The city of Saint-Gilles-les-Bains has many assets from the marina to its gastronomy: From the marina you can embark on an outing at sea to admire the sunset, the dolphins all year round and the humpback whales from May to October. And while you are at it, why not go deep-sea fishing to bring back banana tuna, dolphinfish or even marlin for your barbecue at the villa! We recommend getting a taste for the gastronomy at LouLou’s and try the samoussas and chili sweets and to enhance your aperitifs have a a ti punch. On Sundays, there are markets in l’Hermitage and Grand Fond or on Saturdays there is a market in St Paul about a 10 mn trip by car. Boost your mood by discovering the joyful Creole flavors by tasting local exotic fruits such as papayas, tamarinds, carambolas, passion fruits, coconuts or more traditionally letchis, mangos and bananas to delight your taste buds. Or have a traditional creole dish of curry, rougail or fresh fish.

After your day, enjoy the very popular nightlife of Saint Gilles with tourists and locals alike at the bars, restaurants and nightclubs that take over the beachfront. Children won’t have time to get bored either by visiting the water park, aquarium, and diving or snorkeling in the coral reefs…
And let’s not forget the surroundings of Saint-Gilles with the turtles’ spot of Kélonia, or the botanical garden of Eden!

To stay in Saint-Gilles-les-Bains, you will have the choice between classic hotels, colonial style bungalows, charming houses or large villas with swimming pools. Be careful, as in high season, the roads to go down to the beach by car are often crowded. The best way to avoid traffic jams is to opt for one of our oceanfront vacation rentals!
