    The Must-go-to place on La Digue. Even the bicycle trip to the farm is interesting. And the beach, of course.

    Great place with plenty of palm trees, vanilla plantation, tortoises, the Giant Union Rock and access to the Anse Source d'Argent. Entry fee is 150 SCR per person.

    Home to the famous and picturesque Anse Source d'Argent Beach. It is essential to cross L’Union Estate in order to reach Anse Source d'Argent Beach There were quite a few surprises to see in L’Union Estate itself, such as the beautiful palm trees, vanilla plantation, a Pirate ship wreck (*the guy at the workshop near the ship, told us about the origin of name La Digue’ after a French vessel), choir mill, tortoise pen, souvenir shop and a restaurant at the start of Anse Source d'Argent Beach. It was quite relaxing to explore L’Union Estate on our bicycles, and there were signs all around to explain the different sections of the estate.

    Lovely place to rest and look at some local art/handicraft. Very nice lady explaining you what's on offer and happy to sell you a piece or two. Beautiful house and wonderful garden.

    The farm is just visually good near the entrance side however is development in progress as you go towards the far end. The far end has a lot of vegetable and fruit cultivations, however there is still a lot of land that has not been developed yet. The farm has entry fee of $8 per head. Also, it's the gateway to get to the world's most photographed beach in Anse Source D'argent. You get a distant view of the beach from here as well. It will be ridiculous to skip the place because of the entrance fee, then it questions the need to come all the way to La Digue as well.

    Very beautiful farm. It has a tortoise pen and the most beautiful beach. Suggest you go to the beach at around 11 am, when there are low rides, carry your snorkeling material. Very safe beach and best for snorkeling, we saw too many beautiful fishes.

    Beautiful to walk through. A bunch of palm trees, vanilla plantation, other vegetation too and tortoises (even though I don't like the small space they are beeinf kept)

    Sorry to say, but this place is just a way to collect entrance fee for accessing Anse Source d'Argent beach. Turtles, Union Rock, vanilla plantation are okeish. But option to take a shortcut via beach immediately after the gate still saves time and energy :-(

  • 5/5 Sonali A. 4 months ago on Google
    Must visit place in La Digue to see Anse Source D’Argent, tortoise farm, vanilla plantation etc. We also bought authentic vanilla essence and vanilla tea here and saw other farm animals like rabbits and bulls. There are also washrooms both near entrance and near the beach which is great

    Is this place real?!!! Best beach in the world. Worth the 150SCR entry

  • 1/5 Flo 1. 9 months ago on Google
    I‘m shocked that this horrible farm got 4,3 stars. Probably because many people don’t realize that the farm and the beach are different points on google maps. They force you to pay 10€ per person when you want to go inside the park. We booked a kayak tour which is located in the park so we had no other choice. With this money they’re funding the agony of hundreds of animals. The factory farming in the park makes me so sad and angry. This should be a crime! They treat those animals in such a bad way and why are there even animals at all? When you want to see what I‘m exactly talking about than watch the videos attached to this comment.

  • 5/5 Suresh S (. 7 months ago on Google
    A place never to be missed when visiting La Digue island in Seychelles. Has many interesting things to see like the Giant tortoise pen or the coconut mill. But the best part is the Anse source d’Argent beach which is the best place for snorkelling.

  • 4/5 Ruby Peng (. 3 months ago on Google New
    Easy to navigate with clear signs. Wish there are some turtles that are out free roaming

  • 4/5 carolyn f. 7 months ago on Google
    Not taxing to potter around the estate on your bike. Do pop to see Plantation house, and there is a shop/art gallery below with good local flower oils at a reasonable price. All this on the way back from the most beautiful beaches of Anse D'Argeant. Tortoises too and the odd scheduled event.

  • 5/5 Maheshwari 8 months ago on Google
    Entry fees is 150 pp for entire day. Entry till 6 pm Can spend entire day inside the farm, there are 2 restaurants inside. You can opt for crystal kayak, see the coconut oil making factory, vanilla plantations, hear birds chirping. Beautiful location, must visit. Do carry a bottle of water along with.

    Fantastic beach. Hire a bicycle as it's the best way to see La Digue

  • 5/5 Peter B. 1 year ago on Google
    Well worth a visit. RS150 each entry fee. Cycle around or walk. Not too busy. Had v interesting chat with manager, he explained about coconut harvesting including historic methods. Scenic beach at the South end.

  • 5/5 denitsa d. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place on earth. Definitely will come back.Beautiful beaches, gardens and bars for a drink or lunch. The tax to enter is 7 dollars for the whole day, you can visit the turtles, see all the plantation or go for a walk to the beach where is some bars with the most delicious fresh juices and cocktails.

    Awesome place. Joel only elevated the experience. Gave us the best info and tour possible. The beach close by is beautiful but we actually preferred the farm. All thanks to our luck of running into Joel. Great experience! 👍🏻

👍👍 One of the best beaches I have visited. Don't waste your time on Grand Anse or Petite Anse - it's worth 35-40 minutes walk through the forest and the rocks. Unbelievable scenes, majestic waves and at the far point of the beach there is a natural pool with no waves and suitable for snorkeling... Must...

👍👍 This beach is a dream. I recommend you to take a bath on the beach immediately after, that is glorious and protected from the waves. If visiting by yourself be sure you carry the trail path in your phone with an app like Alltrails (what we used) or Komoot. You need to have some decent fitness to re...
