Why Budget Doesn't Mean Basic
Réunion Island on a Budget from Mumbai
Réunion Island is a dramatic volcanic outpost of France in the Indian Ocean, just east of Madagascar and a short hop from Mauritius. Two-fifths of the island is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site — the 'Pitons, Cirques and Ramparts of Réunion' — home to the active Piton de la Fournaise volcano and three vast calderas (Cirques de Mafate, Salazie and Cilaos) laced with hiking trails, waterfalls and remote Creole hamlets. The west coast offers a different rhythm entirely: coral lagoons at L'Hermitage and Saint-Gilles, black-sand beaches, and a laid-back surf-and-sunset scene. Réunion's population blends French, Creole, Tamil, Malagasy, African and Chinese heritage — visible in its Hindu temples, Catholic churches, mosques and Chinese pagodas standing side by side. For Indian travellers, the island feels surprisingly familiar: Tamil temples dot the coastline, curry-based Creole cuisine echoes home cooking, and Bourbon vanilla and rum make for unforgettable souvenirs. With no mass-tourism crowds, Réunion remains one of the Indian Ocean's best-kept secrets for adventure travel.
