When hunger hits, there is a small dining room here that serves up some pretty good fare, and the small bar is great for socializing in the afternoons and evenings. Although the Seychelles can be an expensive travel destination, La Digue accommodation choices like the Calou Guest House can help minimize the overall price.

On the north coast of La Digue Island, the Patatran Village Hotel offers up good rooms at a nice price, but you might opt to save a bit extra at the well-priced L'Ocean Hotel.

The staff at this nice choice for La Digue hotels can help you plan an array of excursions, with scuba diving and snorkeling among the most popular. Should you prefer to stay in a bungalow, then spending a bit extra at the nearby Patatran Village Hotel is worth it.
