Beachcomber

An unpretentious haven of resort life in the slow lane, La Digue Island Lodge’s setting is one of unsurpassed tranquility and beauty. The lodge is the largest on the island and has been built from local woods and thatch. One of its landmarks is the ‘Yellow House’, a traditional home of colonial style architecture built in the early 1900’s (it is now a National Heritage monument).

La Digue is one of the most photographed islands in the world. The wild, deserted beaches with a backdrop of huge granite rocks are safe for swimming, snorkelling and fishing and offer some of the most amazing scenery. This, the fourth largest island of the Seychelles, retains all of the charm and tranquility visitors travel half way around the world to enjoy.

Accommodation

Accommodation includes beach & garden chalets, beach rondavels and suites. There are various room types including Plantation House, ‘Petit Village’ and A-frame chalets (a total of 69 rooms). Rooms have air conditioning, minibar, telephone, television, tea and coffee making facilities, bath and shower (rondavels have shower only) and hair dryer. The typical chalets are built out of takamaka wood and thatched with Latanier leaves and some have direct access to the beach.

Sports, Services & Facilities

The thatched roof restaurant on the beach is popular with guests who enjoy a relaxed atmosphere - here you don’t even have to bother wearing shoes to dinner! The island’s only dive shop is also here, next to the pool and beach. The lodge is just a short walk from Anse Source D’Argent, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Access to La Digue is by ferry or boat from Mahe or Praslin. Guests will enjoy the slow pace from the moment they arrive with transfers from the jetty to the hotel taken in ox-carts!

La Digue Lodge is a fully-fledged hotel with many amenities and carefully set in the lush vegetation of a tropical garden. Its rooms are decorated with much charm and elegance. The hotel boasts a spacious and inviting swimming pool with bar and restaurant. The complex also houses a dive center. The main restaurant offers a ‘feet in the sand’ relaxing atmosphere and is well renowned for its delicious local cuisine. There is also a large supermarket and a pizzeria located in the vicinity.
