Luxury hotel holiday L'Archipel Seychelles

With just thirty rooms and suites, L'Archipel is a small hotel offering highly personalised service in an atmosphere of relaxed sophistication. Gaining renown over the last few years as a charming, luxurious hideaway on the beautiful island of Praslin, L'Archipel nestles into the surrounding lush greenery and boasts fine attention to detail. With its green metal roofs, open-sided rooms and carved wooden balconies, L'Archipel was built very much in local Indian Ocean style. The main building and rooms are dotted amongst the tropical palms and flowers of the garden on a hillside overlooking the white sand beach of Anse Gouvernement, which is excellent for swimming and snorkelling. Its location and ample gardens at the end of a private drive ensure seclusion, though all the attractions of the wonderful island of Praslin are only a short distance away by car or cycle. Within easy reach are the beach of Anse Lazio, the local art galleries and the amazing Vallée de Mai, home to the coco de mer palm. Your accommodation is to be found on the slight hillside overlooking the gardens and the sea. Each room is spacious and has a sea-facing veranda where breakfast can be served. Some stretch over two floors. The style of decoration is traditional with bamboo and wicker furniture and colourful soft furnishings. L'Archipel offers a cosy but high-quality, traditional Seychellois ambience, amid beautiful natural surroundings. Please note that unfortunately its hillside location means that the hotel is not well suited for handicapped guests.
