Located in the Indian Ocean, just over 130 km from Mahé and accessible only by private plane, Platte Island offers an exclusive one-island, one-resort experience. Surrounded by pristine nature and vibrant marine ecosystems, the island offers distinctive amenities, personalized service and an array of unique experiences, to ensure an unforgettable stay. Platte Island covers 0.578 sq km and sits just three meters above sea level. Discovered in 1771, the name derives from the flat topography. Once a Coconut plantation, the island is lush with tropical vegetation and abundant with wildlife. It is home to large populations of seabirds and migratory species. The surrounding waters act as a nursery for juvenile marine species, including Hawksbill and Green Turtles, Lemon and Blacktip sharks, Eagle Rays, and a diverse range of fish.
Unparalleled service, distinctive accommodation, and unique activities await on our private island in Seychelles. Six restaurants and bars, the iconic Waldorf Astoria Spa, and an array of exceptional experiences and masterclasses guarantee an unforgettable stay.

A special island & property with even more special team. It was a fantastic stay, including an amazing villa with beach access, beautiful facilities, tennis and volleyball, great restaurants, and team members remembering small details related to previous request or food orders. A special thank you to our concierge Soukaina and other team members Dylan, Sam, Anjeli, Nancy, Gautam, Nitish, Karan. All team members and management were great, including management helping both team members and guests. Hi to Uzeyir! We already miss many people there and would love to come back for another stay.

We have just spent two unforgettable weeks at Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island, and it is difficult to put into words how special this place is. Platte Island itself is breathtaking — pristine beaches, turquoise ocean, incredible wildlife and untouched nature. It truly feels like a little piece of paradise. But what makes this hotel exceptional is, above all, the people. There is an incredible family feeling here. You never simply feel like a guest; you feel welcomed, cared for and surrounded by people who genuinely want you to be happy. The smiles are real, the warmth is spontaneous, and that human connection is something very rare. From Sanu, Mubarak and Cathy in housekeeping, to the wonderful restaurant and in-villa dining teams, Nancy, Sylvie, Dylan, Vincent, Simone, the spa team, Milka and Puja, Shem and the activities team, Sharon at the boutique, Vivian, Tia, Karan, Victoria, Yogi, Marwan, Aaron, Uzi and everyone working behind the scenes — thank you. So many people contributed to making our stay unforgettable. The food was another highlight. Chef Amber, Chef Audrey and Chef Cihan each gave us wonderful culinary memories. We were particularly impressed by Chef Cihan’s cooking and the elegance and simplicity of his flavours. We genuinely believe he will take the culinary experience at Platte Island to another level. One thing that impressed us enormously was how seriously the hotel takes feedback. We shared a few observations during our first week, and by the second week we could already see changes. They didn’t just listen — they acted. That says everything about the management and the desire to continuously improve. And finally, a very special thank you to Svetlana ❤️ for looking after our family so beautifully, organising everything, listening to us and always being there with kindness and a smile. After two weeks, leaving genuinely felt like leaving a family behind. The island is breathtaking, but the people are the heart and soul of Platte Island. We are leaving with full hearts, incredible memories and two very happy boys. We will miss our little paradise, but one thing is certain: we will be back. ❤️🌴 D, D, J and F

Have traveled to so many islands over the years, I can honestly say this place hit totally differently. Everything about this trip was just beautiful, and I’m already planning my next visit! A huge, massive thank you to Soukaina, who took care of our entire stay—she is genuinely incredible. She’s so honest, trustworthy, and pays attention to the tiny details you wouldn’t even think of. Also a warm shoutout to Fadwa for her sweet help, and to all the staff members who were constantly smiling and brought the best vibes every single day!
