Exsel Victoria Hotel***: lotel bordmer.

In Grand-Bois, in the south of Reunion Island, the Exsel Victoria hotel overlooks the Indian Ocean. The 31 rooms, delicately set on a sheer cliff, offer a magical immersion in an unspoilt environment.

Just 10 minutes from the center of Saint-Pierre and at the gateway to Réunion’s wild south, the hotel is the ideal place to reconnect with your loved ones, with nature and with yourself. Relax in our swimming pool overlooking the Indian Ocean, a change of scenery guaranteed.

As part of Exsel Nature’s eco-responsible program, the Exsel Victoria has been awarded the Clé Verte label.

A little history

According to certain writings, Grands Bois appears to have been one of the first occupied settlements in the south of the island. It is therefore said that the first inhabitants settled here as early as the beginning of the 18th century, even though concessions were granted in the “Rivière d’Abord” district.

Nevertheless, this occupation remained relatively confidential until the
construction of the sugar factory. The neighborhood only developed once the sugar industry was up and running around 1833-1834.

At first, the need for labor brought in mainly slaves, then in 1848, indentured laborers (Indians, Rodriguans, Madagascans and Comorians) began to populate the neighborhood. For more than a century, the neighborhood grew up around and for its sugar factory… which provided the rhythm of life for an entire population until its closure in 1991.
