Picturesque, charming and relaxing, La Digue is the most photographed island in the Seychelles.
White sandy beaches are strewn with pink granite rock formations, turquoise seas filled with coral and fish, and quaint island roads traversed by ox carts and bicycles.
Laid-back La Digue is a rustic retreat 30mns by ferry from
Praslin. Here, the pace of life is slow, so it's impossible not to relax. The resort's tropical gardens, spacious pool and gorgeous beach will help, even dining is a relaxed affair with Creole buffets in Le Pκcheur restaurant.
Visits to the Copper Factory and plantations at nearby L'Union Estate are recommended, as are trips to the photogenic Source D'Argent beach.
Beside
the shallow waters of sand-fringed Anse Reunion, the island's main hotel, La Digue Island Lodge, has 60 rooms and provides a simple but comfortable and relatively lively La Digue base - from which you can easily reach by hired bicycle the superb beaches and remote corners of this beautiful 4 square mile island.

colonial-style Yellow House or single-storey terraced rooms, A-frame or thatched roundavel rooms, garden or beachfront Chalets - and beachfront Junior Suites.

'A' frame Chalets
The palm leave roofed wooden chalets offer spacious accommodation inside on two levels. Most of them are just a few steps away from the beach. They are ideal for a family of up to four, and
children climb up the ladders to their own special beds on the upper level.
