The unique circumstance of its creation lends the landscape an other-worldly quality, and makes the island one of the most bio-diverse areas on the planet.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT RÉUNION?

Réunion enjoys a tropical climate and weather is warm year round. Generally the best time to visit Réunion is during the dry season of May to November when temperatures are pleasant, rainfall minimal and humidity low.

The central, mountainous areas are cooler and often become cloudier from the early afternoon so it’s best to explore in the mornings.

Reunion Top Tips From Our Travel Experts

I always highly recommend booking excursions and restaurants in Réunion before departure, so that you don’t have to miss out once you arrive.

Packing cubes are a godsend! I always pack a clean set of clothes (any my swimsuit, if needed) in my hand luggage, just in case my checked bag goes on it's own adventure. I take a single universal adapter and then a UK extension cable so I don't have to worry about multiple plug types or outlets.
