The property
The best base on La Digue
La Digue is the Seychelles at its slowest — there are almost no cars, and you get around by bicycle. L'Orangeraie is the most polished place to stay on the island, built up a hillside in timber and stone with a hilltop spa reached by a long stair. Anse Source d'Argent, the granite-boulder beach that appears on more posters than any other in the world, is a short ride away, and best visited at low tide early in the morning.
