L'Archipel
Praslin
L'Archipel is set in beautiful mature gardens, a natural amphitheatre cut into the granite rock of Praslin. The peaceful setting is provided by the secluded position, a gentle crescent of sand protected at both ends by rocky outcrops making this both a private and safe beach.
Winding paths take you through the tropical gardens and up and down the hillside to your deluxe room or suite, passing palms, hibiscus, frangipani and bougainvillea trees. The rooms are built on differing levels and from each balcony guests have panoramic views of the gardens, beach and ocean. Inside the rooms are spacious and elegant and have the following facilities: ceiling fan and air-conditioning, double bed, direct dial telephone, tea and coffee making facilities, minibar and television. All the rooms are en-suite.
There is plenty to do at L'Archipel. There is a fresh water swimming pool and free kayaking and windsurfing. Snorkelling equipment is provided and there is a free boat trip for snorkelling that leaves daily at 10am (weather permitting).
Finally, the food L'Archipel is excellent. A breakfast buffet is served near the beach. Dinner is a choice of Table D'Hôte menu or á la carte in 'La Feuille D'Or' serving a gourmet menu of locally caught fish and seafood and international dishes. Once a week a Creole Buffet is provide near the beach featuring local dishes.
