By Boat Travel by boat to Domaine de L'Orangeraie
3 nights Domaine de L'Orangeraie, La Digue, Seychelles

Le Domaine’s 63 villas are located a few steps away from famous Anse Severe beach on La Dique Island. Le Domaine is the only true luxury hotel on La Dique. It is located near the main village La Passe, which means you can go out and enjoy island life and are not confined to the hotel premises. As the island is quite small, excursions to one of the many beautiful beaches around the islands are an enjoyable experience.

The Combava restaurant offers a la carte service, the Santosha restaurant buffet style. Several bars, including one at the infinity pool, await you with a range of drinks and home-made specialties.

Location
After the main island and the neighbouring island Praslin, La Digue is one of the larger Seychelles islands covering roughly 10km². It is located about 50km from Mahe and 7km from Praslin, with regular ferry connections between the islands. The Cat Roses ferry from Praslin takes about 30 minutes and the Cat Cocos ferries either go direct to La Digue in 60 minutes or via Praslin in 1h30. From the jetty it is a short 5min ride to the lodge. As an alternative to the often bumpy boat rides we suggest a heli flip from Mahe directly to La Digue's L'Union heli pad which is only 15 minutes from the lodge.

On La Digue times passes in slow island speed. Most visitors and locals alike use the bicycle to travel around the island - or even an ox wagon. Within an hour's walk, you can reach any point on the island - the lack of traffic adds to the relaxed and calm atmosphere.

There are beaches all around the island, with Anse de Source d’Argent probably being the best known and one of the most photographed beaches in the world. Most of the approximately 2000 Diguois live in the village of La Passe on the west coast of the island. The south and the east of the island are largely uninhabited and the beaches very secluded and wild with Grande Anse, Petite Anse and the delightful Anse Cocos certainly worth exploring.
