Choosing the right accommodation changes the rhythm of a holiday in Reunion Island. At Senteur Vanille, villas, lodges and studios each offer a different way to enjoy Saint-Gilles-les-Bains, the west coast and the tropical setting of the estate.
The villas: space for sharing the stay
The villas are ideal when the holiday is built around time together. Families and small groups appreciate the larger living areas, the independence and the possibility to organise meals at their own pace. They are well suited to travellers who like to cook, settle in and enjoy the accommodation as a real holiday home.
A villa also gives the stay more flexibility. Some guests can rest while others go out, children can keep their rhythm, and everyone has more room after a day at the beach or on the road. In a destination where days are often full of discoveries, that comfort matters.
The lodges: views, wood and a change of scenery
The lodges are made for travellers looking for atmosphere. They bring together wood, volume, a sense of height and an opening onto the landscape. The experience feels more unusual, while keeping the practical comfort needed for a relaxed stay.
They are a good choice for couples, friends or independent travellers who want to feel close to nature without giving up comfort. The lodge spirit suits slower mornings, quiet evenings and moments spent looking out over the surroundings.
The studios: simple, intimate and efficient
The studios are designed for couples or travellers who prefer a lighter organisation. They offer what is needed for a comfortable stay, without unnecessary space. This makes them particularly practical for guests who plan to spend much of the day exploring the island.
A studio can be the right choice when the priority is location, calm and independence. It allows you to stay within the Senteur Vanille environment while keeping the stay simple and easy to manage.
How to choose according to your travel style
There is no single best option. The right accommodation depends on the way you want to live your holiday. Before booking, it helps to think about the number of guests, the length of stay, the need for outdoor space and the balance between rest and exploration.
- Choose a villa if you travel as a family or want generous shared spaces.
- Choose a lodge if the view, the wood and the atmosphere are central to your experience.
- Choose a studio if you want an intimate, practical base for exploring Reunion Island.
- For longer stays, think about storage, cooking habits and the rhythm of each traveller.
A shared setting, different experiences
Whatever the category, the accommodations share the same estate spirit: tropical vegetation, calm, independence and access to the west coast. This common identity makes the choice easier, because each option remains connected to the same Senteur Vanille atmosphere.
The main difference is therefore not only the size of the accommodation. It is the way it supports your holiday: gathering everyone, enjoying a more scenic retreat, or keeping things simple and fluid.
