Iloha Seaview Hotel

Réunion


The Iloha is a very good all-round hotel-resort set in a sprawling property north of town. Its tidy rooms and simply designed bungalows offer a great choice for everyone from couples to families. Precious perks include two pools, two restaurants, a wellness centre and well-tended gardens. Of the 80 rooms, about 10 have ocean views. Check the website for special offers.

While the standard rooms, which were upgraded in 2018, feel a bit claustrophobic, the bungalows offer ample space. Visitors after more privacy can choose a room in the Guetali building, which shelters enticing rooms with contemporary lines.
