Downloadable Réunion SIM card with prepaid data
An eSIM is an embedded SIM card, and you probably already have an eSIM-compatible device. When you install an eSIM for a country or region, it lets your device connect to local networks in that area. This means your device will have data without needing Wi-Fi or paying roaming charges.
Réunion is a scenic island located on the Indian Ocean famous for its active volcanoes, lush landscapes, beautiful mountains and sandy beaches.
When travelling to Réunion, you’ll want to stay in touch and share your experiences with your loved ones back home.
This is where a Réunion eSIM can help. An eSIM connects your device with a local network so you can stay online even when there isn’t Wi-Fi.
The amount of data you may need depends on what you want to do and where you want to go in Réunion. When you leave your hotel and need directions or want to browse online or video chat with your friends, you’ll need data.
A Réunion eSIM is a great option to get access to affordable and reliable mobile data. You can start with a small data plan and upgrade as needed.
We also have a travel data calculator to help you estimate how much data you’ll need for your trip.
Absolutely not. A Réunion eSIM connects your device to a local network in Réunion. With a Réunion eSIM, you get access to prepaid data while traveling anywhere on this tropical island.
To avoid roaming charges on your primary SIM, please make sure you’ve turned off Data Roaming on your primary SIM (and confirmed you aren’t enrolled in a carrier travel plan) to prevent your home carrier from adding roaming charges to your next bill.
Réunion is home to an incredible diversity of landscapes, a melting pot of cultures, and stunning beaches. So much is waiting for you on this tropical island.
Le Piton de La Fournaise: One of the most active volcanos in the world that can be visited by helicopter or microlight planes, but the best way to discover this volcano is the hard way, by hiking.
Voile de la Mariée: This waterfall is famous for the optical illusion it creates. There are several channels falling form this waterfall that end up in a natural pool surrounded by tropical plants.
Ermitage Beach: This is the longest beach on the island. Nearly 2Km of white sand to lay down your towel and enjoy the warm sunshine.
Reunion’s unique flavors come from centuries of French, Chinese and Indian influences. It’s not uncommon to find a variety of flavors in a single dish.
Cari: This dish is a mix of vegetables, meat, or fish served in a curry sauce. Cari is typically served with rice, beans or lentils. This is a substantial dish, so save it for when you have a serious appetite.
Rougail: The most popular dish of Reunion that includes dried or smoked fish cooked in a sauce made of chopped onions and tomatoes.
Achard: This is a brightly colored mixture of vegetables that can be served with a main dish or as a garnish on a sandwich.
The climate of Reunion varies greatly depending on the area you’re visiting and the time of year.
April to June: A good time to visit because it’s the end of summer and the cyclone season is over. The weather is pleasantly hot and great for relaxing under the sun or visiting the cities of Sainte-Rose and Saint-Benoît.
July to November: For active travellers, July to November is the best travel season. While seaside visitors and families prefer the travel season from mid-September to the end of November.
December to March: This is the island’s rainy season and a popular time to visit with the Christmas and Easter holiday celebrations.
Réunion has a tropical climate, but depending on your activities and travel plans, you want to make sure you come prepared.
Windbreaker: It’s a must if you plan on going hiking or exploring the mountain region.
Sunglasses & Sun Hat: Since Réunion experiences hot and humid weather, your sun protection accessories are a must.
Refillable Water Bottle: Having a refillable water bottle will help to keep you hydrated during your trip to Réunion.
