The Seychelles is an unspoilt
tropical paradise thousands of miles from anywhere. Here you will find
magnificent palm-fringed beaches, superb snorkelling and diving, and
plenty of forested wilderness filled with wildlife.
La Digue is situated a short
distance from Praslin, but is unreachable by plane, instead a short boat
ride from Praslin to La Digue is required, lasting only 20 minutes or
so.
La Digue is the fourth largest and
third most populated of the islands within the Seychelles, with over
2,000 inhabitants. Several hotels exist on the island, providing
comfortable accommodation, the most popular being La Digue Island Lodge.
In addition there are several guesthouses offering simpler
accommodation. It is also possible to visit the island on a day trip
from Praslin.
Suited to middle to upmarket
nature-lovers seeking total relaxation and an away-from-it-all holiday. A
haven for romantically inclined couples, a popular honeymoon
destination.
Locality:
La Digue is off the east coast of
Africa, in the Indian Ocean. (it is 660 mls NE of Madagascar and 995 mls
E of Kenya. Nearest international airport is on the neighbouring island
of Mahe, 27 mls). La Digue is the fourth largest of the Seychelles
group.
La Digue is surrounded by
beautiful white sand beaches, spectacular coves where one can find
deserted beaches with no other tourists beside yourself. The simple
beauty and charm has made the island into a favourite for film producers
and photographers.
For the more adventurous, who don’t
want to spend the whole holiday on the beach, climb to the top of the
mountain at the heart of the island, it offers a wonderful view of the
island. At the ends of the roads, the follower is left with just a
footpath to follow.
There are some small tourist shops
and a couple of art galleries along the main road from the jetty. A few
other shops at the jetty offer groceries and other convenience items. La
Digue Island Lodge has 2 boutiques well stocked with souvenirs and
other necessities.
This is not the place for nightlife,
some hotels provide evening entertainment. The local community hall
holds dances/discos at weekends, but these are mostly for locals.
