Le Jardin des Parfums et des Epices

Nestled in the Mare Longue area just outside Saint Philippe, Réunion, the Le Jardin des Parfums et des Epices stands as a verdant oasis bursting with over 1,500 species of perfume plants, spice plants, and more. Established as the island's first private garden open to the public in 1989, this botanical haven offers visitors a captivating journey through the rich flora of Réunion Island. Travellers can explore rare endemic species, remarkable century-old trees, and lush landscapes on guided tours departing at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. daily. With options for private visits and tastings of local delights like quality coffee and péi tea, the garden provides an immersive experience in the heart of Réunion's wild south.
