Why Visit La Digue?
La Digue offers a slower and more intimate side of Seychelles, where bicycles, palm-lined roads, granite landscapes and traditional island life shape the travel experience.
The island's most recognisable attraction is Anse Source d’Argent, known for its white sand, shallow turquoise water and enormous granite formations. Nearby L’Union Estate adds a cultural and historical dimension, while beaches such as Grand Anse, Petite Anse and Anse Cocos allow visitors to experience different sides of La Digue's coastline.
Nature is another important part of the island. The Veuve Special Reserve protects habitat for the rare Seychelles Black Paradise Flycatcher and other endemic species. The reserve covers 21 hectares and forms part of a larger plateau on western La Digue.
For many visitors, La Digue's appeal is not simply its individual attractions. It is the experience of moving slowly between them, stopping at beaches, cycling through village areas and discovering the island without trying to rush through every sight.
