The Waldorf Astoria brand symbolizes elegance and excellence in the luxury travel industry. This legacy is continued with the introduction of Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island.

This hotel also reflects the Waldorf brand's dedication to providing unforgettable experiences. This commitment can be seen in its personalized service. It also shows in its high-quality cuisine and luxurious accommodations. The resort's design blends with the island landscape. This ensures minimal impact on the environment and promotes sustainability. Plus, there is an on-site water treatment plant that supports the reuse of water.

Location

The hotel occupies the entire island of Platte and is a 25-minute flight from Mahe. This area in southern Seychelles used to be a coconut plantation. From the resort's beaches, all you can see is the bubbly water of the barrier reef.

Platte Island is a pristine paradise. It has powdery-white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. It also has rich biodiversity on both land and underwater. Its ecosystem is also an incredibly diverse tapestry with many plants and animals. The island also offers guests the chance to experience nature in its purest form.

Service

Staff members are mainly young and English-speaking. They come from over 40 countries, including the Seychelles, Ukraine, and Croatia. They also come from Australia and more. The service is primarily upbeat, respectful, and receptive. The cleaning staff is also very considerate. They will go above and beyond to fulfill your every wish, even if it is difficult.

Moreover, no matter your request, a personal 24-hour concierge will do their best to accommodate it. Your personal concierge can also help arrange spa treatments. They can also help with spa dining, cooking lessons, and excursions. The buggies will drive you to restaurants and other places on the island.

Rooms

There are 50 villas on the west and south sides of the Island. These range from 1 to 3 bedrooms up to the King Deluxe Villa with 5 bedrooms and extensive gardens. Also, the bathrooms have earthy tones. They have standalone white bathtubs, speckled tiles, and wood flooring. The open-plan design also allows the rooms to be arranged in a way that encourages movement. However, there are also sliding partition walls to provide plenty of privacy.

The floor-to-ceiling doors lead to a large deck patio with an infinity pool. Palm trees surround lush gardens. All buildings are a little distance from the shore to ensure that nesting hawksbills and green turtles are not disturbed. It is also best to choose bigger and odd-numbered villas, as they will be closer to shore.

Several villas have turtle nests behind them. There are turtle nests behind No. 29 (they're marked). So, expect some exciting sightings as turtles return to lay eggs. Besides, Sand Bank Beach is close to the villas in the northwest. The shallow, clear waters are also perfect for reef walks. You can also see baby sharks and juvenile stingrays. Shark Point Beach is at the south end and has more profound, more swimming-friendly water.

It is possible to walk around the entire island within an hour. Concierges can also transport you in buggies. Or, you can take the elegant white bikes to your villa. You will be cruising down tarmac roads lined with coconut trees, plants, and bushes.
