Reunion - Mauritius
100% customisable for you
Overnight flight, arrival the next day.
After a welcome at the airport, pick-up the rental car and drive along the coast to Saint-Gilles. Settle in for two nights in an enchanting setting, facing one of the island’s most beautiful beaches. Elegant Creole villas nestle in a tropical garden, just a short walk from the lagoon. The rooms are a celebration of refinement and modernity. The shades of beige, touches of turquoise, and Starck-designed armchairs come together harmoniously. Everything has been arranged so that everyone can enjoy their favourite activities: a long golden sandy beach, a crystal-clear swimming pool, water sports, a spa, and more.
Things to see and experience - Mix things up between Roches Noires beach on the edge of the town centre, Boucan-Canot beach to the north, and the white sand beaches of Ermitage shaded by casuarina trees - enjoy peaceful swims in the lagoon - spot remarkable marine life, including whales in the autumn - visit the Réunion Aquarium to continue exploring - stroll the paths of the Garden of Eden, a botanical garden that truly lives up to its name…
Optional extra: Hike in the Mafate cirque with a private guide.
Head southwest, continuing along the coast all the way to Petite-Ile. This name comes from the rocky islet - the only satellite of Réunion - which rises about 50 metres (164 feet) from the shore. This narrow strip of lava, almost inaccessible by boat, has become a natural sanctuary for tropicbirds, brown noddies, wedge-tailed shearwaters and other species of seabirds - all protected by the Coastal Conservatory. Stay for two nights just a short walk from Grande Anse beach - your hotel overlooks it. This hotel blends elegance and serenity, modern lines and traditional materials. It’s a visual triumph, with a superb spa and a swimming pool offering a splendid view.
Already planned - a ritual treatment for two. The spa at your hotel is a place outside time. Its refined world brings together all the treasures of the Indian Ocean: coconut scents, ylang-ylang from Mayotte, vanilla and vetiver… The ritual treatment begins with a fragrant steam bath, followed by a mineral treatment with semi-precious stones. You are then served a fresh fruit cocktail or a glass of champagne to share in a flower bath.
Head to the east of the island at last, and towards the windward coast. Less than two hours by car are needed via the Plaine des Cafres and des Palmistes, which separate the two Pitons. You’ll be staying for two nights at 650 metres (2133 feet) above sea level, above Sainte-Anne, right in the heart of the countryside. The hotel's stone and wood architecture blends harmoniously with the surrounding landscapes, while preserving them at the same time.
Already planned - a dinner at your hotel's restaurant. With a panoramic view of the Indian Ocean, the location blends mineral and plant elements, stone and tropical flowers, and precious woods. The chef offers a gourmet escape with a six-course tasting menu.
Return journey to Saint-Denis, return the rental car at the airport, and flight to Mauritius. Welcome on arrival and private transfer to the bay of Trou d'Eau Douce, then check in for five nights on the island’s east coast, where your hotel combines Eastern and Western elements. Azure waters stretch all around, as far as the eye can see. Each room opens onto the ocean through large picture windows, and some have direct access to the beach. Every day, you experience the legendary Mauritian hospitality. Off the coast, two beautiful islands are just a few minutes away by boat - Îlot Mangénie, reserved for hotel guests, and Île aux Cerfs, home to a golf course designed by Bernhard Langer.
Protected by both the lagoon and a bay, Trou d’Eau Douce is a charming village. To continue your explorations, you can head to the south of the island, which is less frequented than the north. Bel Ombre is a world-renowned scuba diving spot where just a mask and snorkel will transport you into the silent world beneath the waves. Le Morne Brabant is a UNESCO World Heritage mountain and a site of remembrance for Mauritius’s colonial history.
Already planned - Lunch at the restaurant on Îlot Mangénie. Generous seafood platters and freshly caught fish arrive straight at your table. Enjoy them with fresh cocktails and local rums to complete the experience. The idyllic setting around you makes this lunch a moment out of time.
Optional extra: Helicopter flight over the island.
Private transfer to the airport and return international flight via Réunion. Overnight flight, arrival the next day.
