Old World Charm

Discovering the old world charm amongst the lush coconut plantation in La Digue island

Discover the quiet coastal estate located in the western coast of the La Digue island in Seychelles. This area is brimming with tourist and visitors and a throng of beach chalets each as exquisite as the other and offers almost a paradise perfect.

The L'union estate is found between the La passé and Anse Source D'Argen and is a charming stretch along the coast possessing some great beach chalets within its area. The estate was formerly a coconut plantation for which the island is famous for and today the estate operates as a sort of an unofficial theme park displaying the glory and graces of the bygone era.

The estate transports you back in time to the days when coconut farming was thriving on the island with its original copra mill and kiln where a visitor can see the extraction of coconut from copra which is the dried part of the coconut flesh. Within the estate, the Old Plantation houses stands in a majestic trance with its huge granite boulders marking its contours while meticulous maintained landscapes offer a soothing contrast.

Discover the traces of ancestry in the colonial era graveyard where the first community that inhabited La digue was buried. If a visitor is seeking colourful lively visuals, set out to observe the giant tortoise within the obligatory pen. Stroll through the vanilla plantation or visit the boat yard where you can get a glimpse of the local boat building industry. What surpasses all these venues is perhaps the rapturous delight of coming upon the spectacular beach which is supposed to be the one of the most beautiful beaches in the world at Anse Source d' Argent.

Add to this magnificent backdrop the genial warmth of the Raffles hospitality and you have a combination that is impossible to resist. This fascinating Seychelles Resort is a cluster of villas where you can immerse in the utmost of luxury while glancing over the spectacular scenery of the beach outside. The Raffles Praslin Seychelles enhances the sheer beauty of this island which is supposed to be the rediscovered Garden of Eden with its prime comforts, the soothing therapies at its spa, the tantalizing flavours of meditaranian cooking as well as the taste of fine beverages to be enjoyed from cozy lounges overlooking the ocean. This is one Seychelles Hotel that raises this fabulous island experience to the level of rapture to make memories for a life time.
