Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island

If you have the chance, don't hesitate—stay here. We spent four nights, and they were simply incredible. Everything was spectacular: the island is a true paradise, the villa is amazing, the food is outstanding, and every corner of the resort feels peaceful and exclusive. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the staff. They made us feel at home from the very first moment and took care of every little detail. We leave with memories that will stay with us forever and already hope to come back one day. Thank you for making our stay so special. A perfect 10 from start to finish!

Our stay at the Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island was nothing short of unforgettable. The experience begins before you even arrive—you board a tiny scenic plane that glides over the breathtaking turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean before landing on the island. From that moment on, you know you’re somewhere truly special. Each morning, breakfast was a highlight. The combination of an abundant buffet and an exceptional à la carte menu meant every day started perfectly, with incredible food and impeccable quality. The island itself is magical. Seeing sharks and sea turtles swimming just behind our villa felt almost unreal, and the daily lineup of arts, crafts, and activities ensured there was always something to enjoy. Feeding the giant tortoises became one of our favorite memories and is something we’ll never forget. But what makes this place extraordinary is its people. Our concierge, Angelle, made every detail effortless with genuine warmth and care. Our personal concierge, Karan, anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. Gary made every activity memorable with his enthusiasm and kindness. And Anmol deserves special recognition—even while on holiday, he still went above and beyond to help us from afar. That level of dedication speaks volumes about the culture of this resort. A special thank you also goes to the incredible kitchen team and restaurant servers. Every meal felt like coming home. We were welcomed each day with such genuine warmth, kindness, and familiarity that it felt less like being served by staff and more like being greeted by old friends. Their smiles, conversations, and heartfelt hospitality transformed every breakfast and dinner into an experience we genuinely looked forward to. Luxury can be found in beautiful villas and pristine beaches, but true luxury is how people make you feel. The team at Waldorf Astoria Platte Island has mastered that art. We will never forget this island. Its beauty will stay with us forever, but even more so, the extraordinary people who gave it its heart. Long after you leave, your heart yearns not only for the paradise you’ve left behind, but for the remarkable staff who made it feel like home. That, more than anything, is what makes this place truly unforgettable.

We spent a week here for our honeymoon, and the resort managed to feel peaceful without ever becoming monotonous. There was always something to do, from snorkeling and tennis to the gym and other daily activities. The island itself is remarkable: giant tortoises roam the grounds, hermit crabs cover the beaches, and the views across the seemingly endless ocean are unforgettable. The hotel’s snorkeling excursion was far better than we expected. We were taken out to a spectacular coral reef filled with colourful fish. Viktorria, our personal concierge, thoughtfully arranged a lesson with DOMIK, who was patient and supportive and helped my wife feel comfortable in the water. Viktorria looked after us throughout the stay, arranging our transfers and keeping us updated each day with activities and dining information. The entire team was consistently warm and attentive. Breakfast was generous and varied, with different selections each day. The hotel also prepared several thoughtful honeymoon touches, including evening desserts, a special cheesecake at breakfast and a flower-petal bath.

Spent 6 days on Platte for our honeymoon, and it’s the best decision we’ve made. Everything is exceptional on this island. Aya is helpful with arranging activities and dinner reservations, and providing useful information. We snorkeled almost everyday, and Dhamika is super helpful and knowledgeable in helping us find the best spot. The cleaning staff Marie is also incredible in performing magic in cleaning. Food is incredibly good compared to other resorts, we just came from Bora bora Conrad/westin and I have to say the food on Platte is 3 times better than there. The tortoise habitat is a plus plus on the island, had so much fun petting the giant tortoises and feeding the baby ones. The tennis court is exceptional. Been there twice and enjoyed so much. Staff at breakfast is very nice, and attentive to details. Making the experience effortless and enjoyable. Communication is very prompt. Aya replies within 1 minute every time we needed her. This resort opened in 2024/2025, and the team is already operating mature and experienced. The island is a true paradise, will definitely come back again.

We were extremely satisfied with our stay at this hotel and had a truly wonderful time. The food was of very high quality, healthy, and incredibly delicious. We felt completely at ease. The service was simply excellent, whether at breakfast, lunch, or dinner – everything was top-notch. The island is very private, and the villas are simply beautiful. We had direct sea access, and the sea was stunning for snorkeling. We experienced so much, especially thanks to the two beach guides who showed us so much. A very special thanks goes to our concierge Lana, who was simply amazing. She fulfilled all our wishes, was always there for us, and the rest of the team at breakfast, dinner, everywhere, was really, really good. The tranquility and the clear water took us to a different world every day. We will definitely return, as this hotel exceeded all of our expectations. We can highly recommend this hotel.
