L’Archipel is a small boutique hotel situated in the north-east region of Praslin which is the second largest island in the Seychelles archipelago. The hotel is surrounded by tropical gardens and overlooks Anse Gouvernement which is a small but very picturesque beach. Either side of the beach is littered with granite rocks which fall into the turquoise Indian Ocean which is typical of the Seychelles.

L’Archipel only has 30 rooms which will make your stay private and intimate. You can use L’Archipel as a stepping stone to explore the other smaller neighbouring islands such as La Digue or Curieuse

• Only 30 rooms and suites
• Stunning beach with granitic rocks
• Easy access to La Digue and other smaller islands
