Press kit - FAM TRIP

Réunion, the intense island

From 02 to 06 February 2026 - An immersion orchestrated by VOYAZIL for professionals : signature landscapes, meetings with artisans, hotels with character and hands-on experience.

La Réunion — panoramas, volcan, côte sauvage

Lookouts high above the clouds, basalt coastline, volcanic reliefs - a destination that can be told as much as experienced.

An itinerary designed as a collection of rare moments

Here, it all begins with a sensation: the humid air from the East, dense with chlorophyll, then the light that widens over the heights, before settling in gold over the West as the sun sets.

This FAM Trip VOYAZIL x AIR AUSTRAL is not just a programme - it's a destination story, designed to show professionals how Réunion sells itself better when it's on the map feel : through its encounters, its addresses, its legendary routes, and this unique way of combining different worlds in a single day.

Cascade, végétation luxuriante, route vers Salazie

Arrival and welcome by Véronique (Voyazil) and Catherine, our English-French-German-speaking guide, and head east: Réunion starts with green. Visit Niagara Falls (Sainte-Suzanne) sets the tone: a wide fall, a pool, immediate freshness.

Visit Saint-André, The journey is a heritage one: Bois Rouge and the Savanna distillery, then the major cultural landmarks with the Tamil temple The Colossus and the temple Mariamen.

The road rises towards Salazie, and the Bridal Veil appears as a signature. Installation at Grand Ilet and night at the’ Le Sarana 4* Hotel : the ideal place to get your feet wet in the circus.

Tuesday 03 February - From the earth to the plate, then the Hauts in gentle transition

Return to the coast and meet at Saint-Benoît for the workshop «From field to plate» : a concrete interpretation of the terroir, where the destination is sold through proof - the gesture, the product, the taste.

In the afternoon, the National 3 turns the tables: stop the Plaine des Palmistes, then climb to the Plaine des Cafres, like a breath before the volcano.

Overnight at’Les Géraniums 3* Hotel : an efficient base, perfectly located for an early start.

Ambiance terroir, produits, marché, route des hauts

Wednesday 04 February - The volcano in private, the “mineral” and spectacular Réunion Island

Randonnée au volcan, cratère, paysages lunaires

7h15 appointment at gîte du Volcan with the guide Julien. Hiking private to the top of the crater, with picnic.

After the effort, it's time to take in the sights: belvedere of Bois Court, view on Great Basin, then toggle to Cilaos along the legendary route of 400 bends : a panorama around every curve, and the impression of crossing several islands in one day.

Overnight at’Hôtel Le Vieux Cep 3*, at the heart of the circus.

Thursday 05 February - The cirque of Cilaos, the elegance of the villages, and the West at sunset

At the foot of the Piton des Neiges (3070 m), Cilaos is best explored on foot: ancient thermal baths, chapel, narrow streets and viewpoints. The destination changes register with the Cilaos thermal baths, renowned for the richness of their water, followed by crafts: House of embroidery, Cilaos cellars... a Workshop Meeting of patience and detail.

Lunch and discovery of the village of l'Entre-Deux, one of the most beautiful villages in France, before a contrasting stop at the black sandy beach of L'Étang-Salé.

17h The emotional climax - sunset cruise followed by a cocktail at sea. The light falls, the group reunites and the island tells a different story : through rhythm, silence and the open sea.

Check-in and overnight at the’Akoya 5* Hotel : an address that extends the experience with comfort and the art of living.

Cilaos, côte basaltique, catamaran au sunset, ambiance Akoya

Friday 06 February - Maïdo, Saint-Paul and the art of ending on a holiday promise

Early start for the Piton Maïdo : large format panorama on Mafate, a circus accessible only on foot. A signature image that makes a lasting impression - and, on the distribution side gives instant appeal.

Then it's time for the living: Saint-Paul market, colourful and generous, fruit, crafts and fragrances.

Back to the coast : relaxing on the beaches of the west, water sports, lagoon light.

Then a diversion to the Barachois and rue de Paris in Saint-Denis : creole houses, elegant heritage, the final breath before departure.

Maïdo, marché de Saint-Paul, côte Ouest et plages

La Réunion en textures: when the experience is sold through the senses

A good destination guide doesn't stop at the sites: It shows the “stuff” of the trip. The markets, the woven baskets, the cool breaks, the tastings and those moments when the group comes together.

The distribution side of Réunion: what this FAM Trip (really) shows

• A multi-card destination“ : Tropical East, Highlands, volcanic mineral, villages, then the seaside West - with no logistical breaks thanks to fluid mobility.

• Concrete proof : workshops, meetings, tastings, markets - are all content that can easily be turned into sales pitches into sales pitches and storytelling.

• Strategically positioned nights : Le Sarana 4*, Les Géraniums 3*, Le Vieux Cep 3*, Akoya 5* - a hotel/positioning theme that speaks directly to end customers.

• A “signature moment” : the sunset cruise and cocktail at sea - the experience that turns intentions into reservations.
