Le Relax Luxury Lodge on La Digue is a great example of clean lines and shapes, presented in an aesthetically-pleasing manner, surrounded by lush green vegetation. The rocky boulders that rise up out of the ground here and there are typical for the Seychelles, and build a nice decorative contrast to the various examples of wood on and inside the building. But it is not just the tropical flair of the location that makes it so unique; the close proximity to the ocean brings with it a fresh sea-breeze that soothes the mind and soul, allowing you to feed your senses and enjoy the best days of your year in a wonderful atmosphere. The view from here overlooks the shimmering turquoise water of the Indian Ocean, and extends over the islands of Soeur, Coco, Felicité, and Marianne in a wonderful panorama, allowing you to take all of the sights in at once!

Guests of the accommodation can benefit from their own terrace or the balcony, where you can sit back with a good book and a wonderful, refreshing drink. Or, take up your place by the communal pool, where the green-toned mosaic tiles invite you into the wonderful, refreshing water. There is also a jacuzzi that is shared amongst all guests of the lodge, located underneath the green leafy canopy, where you can sit back and relax in peace. And, don’t forget, the estate is located right next to a beautiful sandy beach where you can chill out under the takamaka trees or on the sand itself. In fact, the lodge offers a huge variety of different outdoor locations for you to enjoy, ensuring it does not become boring by any stretch of the imagination.

Moving inside, the six Deluxe Suites of the estate are each 42 square metres in size, and there are two units located in each lodge. The suites are tasteful, modern spaces, ideal for a relaxing and peaceful stay. Each of the luxurious living units, divided amongst three lodges, contains a wonderful bedroom with comfortable kingsize bed where you can get a good night’s sleep in this peaceful corner of the Seychelles. Freshen up in the morning in your own en suite bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower and spacious size.

Perhaps you’ll start your day off with an aromatic hot drink on your own terrace, or maybe you’ll head down to the ocean first thing, or even kick off your day with a refreshing breakfast. Here, you are always in charge of how your day will pan out, and you can certainly make up your perfect holiday day as you go along. In terms of catering, there is also lots of flexibility, allowing you to maintain the feeling of doing whatever you wish. The Relax Luxury Lodge offers its own restaurant, that is open almost all day-long, allowing you to enjoy a lunchtime snack, a delicious evening meal, or whenever it strikes your fancy. Here, you can also enjoy an atmospheric candlelit dinner, complete with its excellent array of dishes and its wonderful view of the ocean. Besides that, treat your taste buds to Indian/Creole cuisine in this exceptional atmosphere, and sip on some fantastic wine at the same time. Finally, you can also have the food brought to your own room if you wish.

Anse Severe and Anse Patates are well-known on La Digue for their good snorkelling conditions, and are easily accessible from the property. The reef contains multiple natural treats, including the (if you’re lucky!) eagle ray. Anse Gaulettes, the beach right in front of Le Relax Luxury Lodge, is convenient but due to its corals and strong currents, there are better beach options nearby. Anse Patates and Anse Severe are both located close to the estate, and offer stunning scenery. Besides the beautiful beaches, the island of La Digue is also home to the bird sanctuary Veuve Reserve, home of the Seychelles Paradise Flycatcher, and the national l’Union Estate park, complete with its historic settlers house, copra mill, and tortoise sanctuary, making it well worth a visit.
