Blue Margouillat is situated in Saint-Leu, on the southwestern coast of Réunion. The hotel occupies a grande maison créole, a traditional creole colonial house, with views across the ocean. The surrounding tropical garden features frangipani, hibiscus, and alamanda flowers, while the property's seaside position offers the possibility of observing whales during the austral winter season.
The creole architecture is designed for personalized, intimate hospitality. Terraces throughout the property capture ocean views, and the use of exotic woods in furnishings reflects Réunion's colonial heritage.
The hotel offers three room categories, each with private terraces overlooking the ocean. Chambre Grand Large comprises 10 rooms over 35 square metres, situated in the main creole house, with spacious terraces and lounge areas. Suite Créole (accommodating 2 adults and 2 children under 12, or 3 adults) and Suite Romantique (2 adults maximum) are villa-style accommodations at 130 m² and 110 m² respectively, each featuring separate living areas and private spa facilities.
Guest amenities include complimentary fresh fruit platters, Valrhona chocolate, Taittinger champagne on arrival, free Wi-Fi, and private airport transfers. All accommodations feature climate control, soundproofing, and natural artisanal wellness products in the bathroom.
Restaurant L'éveil des sens, led by Chef Marc Chappot, presents gastronomic cuisine that blends local spices—curcuma, cotomili, cannelle, and gingembre—with carefully selected regional and international products. Evening service is presented by candlelight with jazz accompaniment, typically served poolside or on the varangue.
Breakfast is served daily, featuring tropical fruits, local jams (letchi, papaye, goyavier, tamarin), and fresh juices. A light lunch menu is available from 13h to 17h around the pool or in guest rooms. For stays of three nights or more, half-board options are available, with menus planned according to daily market availability.
The hotel maintains a wine cellar containing over 1,050 references of wines, champagnes, and spirits, curated by Sommelière Vanessa Bonadio. An adjacent cheese cellar and tasting area complete the dining facilities.
Private spa experiences are offered in the suites, featuring a spa de nage heated to 35°C and combining swimming with jacuzzi features. Each villa spa is fully private and enclosed within the tropical garden, with an outdoor shower in vegetation. Massage services are available directly in guest rooms using natural wellness products.
A heated pool at 29°C overlooks the tropical garden and ocean. Additional facilities include a library, contemporary art gallery featuring works by contemporary artists, boutique, free Wi-Fi, luggage and valet services, concierge, laundry, safe deposit boxes, and diving equipment rental.
The intimate scale and private spa suites appeal particularly to couples seeking a quiet retreat. The gastronomic restaurant and wine program attract guests interested in fine dining. Adult-only suite options provide an additional layer of privacy for romantic stays and special occasions.
