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.
