La Digue Holiday Villa

I and my wife wanted to spend our first anniversary in La Digue and decided to book La Digue Holiday Villa. It might seem a little pricey at first but it was totally worth it. As soon as we checked in, Kit (the owner/ owner's son) helped us with the highlights on the island. He even gave his number to reach out to him in case we needed anything. This property is well planned with beautiful landscaping. We were really happy with the details within the property, for instance, water cooler, beach towels, coffee maker, locker etc. What we found most outstanding is the presence of 2 showers in the bathroom (you might find this funny but you'll find it useful after a day of scorching heat). The villa is huge, it has separate settings for Coffee, Dining, and relaxing. Almost everything is made of wood and looks beautiful. You can rent bicycles from the reception, and they make sure that you're comfortable riding it as it's the only way to travel on the island (so you might want some cushion under your Coco de Mer). The check out time in Villa is strictly 10:30 AM. We wish that we could check out a little late as our ferry was at 2:15 PM but Kit was kind enough to take care of our luggage at the reception. The island itself isn't big so everything is accessible. Overall it was a great stay.

We had the most relaxing stay at La Digue Holiday Villa. The location is not directly on the beach but rather 100 meters inland. A very quiet location. Once you enter, you are truly overwhelmed. It must be the most beautiful landscaped garden on all of the island. Set in the garden are a koi pond, a very clean pool with plenty of lounges around it, a breakfast and dining pavillion and three double-cottages with huge verandas. So in all, a maximum of 12 guests, very intimate. The cottages are very tastefully appointed and well equipped. Also very roomy and with an exceptionally quiet air condtioning. The service is very attentive and super friendly. They pick you up with your luggage at the port and return. They have rental bikes. We repeatedly had dinner there and found the thai influenced food to be excellent. We also had a great massage.

It's a small small resort centrally located in the town. Restaurants and shops are close. The three houses are located in a very bautiful garden. Our apartment was big and very clean. Also the pool is big enough and clean. The staff is very friendly. If you don't like to stay in a hotel or big resort, the La Digue Holiday Villa is a very good alternative. Thanks to all of the staff, that we'd such a beautiful stay :-)
