The Seychelles’ Sister Islands

The islands of Grande Soeur and Petite Soeur are often referred to as the Sister Islands and are situated in the northeast of La Digue and in close proximity to the Cocos and Félicité islands.

The Grande Soeur, a privately owned island has all what it takes to be your perfect hideaway and destination. A short boat ride from Praslin will take you to the most beautiful and deserted white sandy beach with panoramic ocean views; a wonderful relaxation and photo spot during the North West Monsoon; however it can be dangerous as it is quite exposed from May to October. Grande Soeur is a popular spot for an authentic and mouth-watering barbeque on the beach and which can be combined with snorkeling or diving in the clear crystalline waters of Cocos Island or other neighboring snorkeling or diving sites.

Hiking is also an especially rewarding way of exploring the beautiful landscape and enjoying the beautiful views which surrounds the island.
