Côte d Or Of weather and seasons Cousine Cousin Grande Anse Praslin Vallée de Mai Baie Ste Anne Felicité La Digue Marianne Totally in line with its epithet Land of Perpetual Summer, Seychelles enjoys one of the most equitable climates on the planet. The year can be divided into two seasons : that of the north-west trade winds which blow from November through to March and which bring much of the islands life giving rains, and the south-east trades winds which blow from May to September, bringing with them cooler temperatures and more lively seas, perfect for sailing. The intervening months are normally periods of warmer weather and calm seas ideal for swimming, diving & snorkelling and cruising the ocean.

3 Hotel L Archipel s very own private beach is one of its most spectacular attributes and is for the exclusive use of its clients, affording them excellent opportunities for swimming, snorkelling and of course soaking up the sun in spectacular and comfortable surrounds. It is beautifully complemented by the hotel s magnificent gardens, beautifully manicured and featuring meandering pathways and a wide selection of flowers, shrubs and trees which, in their turn, provide a stunning backdrop for the boutique charm of 18 deluxe rooms, 5 superior rooms, 7 senior suites and 2 family suites.
