Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island

My wife and I just returned from our trip to the Waldorf for our anniversary. I'll split the review into two portions: Pre-arrival to the hotel: Before departing for our trip we were approaching the date of our flight and we had not heard from the hotel. I had reached out 3 separate times to attempt and coordinate the flight to Platte island and inquire about diving. Generally other hotels we had stayed at had been more proactive and reach out closer to the booking date rather than the departure/cancellation dates. We had waivered a few times about cancelling our stay at the property. Arrival in the Seychelles As disorganized as the pre-arrival was giving less than 5-stars would be disservice to what we experienced once we landed in Mahe and on the island. Top to bottom from the villa, food, and staff were all above and beyond. There was daily actives (free & paid) to keep guests entertained. They have also just got a new dive company on the island and Liz was fantastic to go diving with. A few folks that stood out to us during our time on the island: Caleb & Tobi - These guys will have you laughing the entire time and keep you busy with activities on and off the water. "I love it" Chef Sebastian - Did a wonderful job with all of the food and we really enjoyed getting to know him. Each morning our conversations with him were some of our favorites. Adul- An absolute mad scientist of a bar tender. He is a joy to talk with and makes drinks I've never seen or tasted in any of my travels. Svetlana- Our concierge for the week who organized surprises (we took them all home) and kept us in the loop with things on the island. She took care of us the entire time. After our stay our flight home was cancelled and we had no idea where to go. It was late at night and there were no arriving flights, so all of the taxis were gone. Lana had organized a hotel and taxi for us within 10 minutes. There were so many others I could continue writing about, but thankful for the memories we were able to take home with us.

From the moment we arrived at the Waldorf Astoria Seychelles, every detail exceeded our expectations. Viktoria, our hostess, welcomed us with exceptional warmth and professionalism, making us feel at home from the very first moment. Her attention was constant yet discreet, always ensuring everything was perfect. Each day we enjoyed exquisite dishes, prepared with fresh ingredients and presented with the kind of finesse that reflects the hotel’s outstanding quality. A truly unforgettable culinary experience. And the spa… simply sublime. Without a doubt, the most pleasurable experience of all. A haven of peace, with treatments that blend traditional and modern techniques, all in perfect harmony with nature. A place that invites you to return. Thank you for an unforgettable stay.

The service here was impeccable. We felt like the staff was our family by the end of the trip. They took such a thoughtful approach to customer service. Each guest gets a personal concierge that is there for you every step of the way. Also, the food and accommodations were both excellent.

It was great experience! Everything was high level service! You feel calm and relaxed there! The personalisation in every touch. Specially I would like to say thank you to Stefania, our guest relations manager! Just bravo for everything you do!

Wow, wow, wow! This place is incredible. The campus is beautiful, and the Waldorf team is incredible. Lana gave us a wonderful tour and arranged for us to get a beautiful villa. My waitress at La Perle was Zariah. She was very helpful and very sweet. The meal was fantastic. This is going to be an incredible week.
