Family stay in La Réunion: everything you need to know

Family stay In Réunion: everything you need to know before coming

Organizing a family stay in Réunion requires accommodation that is comfortable, flexible, and well located. By choosing a seasonal rental in Réunion with Le Jardin de Corail, you opt for a formula designed for families. Here is a complete guide to prepare as best as possible.

Why choose a family seasonal rental in Réunion?

More space for everyone

Unlike a simple hotel room, a seasonal rental often offers several rooms: separate bedrooms, living room, equipped kitchen, sometimes a terrace or garden. For a family, this means: everyone has their own space, children can play freely, and parents can relax without being “in” the bedroom. In addition, on the island of Réunion, the offer of family villas or apartments via Le Jardin de Corail covers sought-after areas such as La Saline-les-Bains, Saint-Gilles-les-Bains or Saint-Paul.

Flexibility of meals and schedules

In a seasonal rental, the kitchen is equipped, which allows you to prepare your meals, adapt schedules according to the age of the children, and even discover Creole cuisine at your own pace. This offers much more freedom than a hotel where dining hours are fixed.

Better value for money for families

When you travel with several people, a rental can be more economical and more comfortable. You avoid multiplying hotel rooms, and often you benefit from bonus services (parking, washing machine, terrace) included or at a lower cost. This allows you to better распределить the vacation budget and to prioritize family activities.

Ideal places for a family stay with Le Jardin de Corail

La Saline-les-Bains: lagoon and serenity

La Saline-les-Bains is a perfect locality for families: protected lagoon, accessible beach, relaxed atmosphere. Choosing a seasonal rental in La Saline-les-Bains means being able to let the children play in shallow water, while being close to shops and restaurants. Le Jardin de Corail offers accommodations in this area, which makes it a strategic choice for a family stay.

Saint-Gilles-les-Bains: entertainment and amenities

For families who want to combine calm and activities, Saint-Gilles-les-Bains is an excellent compromise. Beach, marina, markets and restaurants offer a lively setting but suitable for children. A seasonal rental in this area via Le Jardin de Corail puts you at the heart of the action, while keeping your personal space.

Saint-Paul and its surroundings: authenticity and access to nature

If you favor hiking, nature or a more local atmosphere, the Saint-Paul area is particularly interesting. For a family, this means access to natural sites, walks, and moments of discovery. A seasonal rental in this area gives you a comfortable base to spread out.
