Hotel L'Archipel

Hotel L’Archipel is set in Anse Volbert Village at the end of Côte d’Or Bay on the north-east coast of Praslin, Seychelles. The property combines a peaceful tropical setting with an elegant, intimate character, and its buildings sit among landscaped gardens overlooking a private beach reserved for hotel guests.

Accommodation includes Superior Rooms, Deluxe Rooms, Senior Suites and Family Suites. The rooms are arranged in the colonial main building, on the hillside and within the gardens, with several offering ocean or garden outlooks. Senior Suites include a king-size bed, a seating area, walk-in wardrobe, and a bathroom with separate bathtub and shower. The range suits couples seeking a quiet retreat as well as families requiring more space.

Dining focuses on Creole and international cuisine across two restaurants. La Gigolette is positioned beside the beach, where meals are served with sea views and a natural coastal breeze. La Feuille d’Or occupies the first floor and provides a more enclosed dining setting. The poolside Bar Ton Francis serves light meals, tropical cocktails and refreshments during the day, with a setting suited to sunset drinks and evening nightcaps. A separate lobby bar adds another relaxed option.

The infinity pool provides a central place for time between the garden and beach, while the hotel also has a billiard room and souvenir shop. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available in the rooms and around the pool. Practical services include a 24-hour reception, safety deposit boxes, laundry, currency exchange, parking, car and bicycle hire, and a doctor-on-call arrangement. In-room massage and spa treatments, along with babysitting, can be requested.

Hotel L’Archipel suits travellers looking for a calm coastal base with polished surroundings, personalised service and a distinctly Creole sense of place. The private beach, poolside bar and two restaurant settings make the property suitable for relaxed beach holidays, romantic stays and family breaks. Access to Praslin is available by domestic flight from Mahé or by fast ferry, making the hotel a practical choice for an island stay centred on the Côte d’Or area.
