La Digue is an iconic Seychelles yacht stop with Anse Source d’Argent, granite boulders, beaches and relaxed island charm.
La Digue is included as a preliminary Superyacht Guide destination because it has strategic, charter, cultural, expedition, resort, passage-making or regional cruising relevance. Some of these destinations are established luxury cruising areas, while others are best treated as specialist route or shore-extension destinations requiring careful local support.
For owners and guests, La Digue can form part of a wider itinerary involving beaches, reefs, wildlife, culture, historic cities, marinas, remote anchorages, diving, safari extensions, ocean passages or Red Sea and Indian Ocean cruising. Its current Destination Star rating is deliberately capped pending full editorial assessment.
