The climate of Saint Gilles les Bains (Réunion)
Saint Gilles les Bains lies in the west of Réunion and is the most important holiday destination in Réunion, mainly due to the 20 kilometer long lagoon on which the town is situated. This lagoon is known for its gold-coloured sandy beaches and the bright-blue sea. This is why the beaches of Saint Gilles les Bains are also very popular with the local population and therefore it is very busy here in the holidays and the weekends; one has to be here very early for a good spot on the beach.
The clear water in this lagoon lends itself excellently to scuba-diving and deep-sea diving. The climate in Saint Gilles les Bains is a tropical monsoon climate. Throughout the year, even during the rainy period, there are long periods of sunshine, so that people here also talk about the everlasting summer. The summer period here is from November up to and including April, most rain also falls in this period and hurricanes may occur.
