Reviews for Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island

Holiday in paradise - thank you to everyone

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

What a magical experience! Everything about this hotel is perfect. The staff are second to none, every request answered with a smile and a solution, it really was a pleasure to meet them all and spend time with them: Dominic and Vivien made our stay so comfortable it was easy to relax & come & go from the villa as we pleased. The food & cocktails are delicious, the effort put into each menu makes dining a wonderful journey. Sebastian and his team have the food meticulously crafted to excite your palate and leave you longing for the next meal. Dylan would effortlessly remember what we preferred at La Perle, making life so much sweeter. Take time to book the coffee or tea experience with Dennis & cocktail mixology with Ben. Their depth of knowledge makes for a wonderful adventure of the senses. The kids loved the kids club; a massive thank you to Sylvie for keeping our little ones entertained so we could relax! The snorkelling both inside and outside the reef are really worth doing particularly on the private tours. The reef is very much alive here and definitely worth visiting! Feeding the giant tortoises was another highlight!

The island is absolutely beautiful, from its beaches to rich greenery. Members of the staff are so attentive to your every need that its out of this world. The food has its own unique combinations of flavours to satisfy every pallet. Our beautiful hostess Ms Souki made us feel at home. Special shout out to all the restaurant staff.

Top Privacy

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

We stayed at Waldorf Astoria Platte Island and it was honestly so so beautiful. You have so much privacy with the villas and direct beach access it really feels like your own little paradise 🌴 The staff were all super friendly and always trying to make everything nice for you. The food is expensive but really very good especially at Moulin Restaurant and Maison des Épices. The manager at Moulin was so warm and made the whole experience even nicer and also thank you to Jil and her team at Maison des Épices 💛 Also the housekeeping team really puts effort into everything. On our last evening they even surprised us with a romantic bath which was so thoughtful and sweet 🛁 All in all yes it is expensive but honestly worth it We also had issues with our return flight getting cancelled and even after our stay our concierge Donia still helped us so much. That really meant a lot and you don’t see that often so thank you again to her 🙏 Everything was just great we would definitely come back ✨

Beyond expectations in every way

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Our stay at Waldorf Astoria Platte Island in Seychelles was truly unforgettable and far exceeded all our expectations. The experience started the moment we arrived in Seychelles. The hotel has its own private lounge at the domestic terminal at Mahé airport, where we waited for our flight to Platte Island. Everything was seamlessly handled by the staff and the lounge experience itself was exceptional . A perfect, stress-free start to our trip. From the moment we arrived on the island, we were surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty and outstanding service. The island is pristine, peaceful, and incredibly well maintained. The water in April was warm and calm with no waves, making it perfect for long, relaxing swims every day. We absolutely loved our villa. It was beautifully designed, very private, and truly felt like our own little paradise. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, making our stay both luxurious and comfortable. We even had a beautiful, relaxing bath set up in our villa, which was such a special touch. There were so many unique and memorable experiences. The outdoor movie nights under the stars were magical, and having a private movie night set up in our villa garden made it even more special. Stargazing on the island was breathtaking, and feeding the tortoises twice a week was such a fun and heartwarming activity. The spa and wellness offerings were outstanding. The Ayurvedic treatments were deeply relaxing and left us feeling completely rejuvenated. We also tried the wellness screening, which was a very interesting and insightful experience. Above all, the staff made everything truly exceptional. Everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making our stay perfect. A very special thank you to our butler Lana, who went above and beyond to take care of us and made our stay even more memorable. This island is a true paradise in every sense, and we are already looking forward to coming back in the future.

Waldorf Astoria Seychelles: Where Every Detail Exceeds Expectation

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

We stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Seychelles for 7 nights, and it exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we arrived via private plane to Platte island, we were greeted by our personal concierge, who already knew exactly who we were. She stayed in contact with us throughout our entire stay via text and helped coordinate anything and everything we needed it made the experience feel incredibly seamless and personalized. The spa experience was also a standout. We enjoyed massages, along with time in the sauna and steam rooms, and everything was beautifully maintained and incredibly relaxing. The spa amenities were excellent and added another layer of luxury to the stay. Every restaurant we tried was outstanding, and the staff across the entire resort were truly exceptional, consistently friendly, attentive, and always going above and beyond. It genuinely felt like our every need was anticipated before we even had to ask. Our room was absolutely stunning, complete with a private pool and just steps from our private beach area. Housekeeping came twice a day and did an amazing job each time. We especially appreciated the thoughtful little touches they left behind. Every detail stood out to us. The resort itself was pristine, extremely clean, fresh, and beautifully maintained. We were constantly surprised by thoughtful touches, from nightly snacks to perfectly coordinated transportation around the island, always paired with refreshing towels or drinks. When we called or texted our concierge for anything, it was answered within seconds every time. Some of the highlights of our trip included a private snorkeling charter (which we highly recommend), as well as snorkeling and kayaking right from the island. The marine life was incredible, we saw vibrant fish, coral reefs, baby nurse sharks, sea turtles, and sting rays throughout our stay, which was a huge reason we chose this destination in the first place. The clear water was unreal. The landscaping across the island was also stunning and meticulously cared for, adding to the overall beauty and tranquility of the resort. Breakfast each morning was amazing, with a wide variety and delicious offerings, that changed day to day. The resort also surprised us with wonderful gifts throughout our stay, which added an extra special touch. Overall, this was a truly unforgettable experience. Waldorf Astoria absolutely lived up to its luxury reputation in every detail, and we would 100% return. We can’t wait to experience more stays with the brand in the future.
