An island escape conjures up visions of endless untouched white sand, crystal-blue water and days that roll into one another as you soak up the sunshine. But Reunion Island will take those perceptions of island life and toss them out to sea — because along with the expected coconut tree-lined beaches that meet warm waters, it offers the perfect escape for adventure seekers and a melting pot of European, African and Asian cultures that have influenced all aspects of life there for the past 500 years.
Born of fire, the island was formed by and gets its sloping, hilly terrain from Piton de la Fournaise, a volcano from the depths of the Reunion hot spot in the Indian Ocean.
