Réunion is an intense island: from white sandy beaches to snow-capped summits, from wild cirques to colourful seabeds, each day reveals a different face. From Santa Apolonia, exploring the island is within easy reach.
On the sun-drenched western side of the island, Saint-Leu is a haven for those who love relaxed beach days, water sports and Creole culture.
Often described as the outdoor sports capital of the Intense Island, the town brings together a remarkable array of activities along Réunion’s west coast. Take to the skies on a tandem paragliding flight, watch surfers tackle the legendary Gauche de Saint-Leu, or book a diving excursion. Thrill-seekers will also find their adrenaline fix in canyoning, mountain biking in the highlands, or climbing Piton de la Fournaise.
The west coast also comes alive with sporting events, competitions and local gatherings. Every Saturday morning, the waterfront market animates the seafront with tropical fruits, spices, samoussas and handcrafted goods.
Above all, Saint-Leu is an excellent starting point for discovering Réunion in all its intensity. From your apartment, explore an island of contrasts where each day promises a different advenente.
