Why stay in Saint-Gilles-les-Bains?

Saint-Gilles combines beaches, a marina, boat trips (dolphins, seasonal whales), an aquarium and nightlife. Right next to Boucan Canot and l’Hermitage, it is the ideal starting point for an active beach holiday in the West.

Saint-Gilles-les-Bains is the seaside heart of the west coast. This district of the commune of Saint-Paul brings together the marina, the beaches, the restaurants and most of the coast’s nightlife. It is the obvious choice for a stay where you want everything within walking distance.

The marina is the departure point for trips out to sea: dolphin watching, and humpback whales during their passage through the southern hemisphere, generally in the austral winter. The aquarium, next to the marina, rounds out the discovery of local marine life.

The beaches run from Roches Noires in the centre to the neighbouring areas of Boucan Canot to the north and L’Hermitage to the south. Each has its own feel: livelier near the centre, more family-oriented on the lagoon side.

Renting out your property in Saint-Gilles-les-Bains

In Saint-Gilles demand is strong, but so is supply: the difference is made by the quality of the welcome, cleanliness and the accuracy of the listing. A well-located property that is poorly presented lets less well than an equivalent one shown properly.

We handle management end to end: seasonal pricing, bookings, guest welcome, cleaning and upkeep. Having our team nearby means we can act quickly, which matters particularly in an area with high turnover.
