How many days should I spend on La Digue, and how should I split time between La Digue, Praslin and Mahé?

TL;DR

La Digue can easily merit more than a short stop: one successful first-trip itinerary used 14 nights on La Digue, 3 days on Mahé, and a separate day trip to Praslin. There is no single ideal split, though many visitors divide their holiday roughly evenly among all three islands.

What the community said

For a 17-day first trip, consider 14 nights on La Digue and 3 days on Mahé. Praslin can be visited as a day trip from La Digue, returning the same day.

14 days ago 14 nights on La Digue + 3 days on Mahé

If the final part of the trip is based on Praslin, La Digue can work as a separate day visit from Praslin, leaving the final 3 days for Mahé.

La Digue does not have to be only a brief stop: repeat visitors have spent more than a month there in total and still consider it worth returning to.
