for guests during the day at reception - haven't had the same twice during our 10 days stay.
