Separated from the outside
world by a long tree-lined drive, L'Archipel is a secluded hotel
on gorgeous Praslin - Seychelles. Visitors come here to get away
from it all. a sort of a hideaway, to enjoy gourmet dining, attentive
service and stunning views across Cote d'Or Bay. The ideal choice
for couples and honeymooners. Praslin's major sites are well within
easy reach; if you can tear yourself away.
Mauritian Hospitality, with a Gallic Twist
- Famed for unobtrusive, yet attentive hospitality,
the staff of L'Archipel have honed their skills in both Mauritius
and the South of France - including the Chef who has trained in
a renowned French kitchen. His gourmet dishes include Creole favourites
and freshly caught seafood's; the red snapper and the chob are
particularly delicious.
Pre-dinner drinks are equally impressive. The barman is currently
taking part in a competition to discover Praslin's best cocktails
and his concoctions (innovations) are superb.
Daytime Pursuits - After a relaxing breakfast on your terrace,
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 ? - the decision is yours !.
Alternatively work out at the gym, learn to scuba-dive or de-stress
with a massage. Want to make folks back home green with envy ?

Cottage Suites - Surrounded by coconut palms, flowers and
cassurina trees, L'Archipel's colonial-style accommodation is in
quaint rooms, each named after a local island.
With
polished wooden ceilings, colonial style furniture and freshly
arranged flowers, the cool, calm interiors exude elegance. Central
to each suite is a raised
king-sized bed, swathed in mosquito netting
and surrounded by cool tiled floors. The large furnished verandah
has breathtaking views across the bay towards Curieuse Island.
Praslin
- Just one of the many fine, unspoiled beaches
L'Archipel, Praslin, is the typical Robinson Crusoe island, lush
in natural vegetation with stunning white powdery sandy beaches
against which the calm clear waters of the Indian Ocean lap-up
against during the course of the day. Sometimes words can not explain
sufficiently, the beauty of a place, one just has to be there.
This is one of those occasions.
Our
Opinion
This
is such a hideaway location, a Robinson Crusoe castaway Island,
but with luxurious surroundings, accommodation and with meals that
Robinson Crusoe could only have dreamt of,
ideal for couples, weddings, honeymoon, romantic getaway, or those
just wanting a relaxing beach holiday and to be at one with nature.
