Château St Cloud

La Digue


Both eclectic and peaceful, this long-standing favourite has three room categories squeezed into its green confines. There's also a cavernous restaurant and a lovely little pool surrounded by towering palms. Pick of the bunch are the superior rooms, which are dotted on a forest-clad hillside, while the four deluxe rooms, set in a former colonial building, are super-spacious and marry modern and Creole design influences.

If you opt for a standard room, take an upstairs one (numbers 12 to 16) as these get more natural light.
