Reunion Saint Gilles Les Bains
Saint Gilles Les Bains is Reunion's sun, sea & sand holiday mecca. Here, you’ll find everything it takes to ensure an unforgettable holiday. The wave-dashed beach is bordered by coral reefs where you can spend your days swimming, snorkelling or diving. As Reunion is a French prefect, Saint Gilles Les Bains has a distinctly French Riviera feel about it. It is also a playground of the young French elite, who come to enjoy the tropical climate and the island’s many attractions. The nightlife in this coastal village makes it the island’s fun capital: don’t miss the bars, restaurants, taverns and nightclubs.
Saint Leu is also on Reunion’s west coast, further south than Saint Gilles. It is renowned within the surfing community for its “left hand” waves, which attract surfers from around the globe.
