Best Hotels in La Digue

For many, the very image of the Seychelles is La Digue. This small island moves at the unhurried pace of its iconic ox-carts, with bicycles as the main mode of transport. The main draw is Anse Source d'Argent, a beach of sculpted granite boulders and shallow turquoise waters that is one of the most photographed coastlines on Earth. Beyond that famous shore, trails lead through the Veuve Nature Reserve to spot the rare Seychelles black paradise flycatcher, or to the wilder eastern beaches like Grand Anse.

The island is ideal for couples and relaxed travelers seeking a true escape; it's less suited for big nightlife or business travel. Most visitors stay around the main villages of La Passe or La Réunion, where the ferry from Praslin arrives. Getting around is wonderfully simple—you can rent a bicycle for your entire stay and easily reach almost every corner of the island, with the occasional taxi or ox-cart for longer hauls.

Accommodation on La Digue ranges from charming, family-run guesthouses to a handful of upscale resorts. On HOTEVI, you can find options like the casual, Creole-style Le Relax Beach Resort right on the seafront, or the more intimate and secluded Château St. Cloud set within a lush garden estate. The overall feel is one of understated, authentic island charm rather than overwhelming luxury.
