Separated from the outside world by a long tree-lined drive, L'Archipel, a member of 'Châteaux & Hôtels de Charme', offers sophisticated seclusion on gorgeous Praslin.
Visitors come here to get away from it all, to enjoy gourmet dining, attentive service and stunning views across Cote D'Or Bay. The ideal choice for couples
and honeymooners.
The hillside setting of L'Archipel Hotel is not suitable for those with walking difficulties.
Praslin's all major sites are within easy reach, if you can tear yourself away, and the Casino des Îles is only a 10mns walk.
The restaurants and the Cocktail Bar of l'Archipel Hotel are among the finest places in
the Seychelles. The chef adds his own personal touch, which he learnt from a famous French chef. Once a week, the Creole buffet is another memorable experience.
Two restaurants are awaiting you: La Feuille d'Or, in the main building, overlooks the sea and serves evening meals; Bon Mange, on the beach, provides breakfast buffet, à la carte lunch and dinner.
The
air-conditioned first-floor cocktail bar opens onto the pool terrace and there is also a Beach Bar (9am - 11pm). At sunset, the swimming pool becomes the meeting point: live music, dancing, candle-light dinners are organised 3 times a week (including the Creole evening). Gentlemen are requested to wear long trousers after 7pm.

Daytime
pursuits After a relaxing breakfast on your terrace or by the beach, the rest of the day stretches out before you. Do you spend it lying by the infinity pool, swimming in the tranquil waters of L'Archipel's private beach or enjoying a complimentary snorkelling trip to St Pierre Island? Alternatively work out in the gym, learn to scuba-dive or de-stress with a massage.
Free
activities include canoeing, windsurfing and snorkelling as well as the use of the Fitness centre. A watersports centre offers scuba diving and fishing (charge).
Different activities & excursions are organised by the hotel: A taxi boat will ferry you to Curieuse and Saint Pierre islands as well as to Anse Lazio or Anse Georgette beaches.
The boat 'Yam Sing'
will also be at your disposal to take you to neighbouring islands such as Cousin and Curieuse nature reserves, as well as to La Digue, Grande Soeur and Aride islands (sea crossing, drinks and a beach barbecue at an all inclusive price).
At the reception desk you can rent a car or a bicycle, or simply use the bus to discover Praslin at your own pace.
