Full of photogenic landscapes and diverse terrain, Réunion has established itself as a hikers’ paradise. This enchanting island sits amidst the Indian Ocean and features a coastline dotted with charming cities and volcano-bound mountain paths. Hiking is the number one activity on Réunion, which is no surprise considering there’s almost 1,000 km of trails scattered around the island. The Cirque of Mafate route features lunar-esque landscapes leading up to the edge of the Piton de la Fournaise (‘Eye of the Furnace’) crater. If you’re up for a real challenge, then try out one of the island’s long distance trails. The GR R1 (60 km), GR R2 (130 km) aren’t for the faint-hearted but reward those who dare with breathtaking views onto the island. Réunion is also home to a thriving food scene, with a delicious fusion of Creole, Indian, Chinese and French cuisines. Local beach shacks are the place to go for straight-off-the-boat seafood, while markets are packed with exotic fruit and vegetables. Hotels range from two-star up to luxury resorts, but can get booked up quickly during high season (July to August, mid-December to mid-January). A number of B&Bs, apartments and holiday homes are also available.

New and well-furnished room, big and modern, bathroom as well. There was also a sort of second room which gave access to the outside.
We could use the swimming pool and that was super.

Set in a 150 hectare park on La Reunion island, Hôtel Diana Dea Lodge & SPA is 9 Km from Sainte-Anne. This 4-star hotel features an infinity pool and a spa offering facials and massages.
Guest review
we were fortunate enough to get two free upgrades so we were all in superior rooms( 3 bookings). The rooms were wonderful with great snacks, chocolates each night and a wonderful dinner and breakfast. we stayed for two nights and each night the dinner was the same, which is of course understandable but perhaps not so great if you are staying a long time.
With the difficult drive up to the lodge, you don't really want to eat out at night, so prepare to eat dinner there as well. the tasting menu is 95 euro pp.

Sarana Hotel and Spa Salazie Reunion Island
We stayed at Sarana Hotel in Salazie for two nights. Everything was perfect! We asked for two communicating rooms which is very practical with children. Both rooms had their own very comfortable bathroom. The view from the terraces was breathtaking. The bedding was of a very high quality. The hotel has a spa and a heated outdoor swimming pool. The garden is very pleasant and well maintained. The hotel restaurant is worthy of the finest restaurants. We dined there both days à la carte. Sublime. The breakfast (a la carte) is on a par with the four stars the hotel has to offer. The staff are stylish and attentive to our needs. The mini bar was offered, thank you.
We recommend to visit Hellbour and the famous maison Folio. And to have some hiking around.
A very big thank you to reception who helped us in our search for a doctor.

Friendly staff, great location for a few days to explore the area. Our ocean view room was very comfortable and the views from the balcony, amazing. Several restaurants available a minute walk from the hotel, good holiday vibes. We had a great stay in Boucan Canot.
