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."

Holiday to Hotel L'Archipel
Excellent! The only suggestion is to improve the breakfast variety. The breakfast buffet was limited and it always looked like they needed to “re-stock” the buffet. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the service was good.
We chose Praslin and L'Archipel for a seven-night stay because we wanted somewhere relatively quiet and relaxing with rooms separated from one another. It did not disappoint. It was perfect for what we wanted. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a verandah looking out over the beautiful bay…
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.
