Hotell på våra resor - Reunion

If one place can make you fall in love with a country, the Blue Margouillat hotel is a unique resort that enchants with its charming creole style. A few seconds spent in this grand house will remind you of Baudelaire's words : «There all is order, naught amiss: Comfort and beauty, calm and bliss ». As you walk across the magnificent Corps de logis, the subtle and sweet fragrance of exotic wood colonial style furniture pervades the room.

Walk around under the verandah overlooking the Indian Ocean. The enchanting and exquisite scent of frangipani flowers carried by the mildness of the trade winds from the garden wafts through the air, while the hotel's clear blue swimming pool and blooming hisbiscus and alamanda flowers offer a colourful and delightful scenery.

Time stands still. Now close your eyes. Your new voyage is commencing. Blue sky, blue sea, Blue Margouillat.

This haven of peace combines contemporary elegance with the charm of its Creole heritage; it owes its name to the Akoya pearl, the famous Asian treasure that was so well known for its purity, its soft nacre colour and its perfect form.

The architectural choices that were made in the establishment of this 5 star hotel express its varied and eclectic influences, immersing its visitors in a world of exotic luxury and serenity.

Natural materials, minimalist spaces, ethereal fabrics, delicate colours, refined furniture and a luxurious setting combine to give it a unique, relaxing and warm atmosphere. Like a further destination within your voyage, the AKOYA Hotel & Spa invites its guests to discover the very essence of the island, all of its natural beauty and cultural diversity, in this sublime setting dedicated to comfort, well-being and relaxation.

A swimming pool with gentle curves which plunges down towards the ocean, a very friendly designer bar space , a succession of palm trees and exotic flowers, deckchairs and parasols for a nap in the shade, tropical gardens studded with endemic species and ponds… Every space has been designed to offer you a heavenly panorama and maximum comfort whilst at the same time respecting the site’s fantastic environment.

The Iloha is located on the west coast of Reunion Island, close to the village of Saint Leu, and just 300m from the beach.
Only 45 minutes away from Saint-Denis (Roland Garros Airport) and 30 minutes from Pierrefonds Airport in Saint-Pierre, the ILOHA Seaview Hotel is the ideal starting point to see all of Reunion’s key tourist attractions.
Classified as a UNESCO ‘World Heritage Site,’ the island’s ‘Cirques, Pitons and Ramparts’ are as easy to reach as the white sandy beaches in the west coast.

Visitors are charmed by this unique hotel in Reunion, assured of an experience combining nature, pleasure, wellbeing and authenticity.
In 2011, a huge expansion program got underway. 3 new buildings were constructed: an additional restaurant, a wellness area with 2 massage rooms (including one for couples) and, most notably, 16 extra bedrooms in the Guétali building, with a second swimming pool and a private lounge area.

Despite upgrading our premises and services, the Iloha has retained its air of authenticity, in the image of Reunion Island itself.
