Where to stay in the West of Reunion Island?
The West holds the island’s finest beaches and lagoons: Boucan Canot and Saint-Gilles for the buzz, l’Hermitage and La Saline for the family lagoon, Saint-Leu for surf and nature. Depending on your wishes, we guide you to the area and home that suit you.
Short-term rental has taken hold on the west coast because it answers very different needs: a family week away, a couple of nights between stages of a tour of the island, or a work trip lasting several weeks.
The choice of area matters more than the length of stay. Saint-Gilles and Boucan Canot suit stays where everything should be within walking distance; L’Hermitage and La Saline suit family holidays by the lagoon; Saint-Leu suits active stays; La Possession and Le Port suit practical ones.
The season matters too. The austral winter is drier and is the high season; the austral summer is hotter and more humid, with a cyclone season to factor into planning. Booking early remains advisable during school holidays.
