Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island

Amazing Stay at Waldorf Astoria! I had an incredible experience at the Waldorf Astoria. From the moment I arrived, everything was simply perfect. The service was outstanding, and the attention to detail made my stay truly special. A special thank you to Donia, our personal concierge, who was super kind and always available to help with anything we needed. Her professionalism and warm hospitality made a huge difference in our stay. The resort itself is stunning, with breathtaking views and a relaxing atmosphere. I can’t wait to come back! Highly recommended.

Platte Island is the most satisfactory island in my trip, there are beautiful beaches,Wonderful activities, delicious meals, and friendly staff.This is another masterpiece of the Waldorf brand, I like it very much, and I will choose it next time.

This is a truly stunning resort. I have never been to a hotel in such a remote location, yet it managed to exceed all the comforts one would expect from a premier hospitality experience. Starting with the private plane ride to the property from Mahe, everything was top notch and unforgettable (there cannot be many hotels in the world that boast their own airport like this one does). The island itself is full of incredible wildlife, and in general feels very exotic, yet the hotel has been built beautifully and subtly into the nature to not disturb the aesthetic. The beaches are pristine, the water clear and is teeming with fish, turtles, rays and small (vegetarian!) sharks, and the hotel offers no shortage of activities (diving, sea kayaking, snorkeling, paddle boarding, fishing, many others). The property itself boasts multiple high end dining outlets, all with their own unique menus, themes, ambience, staff and great music. Other common areas, including bars and pools, were stunning. Throughout the stay, the staff was warm, attentive and great to interact with. It's a small island, but quite large for how few guests there are, hence it generally feels incredibly private and personal. It was a difficult hotel to leave and not an experience I will be forgetting anytime soon.

We booked the 3 bedroom villa for the week of New Year. Overall, the stay was excellent, the highlight being the outstanding service across the entire resort. Positives 1. Our inbound flight to Seychelles was delayed 4hrs, which meant we missed the once per day flight to the island. The duty manager arranged another flight (at no additional cost) to ensure we reached the island by end of day. This was highly appreciated. 2. Villa was great (#60). Extremely spacious, modern, everything worked as you'd expect. One highlight not often seen on these type of remote resorts was the showers, an abundance of hot water and powerful. Comfortable beds, etc. 3. Customer service was outstanding. Everywhere. Personal but discrete. We had a designated person (Moussa) to assist us. Nothing was too much trouble, he was incredibly responsive, I couldn't be more effusive in my praise for his professionalism. The same for housekeeping, regularly kept the villa refreshed, nothing too much trouble. The attention to guests and providing service with a smile was evident everywhere. 4. Spa was fantastic. Treatments excellent. 5. Dinner options good, plenty of choice. I would highly recommend Moulin, which was exceptional. While vegetarian in nature, it offers a second menu which replicates the main vegetarian menu but adds fish and wagyu beef. I would say the dinners we had there were one of the highlights of the week. 6. Turtles. You see them, we were fortunate enough to see laying and hatching. 7. Island. Spacious enough to have plenty of privacy, never felt crowded. While the beaches themselves weren't as expansive as maybe other islands, still plenty of opportunities to experience different parts by using the bikes provided. Improvement Opportunities 1. Snorkelling. I'd say this was the only real disappointment, especially as it had been something we'd really looked forward to based on the geography of the island. When it's low tide, you can't snorkel (basically can walk across the lagoon). Much depends on the timing of the tides and the week you go (resort can't control that!). The week we were there, it was low tide for majority of the day unfortunately, high tide was generally between 4.30am and 7.30am (or after sunset), which meant we had to wake early and snorkel just before sunrise at 6.30am. However, with high tide, we found the water visibility to be consistently poor, which made for a lot of disappointment (especially since it was clear there were a lot of turtles, rays and sharks in the water at high tide....you saw lots of glimpses, but not much else due to visibility). As always with nature, it's a lottery and others might experience better conditions (if so, you will surely see a lot). 2. Main pool service. The pool was large with quality day beds. Unfortunately, for this part of the resort, service was a little "hit and miss". We used it three times, once service was almost immediate and excellent.....the other two times we waited 60-90 minutes a

Our stay in Platte Island was more than memorable. From the real privacy of the villas to the breathtaking nature, Waldorf Astoria in Seychelles easily became one of our favorite vacations to date. However, what made our time this amazing was the people there. Therefore, I want to start by saying, once again, a big Thank You to everyone that made it happen, especially: Donia, who we had a pleasure to have as our personal concierge. She rose to every challenge, big or small, with grace in order to ensure the best experience possible. Our stay truly wouldn’t be the same without her. Upendra, our housekeeper, who came in everyday with the biggest smile on his face. We have never met somebody with such attention to details (from our shoes being perfectly laid down to extra coffee pots for my coffee loving parents.) He truly went above and beyond for us and always made sure we had everything we needed. All the staff at Maison des epices, but especially Gino who easily felt like a friend. We started coming there for the amazing food and delicious drinks, but Gino is the reason we kept on coming back. Lastly, to Vivian, who often was our driver. He has unmatched passion and knowledge of the island and its inhabitants. I have learnt so much from him about nature, animals, and history, which I deeply appreciate. Without him, I wouldn’t leave Platte Island knowing all of the fascinating facts. Waldorf Astoria’s staff in Seychelles is unmatched to any other place we’ve been to. Moreover, the hotel’s food options were pretty great. We had lunch everyday next to the pools in our villas, which was so special. The service is great, and we never had to wait long. I have previously mentioned one of the restaurants we truly enjoyed. The second one is Moulin - a no-waste restaurant with a set menu. The staff is also incredible and the food is to die for. The third restaurant option, and the only one that offers breakfast, is La Perle. We wished there were more breakfast options, and that the staff matched the level of the other two restaurants. However, overall, we were happy with the dinning. We spent most of our days enjoying our villas and the private pools. As the beach was just steps away, my sister and I often snorkeled and our parents went on many walks on the beach. We also took many bike rides on the beautiful island and, by the recommendation of Vivian, we stargazed on the runway. I could go on and on about all the things that made our stay so incredible. However, there are few things that should be noted. Firstly, there is quite a lot of glass above the tide level. When you leave your garden, you step on the beginning of the beach that is too high for the waves to reach. I was inches away from stepping on a piece of glass sticking from the sand there. It definitely would be something, that no matter how great the hotel is, would ruin my entire vacation. We often saw empty glass bottles in the greenery as well. Moreover, as previously mentioned, we wi
