Overview
Blue Margouillat is a five-star boutique hotel and restaurant located in Saint-Leu, on the west coast of Réunion Island, a French overseas department in the south-western Indian Ocean. It is one of only five five-star hotel establishments on the island. The property is a spacious Creole-style house set in a tropical garden, offering twelve 25 m² sea-view bedrooms — one of which is wheelchair accessible — and two 130 m² suites arranged on either side of a heated swimming pool. The hotel is a member of the Relais & Châteaux collection, a global association of independently owned luxury hotels and gourmet restaurants. The hotel's restaurant, named "L'éveil des sens," is a fine-dining venue that blends traditional French cuisine with the spices and local products of Réunion Island. The kitchen is led by co-owner and chef Marc Chappot, who settled on the island and trained in gourmet establishments in Switzerland and Haute-Savoie. The front-of-house is led by co-owner and host Frédéric Kuhry, an Alsatian hotelier's son who emphasises service, hospitality, accuracy and discretion. Together they operate the property as co-owners under the Relais & Châteaux banner. Beyond accommodation and dining, Blue Margouillat offers a range of comfort and wellness services. These include a heated pool at 29°C, a wine cellar and cheese cellar with a tasting area, a contemporary art gallery featuring Réunionnais artists, a library, a boutique, valet parking, concierge and laundry services, and complimentary Wi-Fi. The wellness programme offers à la carte in-room massages by a certified masseur, including a signature massage called "The Blue Margouillat," as well as organic wellness products such as bath salts, shower gels, shampoos, moisturising creams and massage oils. The hotel also holds a European Ecolabel commitment and describes a sustainable charter called "Nout Péï." The property markets itself on calm, serenity and discretion, with panoramic sea views, whale-watching during the austral winter, and romantic candlelit dinners around the pool or on a long verandah overlooking the ocean. It also serves as an official distributor for Zalto glassware on Réunion Island. Its address is impasse Jean-Albany in Saint-Leu.
