Le Repaire is a small beachfront hotel overlooking the island of Praslin
Location
Nestled on Anse Réunion Beach on La Digue, Le Repaire Boutique Hotel sits just a short stroll from the main jetty, shops, and bicycle hire. You’ll be surrounded by lush tropical gardens with the ocean at your doorstep, perfect for waking up to sea breezes and walking barefoot on sand.
Rooms
With just 18 rooms, 7 Standard, 5 Superior Sea View, and 6 Superior Beachfront, every stay here feels personal and calm. The rooms are about 32 m², decorated in tranquil creams and greens, with local hardwood furniture. Guests love the Beachfront options, where the sand seems to spill onto your terrace, but even the Standard rooms offer comfort and charm.
Amenities
There are two small swimming pools, a beach bar, a restaurant serving Italian-inspired dishes with a Seychellois twist, and wonderful garden spots shaded by boie de rose and takamaka trees. Cooling cocktails at sunset and simple, thoughtful service make the place special.
Activities
Snorkelling, diving, kayak use (free inside the reef), and exploring the island by bike are all on the agenda. You can take excursions to nearby islets like Grand Soeur or Cousin, or simply pace yourself.
Sustainability
Le Repaire Boutique Hotel supports Seychelles’ environmental wellbeing in small but meaningful ways: it limits plastic use, sources fresh produce locally, and offers guests water refill stations.
