Comfortable self-catering chalets on La Digue offering excellent value in a peaceful garden setting near the beach. Clean, well-maintained rooms with kitchenettes, free bicycles included, and helpful hosts who provide insider island tips.
Chalets d'Anse Reunion offers self-catering accommodation in a garden setting at Anse La Reunion on La Digue's western coast, within a short walk of the island's main ferry jetty and the waterfront village area with its restaurants, grocery stores, and bicycle hire operators. La Digue is one of the smallest inhabited islands in the Seychelles and is navigated almost entirely by bicycle; the property provides complimentary bicycles for all guests, a practical inclusion that removes one of the primary daily costs on the island.
The chalets are low-rise timber-frame structures with kitchenettes, ceiling fans, air conditioning, and small terraces facing the tropical garden. Interiors are clean and simply furnished — tiled floors, basic cooking equipment, refrigerator, and en-suite bathrooms with hot water. A communal BBQ area is available for guest use, and the garden is planted with palms and flowering shrubs that provide a quiet buffer between chalets and an environment suited to the pace of island life. Free WiFi is provided throughout.
There are no on-site dining facilities. Anse La Reunion's compact village — a few minutes' walk from the property — has family-run restaurants serving Creole fish dishes and a small supermarket for basic self-catering supplies. The ferry to Praslin departs from the jetty nearby several times daily with the crossing taking around 15 minutes.
Anse Source d'Argent — La Digue's famous beach of layered pink granite boulders and shallow turquoise water — is a 15-minute cycle ride through the working coconut plantation of L'Union Estate. The quieter Grand Anse and Petite Anse on the island's eastern shore are reachable in 20–25 minutes. Hosts share useful local knowledge about tide times, walking trails, and less-visited snorkelling sites. The property suits budget travellers and independent guests who want a functional, unpretentious base on a genuinely car-free island.

Tips for visiting
- Reach Anse Source d'Argent early in the morning before tour groups arrive from Praslin — conditions are better and the beach is significantly less crowded before 9am
- The eastern beaches (Grand Anse and Petite Anse) are wilder and less visited than Anse Source d'Argent; worth the 20-minute cycle for the contrast
- The small supermarket near the jetty has better prices on basics than the restaurants; stock up on breakfast items on arrival
- L'Union Estate charges a small entrance fee to access Anse Source d'Argent — bring cash as card machines are not always reliable
