La Maison du Coco, located within the Domaine de la Pointe des Châteaux, is Europe's only producer of virgin coconut oil. Spanning over 7 hectares, the farm is set in the heart of a lush coconut plantation and tropical orchard. Visitors can explore the many uses of the "Tree of Life" through an engaging three-stage workshop: discover the history and uses of coconut on Réunion Island, participate in culinary activities like coconut-based cooking and making local sweets, and try your hand at the traditional art of palm weaving. The experience includes tastings of fresh coconut, virgin oil, coconut water, and artisanal sorbet, followed by a coconut-themed lunch. The estate is open Tuesday to Sunday, with workshops and lunch available by reservation.

Super great experience with an amazing guide Brunela! Very energetic and fun experience. The only disadvantage - there is no workshops in English 🥲

Its basicqlly a botanique garden with the main focus on the coconut. Beautiful environment. With the lots of shadow under the trees quite refreshing experience in a hot day. At the bar u can try coconut themed local dishes, which were excellent. The coconutwater was however pretty overpriced. There are also guided tours about how coconut is processed, unfortunately english tours are not availabe every day.

What an amazing experience we had! YOU NEED TO BUY TICKETS ONLINE. We passed 2 hours with Jimmy F. explaining us how to open a coconut, how to grate it, how to make oil-milk-flour-sugar from it and its leaves. All the story around this juicy fruit was incredibly interesting and the tasting experience in the process was keeping our attention high. The location was like a little paradise, very well organised and the staff was very gentle and friendly. There are toilets and open sinks where you can go and refresh yourself. There is a small restaurant. Interesting during that day there was a birthday party and a baptism party, so nice to be able to celebrate in such idyllic place! There are 2 boutiques too, unfortunately they were closed when we finished the tour. There is also a botanical garden, some animals to see with your kids. Parking available and free of charge.

This was a hidden little gem of a spot. My favourite spot was the section of the garden where we could smell all the plants. I had never seen a cinnamon tree or a clove tree or an all spice tree. I was in heaven smelling these plants. Such a unique experience! We had coconut ice cream and these deep friend coconut balls that were super tasty. The gift shop had a lot of adorable coconut souvenirs and sweets. Well worth going to just to see the flora. We missed the workshop sadly as there was only one on that day but apparently it would have been great to see. The birds were cute. The roosters kept having to tell us that they were roosters the whole time we were there. There were quite a few chickens and peacocks a couple of pheasants and finches.
