Le Domaine de L’Orangeraie

Le Domaine de L’Orangeraie is an intimate and elegant four-star retreat combining rustic chic with contemporary style, making it perfect for couples. It is ideal for those seeking a relaxing resort in a romantic setting on the island of La Digue in the Seychelles.

Spend a couple of nights on the tiny picturesque island of La Digue, combined with one of the larger islands, such as Mahé or Praslin, to get a real feel of the Seychelles. The resort’s architectural style – plenty of warm wood, stone and thatch – reflects the natural beauty of La Digue, which is studded with large pink granite rocks. The zen-style décor, seamless service and comfortable open-air areas create a soothing home-away-from-home environment.

The resort is set in lush grounds, just steps from a beautiful white-sand beach and the offshore coral reef is superb for snorkelling. The stunning infinity pool overlooks the bay and the sleek sun deck is the perfect spot for admiring the sunset over the ocean and the mountains beyond.

The all day-dining area is home to two restaurants that offer Mediterranean and Creole dishes. Head to Le Combava on the roof terrace for a la carte dining with an emphasis on seafood, or enjoy the catch-of-the-day and watch the sunset over the ocean from the deck at Santosha, which also offers a buffet breakfast, live cooking station and international and Creole dishes. Sip drinks overlooking the lagoon in the elegant open-air lounge bar and enjoy cocktails and aperitifs at the casual pool bar.

The treehouse-style villas are tucked away in the tropical gardens and scattered up the hillside. Buggies are available to whisk you up to the hillside rooms and the higher up you go, the more impressive the views are. Garden Villas are set at the bottom of the hillside closer to the facilities. Villa de Charmes are set on the slope of the hill with an outside bathroom.
