Reunion South

The southern region of Reunion is known for its lush tropical rainforests, spectacular beaches, and breathtaking volcanic scenery. The dramatic rugged terrain drops off steep cliffs and fades from dramatic basalt shorelines into the rolling waves of the Indian Ocean. Visitors can look forward to an array of wonderful activities, including exploring the magnificent perfume and spice garden near Saint‑Philippe, hiking the impressive Piton de la Fournaise, and visiting the Turmeric Museum in the small village of Plaine des Grègues. Reunion South is dotted with many mountain and seaside villages, cultivated coffee and spice farmlands and vast stretches of untouched landscape, which all play a part in showcasing the island’s early history, rich cultural heritage and natural beauty.
