Vanilla Islands

Vanilla Islands (French: Les Îles Vanille) is an affiliation of the islands of Seychelles, Madagascar, Réunion (France), Mauritius, Comoros and Mayotte (France) in the Indian Ocean formed as a joint travel destination brand. Founded on 4 August 2010 in La Réunion, the aim of the co-operation is to pool resources and market the region as a combined tourism destination, rather than market each island individually as was done previously.[1]

Official communications also refer to the Vanilla Islands Association (Vanilla Islands Organisation) as the regional cooperation body behind the initiative. In a 2026 statement, Tourism Seychelles said the association was established in October 2013, described it as a joint platform promoting the region internationally, and stated that it was then headed by Pascal Viroleau of La Réunion.[2]
