Besides a private beach on the east coast of Praslin Island, Hotel L'Archipel is a charming boutique hotel with views over the sparkling Cote d'Or bay. Here at this secluded, family-owned hotel, you'll receive a real Seychellois welcome - friendly and informal. It's perfectly located for discovering all that Praslin has to offer, including the Vallée de Mai National Park and the gorgeous Anse Lazio beach, as well as visits to the laid-back neighboring island of La Digue.
Most rooms have fabulous views over the bay and are scattered around a natural hillside amphitheater, amidst swaying palms and delightful gardens of hibiscus and frangipani trees; not surprisingly, the higher up the hillside you are, the more spectacular these views. This is particularly true in the late afternoon and makes the idyllic setting for taking in the fabulous sunset. The hotel welcomes families although there are no specific kids' facilities. The activity center can assist with water sports as well as arrange a variety of excursions. Hotel L'Archipel is also an ideal choice as part of a Seychelles island-hopping holiday.
Cottage-style rooms dotted around lovely tropical gardens
Secluded sandy beach with great snorkeling and kayaking
Ideal for excursions around Praslin or to other islands

INSIDER TIP
"Although the snorkeling is great straight from the beach, head over to the rocks to the right of the hotel where you'll usually discover more marine life."

Honeymoon to Hotel L'Archipel
We loved the boutique feel of the hotel and it was instantly very relaxing. In our opinion, our room had the best view of them all. We could lie in bed and see the gorgeous bay right in front of us. Out of all the resorts we walked past, I would say L'Archipel is in the best spot of all, right at t…
Another gorgeous view from our room. Great service. The food was so good - we enjoyed all our meals at the hotel. We loved all the excursions booked through Masons, as well, and it was easy to book them and get to/from the hotel.
The villas and the location were superb. The food was excellent. The beach, though small, was lovely and fairly free of people (besides us). The snorkeling was good, and we loved the rays, birds, and fruit bats. And we liked the Mason excursions that were available from here, and the two we took we…
It was a nice secluded hotel and quiet as we requested but glad we were only there for 5 nights. Ideal for R&R. The beach was lovely as were the hotel grounds whch were kept in pristine condition. The facilities could do with a little attention. The jetty on the beach is wasted space could defi…
