Recommended Travel Adaptor for Réunion
We’ve reviewed and tested a wide range of adaptors ourselves. Safety, charging speed and durability were all compared. This is the one we trust and recommend.
Abroad with no adaptor? You’ll find some for sale at airports and in town. Just bear in mind they’re often overpriced and not the best quality.
Réunion is frequently combined with island-hopping trips to Mauritius and Madagascar. Plug setups can vary slightly, so it’s smart to check.
Sockets in Réunion
The plug types you’ll find in Réunion are Type C and E plugs and sockets.
Type C
Type C sockets have two round pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they take a slimmer plug without an earth pin or fuse.
Type E
Type E sockets have two round pins and a hole for the socket’s earth pin. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type E sockets.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
In Réunion there’s no call for a converter, as the voltage is near enough to the UK standard.
Always check the voltage label before plugging in abroad; if it reads ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, your device will usually work without a converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Travelling can be unpredictable, but these little items give you peace of mind. A luggage scale means no nasty shocks at the airport desk, a power bank saves you when plugs are nowhere to be found, and packing cubes stop your things from getting muddled. We’ve used them on plenty of trips and can vouch for them.
