Why stay in Boucan Canot?
Boucan Canot is famous for its sandy beach, its net-protected swimming area, its seafront restaurants and its spectacular sunsets. Minutes from Saint-Gilles, it is the chic address for a beach holiday in the West.
Boucan Canot is probably Réunion’s most recognisable beach: a cove of pale sand framed by basalt, facing due west, where people come as much for the day as for the sunset. The area belongs to the commune of Saint-Paul, just north of Saint-Gilles-les-Bains.
Unlike the lagoon beaches further south, Boucan Canot opens directly onto the ocean. Swimming takes place in the secured area set up for that purpose, an important detail to know before coming with children.
The seafront concentrates hotels, restaurants and terraces facing the sea. The feel is more polished and quieter than central Saint-Gilles, while staying minutes from its shops and marina.
