Le Repaire boutique hotel is set on one of La Digue’s west coast beaches close to the island’s main village and so within easy walking distance of the jetty, shops, bank, and bicycle hire. There are only 18 rooms, each offering guests a high level of comfort and modern amenities. Breakfast, lunch and dinner can be taken at the restaurant which specialises in Italian food. To relax guests can make use of the two small swimming pools, lounge on the beach or read in the shady gardens. For the more adventurous, kayaks are provided free of charge, and other activities can be arranged such as diving, snorkelling, fishing, guided hiking, and bicycle hire. Local excursions to nearby islands including Isle Aux Coco, Grand Soeur, Curieurse, Aride or Cousin can also be arranged by hotel staff.
