[2025 La Digue Hotels] Travel Guide for Le Domaine de L Orangeraie Resort et Spa (Updated Oct)

From the instant we arrived, everything at Le Domaine de L’Orangeraie surpassed our expectations. The food was spot on every evening—beautifully crafted, full of taste, and always exceptional. The service was equally outstanding: attentive, warm, and truly impressive. We stayed in four villas, each a secluded retreat with stunning outdoor showers and tubs that seemed like something from a dream. Every detail was carefully thought out, and the comfort and ambiance made it difficult to ever want to leave. What stood out the most was the staff. They were genuinely caring, attentive, and always ensured we felt well looked after. Their dedication turned a great trip into an unforgettable one. This was more than just a stay—it was an incredible experience that we can’t stop talking about. If you’re visiting La Digue, Le Domaine de L’Orangeraie is simply perfect.

I’m sharing this review after our honeymoon in Seychelles (August 2025), spanning three weeks exploring Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue. The following notes reflect what I wish I had known ahead of booking. Le Domaine de L’Orangeraie Advice • Stay away from Anse Source D’Argent—it’s packed with visitors, making it challenging to enjoy its beauty amid the crowd. • Renting a bicycle to explore both coasts of the island is highly recommended. • Six nights felt excessive; four nights would have been ample, as most of the island can be covered in that period. Pros • Perfectly central location, just a short walk from the town, shops, bars, and eateries. • Positioned on a lovely beach offering fantastic snorkeling—we saw two stingrays, a manta ray, and an array of colorful fish. • The restaurant views are stunning—you can relish breakfast while observing fish in the clear sea. • The food quality is exceptional, providing a wide range for both meat lovers and vegetarians. The nightly themed dinners add excitement, with everything fresh. • Creole night entertainment is superb, featuring live music and traditional Creole dancing. • Thoughtful honeymoon extras: we enjoyed 10% off a 90-minute massage and a complimentary beach buffet dinner in a secluded gazebo. • Hotel offers bike rental (~€15 per day). • Gorgeous infinity pool complemented by attentive waiter service at both poolside and beach loungers. Cons • Our honeymoon package promised a free bottle of fizz and local treats. We requested these four times and were reassured by various staff members, yet they never arrived during our six-night stay. • Some of the pool towels had an unpleasant smell, seemingly due to being folded away while still damp.
