Jacquanelle
About
On Réunion, Jacquanelle sits at La Nouvelle Mafate, Salazie 97433, high in the island's interior. Jacquanelle is known among travellers who make the climb into Mafate, one of the island's most isolated inhabited cirques, where access is on foot only.
First-time visitors should expect a mountain setting far from the coastal resorts, with the walking routes of the cirque on the doorstep. Guests have given Jacquanelle a 4.7/5 rating from 67 reviews, showing strong satisfaction among those who stay. The guest house draws people who want to explore the highlands rather than the beach.
Reaching Jacquanelle means walking in from the trailheads above Salazie or Cilaos, since no road enters Mafate. Guests travelling from Saint-Denis, Saint-Pierre or Saint-Gilles-les-Bains usually leave their vehicle behind and continue on foot.
Mafate's isolation makes the stay feel removed from the rest of Réunion, and the cooler highland air is a change from the coast. Humpback whales visit Réunion's waters between June and September, along with dolphins and sea turtles, which adds a coastal dimension to any island itinerary. The cirque's trails connect to Cilaos and Salazie, so the guest house suits those hiking between the island's mountain villages.
