Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island

I had an amazing experience from the warm reception at the Mahe airport to the lounge n to a beautiful reception at the hotel. Very friendly staff, spotless rooms and my spa experience was luxurious! My personal concierge was top notch always available and ready with ideas for the day! Loved the charter ride so professional n timely.

What an absolutely incredible stay me and my daughter had! Exceeded all expectations and the expectations were high, From the stunning grounds of the island to the amazing staff and gorgeous food everything was perfect, we didn’t need to ask a member of staff a thing, it’s like they knew your needs within the second, every member of staff are superb, special shout out to Soukaina out concierge who went above and beyond to make sure our stay was magical, and everything taken care of, even organised a surprise gift and table decoration for my daughters birthday which was so special I can’t thank you enough 1000/10.

We stayed at Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, and it was genuinely one of the best weeks of our lives. The island itself is spectacular. Pristine, almost empty beaches, complete privacy and wildlife everywhere. We snorkelled with Hawksbill and green turtles right off the beach and watched sharks patrolling the shallows by our villa. The pace of the place is exactly right. Nothing is pushed, but everything is possible. What turned a beautiful stay into an unforgettable one, though, was the team, and above everyone else, our personal concierge, Viktoriia. From the moment we arrived, she made herself completely available to us, and she genuinely meant it. Our days usually started with her checking in and helping us put together a little menu of activities based on whatever mood we were in. One morning it was padel, the gym, kayaking and snorkelling. The next was about doing absolutely nothing. When the weather turned against us, and it did more than once, she never let it become our problem. A snorkelling session we’d hoped for was fully booked, so she found us another slot. When red flags went up and all water activities were stopped, she kept us updated and rearranged things without ever making it feel like an inconvenience. She seemed to be thinking one step ahead of us the whole time. At one point, a boat snorkelling trip needed a minimum of two other guests, which we didn’t have. Rather than letting us miss out, she simply arranged for it to be private for the two of us. It ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. Then there was the wedding dress. We’d brought it hoping to get some anniversary photos on the runway, but the weather seemed determined to make it difficult. For two evenings we watched the sky together and messaged back and forth about whether a gap in the rain might last long enough. Viktoriia never once suggested we give up. When we finally got our window, she was ready to make it happen. There was an additional flight operating on the island that day, which meant the drone required special approval from both the island manager and the airline operator. She kept working on it while we waited, and when the approval finally came through, she messaged to say she was coming to collect us. She then photographed us relentlessly. The two of us sent over sixty photos and videos back and forth that evening. The following afternoon, without us asking, she had one of the photos printed and framed for us to take home. We still don’t quite know how to thank her properly for that. Somewhere in the middle of all of this, she also arranged a quiet romantic surprise waiting for us in our villa one evening, for no reason other than wanting to make the week feel special. What we appreciated most was that nothing ever seemed to be too much trouble. We changed dinner times, moved activities around, asked about things we’d spotted on the schedule, changed our minds and chased the weather, and every time she simply worked around us. It never felt transactional. She genuinely seemed to want us to have the week we had imagined. On our last morning, we asked if we’d see her before we left. She made time to come and say goodbye in person and take a photo with us, even though she almost certainly had new guests arriving. By then, we were genuinely sad to be leaving and wanted a photo with her as much as we wanted one of the island. That goes well beyond doing a job well. She genuinely made our anniversary her own. The rest of the island wrapped itself around us just as warmly. Mornings belonged to Dylan and the breakfast team, who kept our coffee and pineapple juice flowing with real cheer before we’d even properly sat down. Damika took us snorkelling three times and seemed to love it as much as we did, pointing out Hawksbill and green turtles with an enthusiasm that was completely infectious. We could happily have spent every day of the week just following him into the water. In the evenings we moved between Maison des Epices and Moulin, where the team member we came to know simply as “Spaghetti Man” and his colleague Ang looked after us so well that we kept going back, and La Perle, where Nancy made every visit feel like she’d been expecting us. One morning Vincent talked us into a glass of bubbles with breakfast on the entirely reasonable grounds that “it’s Wednesday”. He was right. It was exactly the right call. Shay and Jeremiah gave us a boat snorkelling trip we’re still talking about. Gary quietly arranged more for us around the island than we ever asked for and kept surprising us with thoughtful little gifts. Denis poured what might have been the best coffee of the whole trip, along with a Peacock mocktail that genuinely deserves its own category. And every member of housekeeping, all week, without a single exception, did a sensational job. We arrived for an anniversary and left feeling like we’d made friends. Thank you to the whole team, and especially to Viktoriia, for a week we will never stop talking about.

An unforgettable experience from start to finish. The island is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and perfect. What really stood out, though, was the service. Every staff member was kind, helpful, and always smiling. They remembered our names and made us feel genuinely welcomed. I’ve stayed at many resorts, but Waldorf Astoria Seychelles felt completely different. From the moment we arrived, we felt so much care and hospitality. Every day and every night came with a new little surprise. Special thanks to Soukaina, Bilal, Abdul, Nitish, Karabo, Vivian, and the whole team. I’m definitely forgetting some names, but everyone was fantastic. One of the best resort experiences I’ve had. We really didn’t want to leave.
