Patatran Hotel

La Digue


With day beds on the edge of Anse Patates and a pool set into oceanfront rocks, this quirky hotel offers a few great perks and a wide variety of ocean-view rooms. Standard rooms (cosy, kitsch and dated, but clean and comfy) sit just above the road, though there's no traffic noise to speak of, only the sound of crashing waves below.

Larger superior rooms sit higher up the slope and have balconies, as do the themed deluxe rooms. Half-board is an option for all rooms for an extra €30 per person per night.
