“Great for short stay.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2009

Spent two nights on half board basis, with meals taken at the La Digue Island Lodge (free shuttle).

Our chalet was perfectly clean, with large accomodation, nice outdoor "terrasse", beach chairs, etc.

With only four villas (two of them unoccupied), located in a park that is supposed to be closed from 5 pm to 9 am, quietness is guaranteed. And having the park, and access to famous anse source d'argent beach, for yourself is great. Meals at the Island Lodge were good (if you order wine and do not finish your bottle, the restaurant does not keep it for you: you are asked to take the bottle back to your room and then back to the restaurant for next meal. Strange and un convenient when your room is a chalet you reach with a shuttle...). Shuttle always responded to our move requests (within 15 minutes) and luggage delivery or check-in / out perfectly organized.

Anyhow people including both tourists and locals do come in the park when gate is closed as it is easy to walk along the beach (but safety / security not at stake). Furthermore, at low tide, it is impossible to swim or even soak in the ocean in front of the villa and beaches within walking distance have the same drawbacks (soaking possible at L'Anse Source d'Argent; otherwise: shuttle to La Digue Island Lodge to use pool). Quietness comes at a price: having to call for a shuttle to reach the Island Lodge (where meals are taken and from which bicycles can be rent for isntance). Sometimes we had to argue to get a shuttle when we had already made the "breakfast" rotation. With a location at the very end of the one and only road of the island, the chalets are not well located to explore the island. Finally, even if chaletsdeare not numerous they are close to each other so do not expect the top of intimacy.

That is why the chalets seem to me appropriate for people wanting to stay on their own (chalet have a large kitchen) instead of using the Island Lodge restaurant. Or for short stays only. As for us, after two days, we were tired of using the shuttle and started getting bored with the unswimmable beaches around us.

“Outstanding location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2008

We stayed in one of the four chalets at l'Union Estate. The accomodation is basic but we were not going there expecting luxurious accomodation nor extraordinary service. What makes this place outstanding is the location. It is right on a beautiful beach with a view of the granite rocks of Anse Source d'Argent and Praslin. During our stay, there was only one couple in another bungalow for a couple of days so we basically had the beach to ourselves. Views of sunsets over Praslin are spectacular. It is also a 10 minutes walk from anse Source D'Argent which you can really enjoy in the morning before the crowd comes. For meals, we were riding bicycles to the various restaurants in the island (headlamps for riding the bikes at night are a must).
We enjoyed the tranquility of Union Estateand we will definitely stay there again when we return to Seychelles.

“Amazing location!”

The only accomodation in the Union Estate park; just 4 chalets in the middle of the park, 10 mt from a beatiful beach, 5 min by bike from Anse Source d'Argent (you can go there also in the early morning when it's desert because the park gate is closed).
The interior of the chalet is not luxury, but spacious (4 people can stay comfortably).
It is a self catering accomodation, but there is the possibility of using the services and restaurant of La Digue resort; restaurant is not great, but nice to have when you are just arrived and / or tired and don't want to look for something else. The kitchen is not well fitted (just plates, glasses and cups, forks, knives, spoons, 1 frying pan and a small pot).
The check out was at 10:30am, but a very good add on service was that they gave us the possibility of using another room in the main resort till mid afternoon to have a shower and get changed.

“Amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2006

This was the third Island my family stayed at after Mahe and Praslin and it was outstanding. The four villas were situated in a reserve with the famous giant tortoises and very near the granite rocks beach line. The villas were simple but very comfortable and were basically on the white sandy beach, which was private for the villas. The sea was clear, shallow and thriving with sealife - (not really any coral), we saw turtles and stingray.
For breakfast, we would cycle to the hotel with hired bikes and for dinner we were picked up by the linked hotel driver and taken for superb creole meals. The pool at the hotel was big and had a pool bar. I would reccommend this villa for just about everyone! The location was out of this world!

  • Liked — The location
  • Tips/Secrets — The boat journey was extremely rough use a helicopter if possible! - Heli-pad nearby!!
