On the west coast of Réunion, Saint-Paul lines up lagoons, sandy beaches and trails that climb toward the cirques. The birthplace of the island's first settlement, this region combines a lively seafront, surfing and paragliding spots, and direct access to the heights of Mafate.
Swim, walk and surf
Start with the Saint-Paul open-air market, held Friday and Saturday along the seafront: fruit, spices, samosas and crafts. For swimming, head to the Ermitage lagoon and Boucan Canot beach, where you can swim in calm water and settle in at sunset.
Saint-Leu is the hub for surfing, bodyboarding and the paragliders that take off above the lagoon. There you can visit Kélonia, the sea turtle observatory, and the Stella Matutina museum, set in a former sugar factory. Above Dos d'Âne, the Cap Noir lookout opens onto the cirque of Mafate and its hiking trails.
Where to set down your bags
In Saint-Paul, you're close to the market, the beaches and Saint-Gilles, a good base camp for exploring the coast. Our houses and villas with fully equipped kitchens suit families and groups who want to keep their own pace.
Saint-Leu appeals to surfing fans and those keen on sea outings, Trois Bassins offers greener and cooler heights, Le Port remains handy for arriving by boat, and Dos d'Âne is for walkers setting off toward Mafate.

Are the properties well rated?
Yes. Rated properties show an average of 4.5 out of 5, based on 36 properties reviewed by travelers. This rating reflects genuine feedback after a stay. Be sure to read the detailed reviews on each listing to check amenities, cleanliness and location before booking.
How do you get there, and do you need a car?
Roland Garros Airport, in Sainte-Marie, is about a 40-minute drive from Saint-Paul via the coastal road. A rental car is highly recommended: the beaches, Saint-Leu and the viewpoints in the highlands are spread out and poorly served by public transport.
What's the best time to visit?
The austral winter, from May to November, offers dry weather and mild temperatures, ideal for hiking and swimming. Summer, from December to March, is hotter and more humid, with a risk of cyclones. Avoid this season for treks toward Mafate.
Which area should I choose for my stay?
Saint-Paul and Saint-Gilles are great bases near the beaches and the market. Saint-Leu appeals to surfers and those keen on boat trips. Trois Bassins offers cool, green surroundings at higher elevation. Dos d'Âne suits hikers heading toward the Cirque de Mafate.
Where can I enjoy the Saint-Paul outdoor market?
The outdoor market takes place along the seafront on Fridays and Saturdays. You'll find tropical fruits, spices, samosas and local crafts. Go early in the morning to avoid the crowds and heat, and to find parking more easily nearby.
