Discover a hidden paradise where luxury and nature exist in perfect harmony. The Secret Garden Villa offers a unique stay immersed in the lush jungle, where your accommodation blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Experience the magic of La Digue while embracing an authentic and eco-friendly retreat.
From the moment you arrive, you'll be surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. Stroll through lush gardens, past a serene pond, and arrive at a terrace with spectacular views of the sister islands and Felicity. Along the way, pick fresh tropical fruits and cross a charming bridge over a habitat of gentle giant tortoises. Follow the hidden trail, and you’ll reach a scenic hilltop, offering a panoramic view of La Passe and Praslin—an unforgettable reward for your journey.
Accommodations: Where Comfort Meets Nature
The Secret Garden Villa offers a collection of handcrafted wooden rooms, blending traditional craftsmanship with eco-conscious living. Accommodations are spread between the main building—home to the restaurant—and a nearby guesthouse, giving you a choice of four unique room styles.
Designed with nature in mind, all rooms feature open-air designs, private bathrooms, and handcrafted wooden furnishings. There are no glass windows or air conditioning—just the natural island breeze and the soothing sounds of the jungle. Wake up to the breathtaking sight of the sunrise from your private veranda, a daily reminder of the paradise you’re in.
Captain’s Black Pearl
The most luxurious of all, this top-floor suite in the main building offers an expansive veranda with uninterrupted panoramic views. With four beds, an en-suite bathroom, and a small kitchenette, this is the perfect space for those seeking both comfort and adventure.
Aladdin
Built around a massive granite boulder, this room creates a true sense of being one with nature. Located in a separate guesthouse near the main villa, Aladdin features a spacious veranda and an extra level of privacy—ideal for a serene getaway.
Sinbad the Sailor
Perched on the first floor of a boat-shaped house, this charming room makes you feel like you’re floating above the island. Its welcoming interior and open balcony provide the perfect spot to take in the breathtaking island views.
Activities & Experiences
Make the most of your stay with exclusive access to The Secret Garden Villa’s private hiking trail, winding through untouched jungle landscapes and offering stunning lookout points over La Digue.
Looking for more adventure? La Digue’s beaches, cycling routes, and island excursions are just a stone’s throw away, waiting to be explored.

Excellent planning service
We’ve had a wonderful experience planning our Africa safari with Safari.com. Lana Goodwin has been incredibly patient and supportive throughout the process—answering our many questions, offering honest advice, and helping us craft the ideal itinerary for our family. We really appreciated Safari.com’s wide network of accommodation providers, which gave us the flexibility to “mix and match” based on our preferences and budget. Looking forward to our trip and grateful for the thoughtful planning behind it!

Thank you Lana Goodwin and Safari.com
Lana has been super helpful in addressing all our needs in timely manner. Due to her efforts, be believe we are going to have a great trip. Safari.com needs to get better exchange rate as well as lower the credit card payment fees. We were charged in excess of 3% plus bit higher exchange rate.
