MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACHES IN THE SEYCHELLES
Hotel L’Archipel sits in a natural sanctuary of mature, tropical gardens leading out to one of the most beautiful beaches in the Seychelles.
In the northeast of Praslin Island, at the end of the famous Côte d’Or Bay, this family-run boutique hotel is perfect for those seeking a truly laidback stay. Connected by winding paths lined with bougainvillea and hibiscus, the spacious rooms and suites are housed in two-storey buildings near the beach and up on the hillside. Each opens onto a balcony and sparkling ocean vistas.
AN ARRAY OF REFRESHMENTS TO ENJOY
The hotel itself has a colonial feel with its whitewashed walls and polished wood panelling. The restaurants are housed in the main building and have large windows framing the ocean. Meals centre around freshly caught seafood and mouth-watering creole cuisine, with an emphasis on local, seasonal produce. Meanwhile, the Bar Ton Francis offers an array of refreshments to enjoy in between dips in the pool.
Days can be blissfully spent discovering Praslin and the surrounding islands. A selection of non-motorised water sports are available, including fishing and sailing, and you can hire a bicycle to explore the rest of the island.
