GETTING THERE
From Southeast Asia, the easiest route is via nearby Mauritius, home to the largest airport in this corner of the Indian Ocean. The (), flies twice-weekly between its home base and Kuala Lumpur using a state-of-the-art Airbus A330-200 with 18 full-flat business-class seats and 236 economy-class seats with good legroom. The airline’s Réunion service—a 50-minute hop in an ATR turboprop—operates multiple times a day. Once on the ground, rental cars are easy enough to arrange, but for a chauffeur-driven experience, you won’t do better than Jérôme Dijoux ().
