Hotel L'Archipel, Praslin, Seychelles, Indian Ocean
Hotel L'Archipel, the Seychelles
Idyllic, charming and boutique all apply to this beautiful property on the north-eastern coast of Praslin. If you are looking for an intimate, genuine Seychellois welcome, which is a world away from the larger resorts, then Hotel L’Archipel is just perfect. It’s also perfectly located for those of you planning a little island-hopping! Hidden away, this glorious hotel is tucked into a natural amphitheatre of gently swaying coconut palms and all rooms and suites take full advantage of the sublime view with expansive verandas; comfortably furnished for lazy afternoons and warm, tropical nights.
Highlights
Sleep
There are just 32 rooms and suites, all prettily finished in an elegant Creole style and scattered across the hillside and reached by winding pathways through the fragrant hibiscus and frangipani trees. The larger Executive Suites and Senior Suites boast a separate living area and are ideal for romantic couples.

Why Choose Turquoise?
Family Owned & Run
We are one of the few remaining family owned and run operators of our size. We have direct relationships with every single destination, island, resort and hotel we work with, in order to deliver exceptional and truly personalised service.
Our Passion Runs Deep
We are - and always have been - mad about travel. For almost 25 years we've been scouring the globe for the best places to stay, the newest routes to take, the perfect people to meet. No-one will care more about your holiday.
Definition of Luxury
Luxury means something different to everyone. Whether you are seeking the silence of vast spaces, the isolation of a private island, the buzz of a new city, the adrenaline of a safari or anything in between, we listen, we learn, we advise.
Fun & Refreshing
We endeavour that every Turquoise experience is unique, fun and refreshing. Travel is all about experiences, about serendipitous moments and endless smiles. It is a joy and an honour to plan each and every Turquoise holiday.
