Leu Bleu Austral is a quiet, well-kept guesthouse in the upper reaches of Étang Saint-Leu, known for its panoramic ocean views, heated pool, and generous homemade breakfast. It’s ideal for couples or solo travellers who want comfort, calm, and easy access to both coast and inland hikes.

What to expect:

• Private terrace with a full kitchen and sea view in every room

• Heated outdoor pool, tropical garden, and secure on-site parking

• High-speed Wi-Fi, TV, DVD player, desk, safe, and modern bathroom

• Outstanding breakfast with local honey, homemade jam, cheese, and fruit

• 15 minutes from the Saint-Leu lagoon and 20 minutes from the Route des Tamarins

You get more privacy than a hotel and better views than most coastal stays. Hosts are discreet but helpful, and the setup makes it easy to self-cater or explore by car.

👉 Local tip: Book breakfast even if you usually skip it. The produce is local and fresh, and it’s one of the best on the island at this price point.
