Villa Belle

Top choice in Réunion

LoginSave

Occupying a converted Creole mansion, this oh-so-chic maison d'hôte is the epitome of a refined cocoon, revelling quietly in minimalist lines, soothing colour accents and nice decorative touches. Our favourites are the two stand-alone Coloniale units, with their own little pond around the terrace. After a day of turf pounding, relax in the stress-melting pool. It's gay friendly.

Breakfast (€20 to €40) and dinner (€65) are available by request. Prices drop by 15% if you stay three nights or more.
