What you’ll do

This 3-day slow-travel itinerary is your invitation to unwind on La Réunion’s west coast, where the waves sparkle, the swimming is safe, and the pace matches the island’s rhythm. Designed for cultural explorers, mindful travelers, and ocean lovers, this route blends natural pools, gentle walks, and wildlife encounters with plenty of time to just… be.

You’ll snorkel at Boucan Canot, stroll the coral shores near Manapany, visit rescued sea turtles at Kelonia, and sip fresh piña coladas under palm trees at La Maison du Coco. We’ve added optional short walks, the best beachside eats, and ethical experiences that connect you with the island’s ocean ecology and slow-living soul.

Includes: daily schedule, tips for swimming safety, accessibility notes, places to eat, and ideas for doing less — better.
