La Digue Island

La Digue, the fourth-largest island in the Seychelles, is a beloved destination known for its stunning scenery and old-fashioned charm. It sits to the east of Praslin and offers a blend of traditional island life with modern tourism.

Home to just over 3,000 people, La Digue is a peaceful haven. Its name comes from a French ship that arrived in the Seychelles in 1768. Initially part of France and later under British rule, the island now thrives on fishing, farming, and tourism.

La Digue’s beauty is unmatched, with granite formations, sandy beaches, and swaying palm trees creating postcard-perfect views. The island’s beaches are ideal for swimming and snorkeling, but some spots have strong currents, so caution is advised.

Unlike bustling cities, La Digue has a relaxed vibe. There are no big towns, and getting around is easy with taxis, vans, or even traditional ox carts. Most places on the island are within walking distance, making it simple to explore.

From the towering peak of Nid d’Aigle to the flat plains in the northwest, La Digue offers a variety of landscapes to discover. Whether you’re relaxing on the beach or soaking up the local culture, La Digue promises a memorable tropical getaway for everyone.
