Villa Veuve

La Digue


Down a dirt road on the southern outskirts of La Passe and scattered around a flower-filled property are these 18 semi-detached bungalows. Built for function rather than style, each is well equipped and has a small verandah. Bungalows 11 and 12 feel more private.

The restaurant serves buffet-style dinners, so it’s worth considering half-board.
