Imagine it’s just the two of you. Barefoot on soft coral sand, a salty breeze playing with your hair, and the turquoise ocean whispering your vows back to you. Now open your eyes… You’re in La Digue. And yes, it’s even better than the dream.
Why La Digue Is the Dream Wedding Destination
Let’s start with a confession: La Digue is not for everyone. If your ideal wedding involves limos, skyscrapers, and clockwork schedules—look away. But if you’re craving an island where bicycles rule the roads, palm trees outnumber people, and time doesn’t just slow down—it stops to smile—then you, my dear, are in the right place.
La Digue, one of Seychelles’ most magical islands, is the ultimate canvas for couples dreaming of an intimate, tropical, and undeniably photogenic wedding.
Best Beaches for a Wedding Ceremony on La Digue
🌴 Anse Source d’Argent – The Showstopper
This is the Beyoncé of beaches. Consistently ranked among the most photographed in the world, Anse Source d’Argent offers weathered granite boulders, dreamy turquoise shallows, and golden-hour lighting that feels like it’s been filtered by angels.
📸 Photographer tip: Sunset here? Unreal. Go for a ceremony at golden hour and steal away for portraits among the rocks while the light does its magic.
🌊 Grand Anse – For the Wild-at-Heart
If Source d’Argent is the diva, Grand Anse is the poet. Untamed, dramatic, and spacious—ideal for couples who want raw natural beauty and a bit more privacy. Waves here are bold, like your love.
🌺 Anse Severe – Sweet, Quiet, Romantic
Perfect for small ceremonies with close family or an elopement with just the two of you. Think swaying palms, quiet tides, and sunset views that will haunt you (in the best way).

When’s the Best Time to Get Married on La Digue?
The island is gorgeous year-round, but April to October is the sweet spot: warm, breezy, and less humid. May and September are particular favorites among couples for their balance of dry weather and lush scenery.

There are almost no cars on La Digue. Bikes rule the island—and yes, that’s exactly as romantic as it sounds. Pedaling in wedding attire? Optional. But it is adorable.
