Discover La Digue

The bay, framed by huge pink granite boulders with its powder-white sand and turquoise water, regularly ranks among the most photographed beaches in the world and adorns countless travel catalogs and postcards.

Since private cars are heavily restricted on the island, traditional ox-drawn carts still serve today as a picturesque means of transport for luggage and tourists, giving La Digue an unmistakably unhurried charm.

The small, largely car-free island is best explored by bicycle, which can be rented at practically every corner of the main town of La Passe, allowing for leisurely exploration of remote coves.

Freely roaming Aldabra giant tortoises live in the L'Union Estate nature reserve, where they can be observed and fed up close, a rare experience amid old coconut palm plantations.
