AQUARIUM DE LA RÉUNION

Discover the La Réunion’s incredible aquarium on the central island of the Saint-Gilles-Les-Bains marina, a showcase open on to the ocean with 600 000 litres of seawater which sets the scene for the underwater wildlife of La Réunion.

Come and see 500 coral fish: sharks, barracudas, moray eels, sea-horses, clownfish and coral. Children get a guided tour commented by an octopus who is also the mascot.

LA PLAGE DE L’ERMITAGE (BEACH)

Ermitage beach is only 80 meters from Tropic Appart’Hôtel. This supervised beach offers a shallow swimming area, ideal for children and snacks for when you’re hungry.

This part of the coast has, among other numerous advantages, that of being protected by the winds and of offering a lagoon where the average temperature varies between 22 and 28°.

LA MAISON DE LA MANGUE

The visit includes the visit of a mango field, films, explanations, and of course, tasting the fruit!

LE JARDIN D’EDEN

Nestling in a splendid 2.5 hectare park, this ethnobotanical landscape garden invites you to discover spices and holy, medicinal, magical or even aphrodisiac plants…

In all, the Jardin d’Eden is home to around 700 species. You may even come across tortoises or moorhens as you wander around.

… AND IN THE SEA

Needless to say, there are lots of water sports all around our residence. You can go diving and discover the seabed (maiden dives for newcomers to the sport), try your hand at big game fishing, go for a relaxing sail on a boat or a catamaran, take a power boat, go surfing, sail on a paddle or in a transparent canoe…

and even take a boat ride to see whales and dolphins, or a little “Corail Safari” on a glass-bottomed boat to admire coral and multicoloured fish out at sea.

ACTIVITIES ON LAND AND IN THE AIR…

Thrill-seekers, Saint-Gilles and its surroundings are a playground of choice for you. You can fly over the region by paraglider, microlight, helicopter…

For those who prefer to stay with their feet on the ground, go for pony rides, quad biking, mountain biking or hiking (with a mountain guide if necessary), acrobatic courses in the trees, paintball, caving in lava tubes with guide…

LE GOLF DU BASSIN BLEU (GOLF COURSE)

If you are an experienced golfer or you’d like to make the most of your stay by taking your first steps on the green, come and try the Golf du Bassin Bleu in close proximity to our residence. This 18-hole golf course at an altitude of 400 metres is enchantingly surrounded by a forest of eucalyptus trees.
