Hôtel Bellepierre

Réunion


Life feels less hurried in this oasis of calm, perched on a hillside about 3km south of the centre. As you'd expect from a four-star establishment, rooms are spacious, well fitted out and comfortable. Those in the main building were refurbished in 2018. The pièce de résistance is the medium-sized pool, which seems to melt into the sea on the horizon.

The rooms in the more recent building are the quietest and offer jaw-dropping views over the coast. Lovers of fine food will enjoy the cooking here – the on-site restaurant gets great reviews.
