Become a partner of Sous Les Étoiles 974
Are you an accommodation provider, activity operator, private driver, gear brand or creator based on the island? The site features local partners within a clear editorial framework. Careful presentation, a qualified audience, transparent terms.
Editorial visibility, not an ad slot
This is nothing like a standard banner ad. You get a carefully written listing, woven into the site and linked from key pages: the opposite of an isolated ad space nobody looks at.
Targeted editorial visibility
A dedicated listing built into the site, in the category that matches the activity or accommodation. Not an ad banner lost in a sidebar, but carefully written content linked from key pages.
A qualified audience
Readers are planning a trip to Reunion Island. Mostly organic traffic, strong booking intent, few casual browsers just looking for inspiration. 100 readers ready to book beat 10,000 curious visitors.
Genuinely local roots
The site is edited locally, from Reunion Island. Not an outsourced platform reselling visibility blindly, but an editor who knows the names, the roads, the seasons and the local network.
Deep internal linking
Every partner listing is linked from the relevant themed articles (car rental, accommodation, hiking, activities). No isolated listing that nobody finds: it lives within the site's link structure.
A transparent framework
The terms are written down. No opaque contracts, no rates that change on a whim. One page, one format, one pricing grid, and the freedom to revise or pause the partnership at any time.
No blurring of ads and editorial
Editorial recommendations remain independent. Being a partner gets you a dedicated listing, not access to the rest of the site. That boundary protects the credibility of the feature, which serves your long-term interest as much as readers'.
“A partnership gets you a well-written listing, well placed within the site's link structure. Nothing more, nothing less.”
Six types of business open to partnership
The logic is simple: the activity or service has to bring value to a reader planning a trip to Reunion Island or Mauritius. Within that scope, the range stays wide.
Accommodation providers
Gîtes, guesthouses, hotels, lodges, eco-lodges, unique stays, private campsites or guided wild camping.
Activity operators
Outdoor (canyoning, paragliding, guided hikes, diving, kayaking, helicopter), culture, food, sport and wellness.
Transfers and mobility
Private chauffeur services, Roland-Garros airport taxis, car rental, campervan rental, scooters or electric vehicles.
Outdoor gear brands
Camping gear, rooftop tents, hiking equipment rental, technical clothing, road-trip accessories.
Food and local produce
Signature restaurants, table d'hôte (home-cooked set meals), rum distilleries, vanilla plantations, local producers open to visitors.
Media and creators
Travel blogs, Reunion Island-focused YouTube channels, photographers and videographers based on the island, complementary editorial projects.

Suggest a productPartnership, not editorial control
Being a partner gets you a dedicated listing. Not a say over the rest of the site, not a promise to always write positively. If I notice the service has slipped, I say so on the listing in question, partner or not.
That boundary serves everyone. It protects the site's credibility, which is exactly what makes it worth being featured on. A recommendation only means something because it isn't handed out to whoever pays.

One email, a reply within 48 working hours
Introduce your business or activity in a few lines, attach 2-3 photos if you have them, and mention what brought you to the site. You'll always get an honest reply, whether it's a yes or a no.

Four steps, two to three weeks on average
From first contact to going live, the timeline mostly depends on how quickly materials are ready (photos, descriptions, prices). For a standard accommodation or activity listing, expect two to three weeks on average.
First contact
A short email introducing the activity or business, the area of the island, links to your existing site and public reviews if available. No need for a sales brochure, a direct message is enough.
Scoping the details
The listing format, what you need to provide (photos, descriptions, prices, time slots), where it fits on the site, and the pricing grid that applies. Everything is agreed before signing off.
Writing and sign-off
The listing is written in the site's editorial voice, sent for review, then adjusted with the partner. Nothing gets published that the other side hasn't seen, and the final version is approved by both.
Publishing and follow-up
The listing goes live, gets linked internally, and is mentioned on relevant landing pages. Updates (prices, time slots, photos) are tracked throughout the year, with a heads-up to the partner whenever something needs updating.
