| |  | | La Digue Island, one in the granito group, is lying east of Praslin (6.5 km), linked by ferry to Praslin and Mahe (the main island, 43 km) where 2,000 islanders, who remain their ways of living as unchanged with ox-carts and bicycles used for transport, are surviving in the west of the island. Its wide desert beaches are great for walking, swimming, snorkelling and fishing. This picturesque island is encircled by the coral reefs naturally harbouring it. La Digue is a place travellers see tourism meets live tradition, which rarely found as its wild unspoilt scenery and friendly laid back atmosphere offered, makes it a destination not-to-be-missed. | | HOTELS in La Digue Island | | |  | | |
