LUX* Saint Gilles
Opulence unbound on a volcanic tropical island


Home to the largest pool on Réunion, Lux* Saint Gilles is the most extravagant resort on this out-of-the-way Indian Ocean island. Accommodation is in Creole-style villas bordering a lagoon and, as with other Lux* resorts, a sense of fun pervades with messages in bottles offering free spa treatments hidden around the resort and screens on the beach showing outdoor films. Activities include 4x4 volcano tours, helicopter trips and a host of water sports.
