Introducing Boucan Canot
Some say Boucan Canot (the final ‘t’ is pronounced), dubbed the Réunionnais St-Tropez, is très branché (very hip) and fashionable. We think it’s parvenu and pretentious. But hey, after (or before) roughing it in the Cirques, a whiff of pose and glitz doesn’t do any harm. Whatever your verdict, bring your designer sunglasses in this attitude-fuelled little resort town.

The obvious focus here is the beach. It’s been listed as one of Réunion’s best, and once you get a glimpse of the gentle curve of the bright white sand, lined with palms and casuarina trees and framed with basalt rocks and cliffs, you’ll see why. It gets packed on weekends. Caveat: currents can be strong.
