La Digue, a name whispered with a sense of wonder, is a place where turquoise waters lap against pristine shores. This is the third most populated island in the Seychelles, with a charming community of around 2,800 people. Most of them live in the villages of La Passe, on the west coast, linked by ferry to Praslin and Mahé, and Anse Réunion. La Digue is a haven for those seeking a slower pace, a place where bicycles are the primary mode of transportation, and the rumble of ox-carts adds to the island’s unique charm. The island’s beauty is etched into its very name, which originates from the French explorer, Marc-Joseph Marion du Fresne, who named it after his ship in 1768. With no airport on the island, the journey here is often described as part of the adventure, requiring a ferry from Praslin or Mahé, adding to La Digue’s mystique. You have to travel by ferry to get here, making it a place that almost feels untouched by the outside world.
