Reunion Island’s only five-star hotel nestled on the beach is a colonial gem fringed by a calm lagoon

Life is sweet at LUX* Saint Gilles, Reunion Island’s only five-star. The island is ripe for exploration and LUX* Saint Gilles is the perfect base from which to experience what is known as “l’île intense”–the wild island. Tucked away under the filao trees on the beach facing L’Hermitage, the prettiest lagoon, it will quickly become your colonial-style home in the tropics.
