On the west coast of Réunion, where the lagoon is outlined between the filaos and the sunsets that stick to the skin, Saint-Gilles-les-Bains vibrates like a call to idleness. It’s the perfect place for a beach break, a romantic weekend in Saint-Gilles or a relaxing break just a stone’s throw from the lagoon. And there’s no need to break the bank.
Good news: at Exsel Hôtels, we’ve found the perfect compromise. Two addresses in Saint-Gilles-les-Bains, two atmospheres, and the same promise: affordable comfort in the heart of Réunion Island.

Hotel Ermitage: cosy, charming and close to the lagoon
Under the filaos trees, close to Hermitage beach, the Exsel Ermitage hotel cultivates a discreet, eco-friendly and resolutely local art of living. It’s a hotel close to the Hermitage that favours plants, peace and quiet and good local produce. If you’re feeling peckish, head to Le Calypso bar for a snack and a delicious cocktail. And if you want to discover the authentic cuisine of Réunion Island, why not try a meal at the restaurant La Marmite Saint-Gilles, which offers an all-you-can-eat buffet of typical carris cooked in wood-fired kettles.
Here you can enjoy:
- Local accommodation on Réunion Island,

And all this is what we call a budget hotel in Saint-Gilles-les-Bains, without compromising on pleasure.
