Reunion at a Glance
About Reunion
Reunion Island, located off the coast of East Africa, is an unmissable destination for its stunning natural beauty and vibrant Creole culture. The standout attraction is the Piton de la Fournaise volcano, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that offers breathtaking views and a chance to observe its unique geology. Travellers love the island's laid-back atmosphere and the opportunity to try local specialties like Accras de morue, a delicious fish fritter.
The best time to visit Reunion Island is from May to October, when the weather is dry and sunny, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking and water sports. For first-timers, a practical tip is to rent a car to explore the island's scenic routes and beaches, such as the stunning Grand Anse d'Arroses, which can be tricky to reach by public transportation.
