Sea views, the highlight of a West-coast holiday
The West coast is famous for its ocean sunsets and lagoon panoramas. A sea-view home means enjoying the landscape at any time, steps from the beaches of Boucan Canot, Saint-Gilles and La Saline.
The west coast faces the setting sun, which is what makes a sea view on this side of the island worthwhile. The show changes every evening, and you take it in from the terrace without going anywhere.
Not all sea views are alike. A lagoon view gives turquoise tones and flat water; a view over the open ocean, further north or from the heights, offers a clear horizon and the movement of the swell. Properties set higher up add a perspective along the whole coast.
During the austral winter, humpback whales pass offshore. From a well-oriented property it is not unusual to catch a blow or a breach without leaving the terrace — no guarantees, but a real possibility in that season.
Sea view: what to check before booking
A few points that separate two properties both advertised as “sea view”:
- Orientationdue west for the sunset, further north for a clear horizon.
- Elevationa property on the slopes gives a wider view, but sits further from the beaches.
- The foregroundvegetation, rooftops or a road can change how the view reads.
- The terracea sea view is best enjoyed from a comfortable, shaded outdoor space.
Frequently asked questions
Do the homes have a direct sea view?
They are selected for their ocean or lagoon view — tell us your expectations and we will guide you.
Are they close to the beach?
Yes, these homes are close to the West coast beaches and lagoons.
How do I book a sea-view home?
Contact us directly for availability on your dates.
Does “sea view” mean right on the beach?
Not necessarily. Some properties are steps from the sand, others offer a panoramic view from higher ground. The actual distance is stated on each property page.
Can you see whales from the property?
It is possible during the austral winter, when humpback whales visit the island’s waters. Nothing is guaranteed: sightings depend on the animals passing.
Are hillside properties far from the beaches?
They generally involve a short drive. In exchange, the view is wider and the setting quieter.
