Aelia Duty Free
About
Found on Réunion, Aelia Duty Free occupies 74 Av. Roland Garros in Sainte-Marie 97438. The location sits in the north of the island, close to Saint-Denis and within reach of Saint-Paul, Saint-Gilles-les-Bains and Sainte-Marie itself. A 1.8/5 rating from 16 reviews marks a mixed reception among those who pass through.
Travellers heading between the main resorts and towns can reach the address by road, since Réunion has no railway and coastal roads carry most journeys. The shop deals in gift items, the sort of purchase made on the way to or from a flight. Réunion's airport sits in the north, and a coastal road runs much of the way round the island.
The island's interior is mountainous, with the Piton des Neiges rising above 3,000 metres, so the northern coastal strip feels quite different from the highlands. Réunion's population descends from African, Indian, European and Chinese settlers, and the island marks the abolition of slavery each December. Réunionnais cooking blends Creole, French, Indian and Chinese influences, and curries are served over rice.
A stop at Aelia Duty Free fits naturally into a journey through the north of Réunion, whether arriving from Saint-Pierre or Le Tampon. The tropical climate brings a cooler dry season from May to November and a wetter summer from December to April. Its 1.8/5 rating from 16 reviews suggests opinions divide sharply among visitors.
