Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island

My partner and I stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island at the end of October, and we were absolutely blown away. This was, without a doubt, one of the most unforgettable hotel experiences we’ve ever had. The Villa: Our villa was enormous, beautifully designed, and incredibly luxurious. Everything was spotless and perfectly maintained. We’ve never stayed in a villa this spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped. The private garden and the direct access to the beach were simply spectacular — it felt like our own private paradise. Nature & Wildlife: The island itself is breathtaking. We saw so much wildlife — from giant tortoises roaming freely, to sharks and colorful fish while snorkeling, and countless other fascinating species. The natural beauty of Platte Island is truly unique and unlike anything we’ve experienced before. Dining: The culinary experience was phenomenal. Every meal was impressive in both quality and presentation. We especially recommend Maison des Epics and La Perle, where we had wonderful dining experiences. Even the in-villa dining was excellent — everything arrived fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. Service: Service across the entire resort was world-class. Staff members addressed us by name throughout our stay, which made everything feel very personal and professional. A special mention goes to our personal concierge, Viktoriia, who was absolutely exceptional. She anticipated our needs, handled every request flawlessly, and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. She truly was the best — we felt genuinely cared for from the very first moment. The breakfast team and all other staff members were equally warm, attentive, and dedicated. Overall: The location, the natural surroundings, the wildlife, the food, the villa, the service — everything was perfect. The value for what you receive is absolutely fair for such an extraordinary experience. We are already dreaming about returning. This place is magical, and we cannot wait to come back soon. Highly, highly recommended.

That was our first visit to Seychelles and we made an unforgettable trip to Platte Island to stay for a short runaway trip to a true jewel of Hilton family. From the first steps on Seychelles ground we were surrounded with an exclusive treatment from VIP fast track which makes our short connection timely and smooth. Our private butler Stefania did a great job to made our stay pleasant and joyful. I personally highly recommend to management to appraise her effort. Apart of the beautiful suite with a garden and private pool, hotel offers tremendous amount of SPA treatment experiences which its manager Levant kindly offered and recommended. This makes your stay not only entertaining, but healthy as well. I would also like to touch upon the cuisine offered by hotel restaurants, I truly felled in love with grill restaurant offering fresh seafood and nicely made steaks. My personal appreciation to the chef Sebastian who was kind enough to treat me with specially made breakfast on my personal choice. During your ocean experiences you may observe giant sea turtles freely bathing along side with you. Please accept my sincere appreciation to the hotel management for the great experience we had on the island, making me most definitely returning guest.

Honestly pack your bags and come to the Waldorf Astoria Platte Island Seychelles. The whole island was so private. The villa was outstanding. The whole experience was such a memorable one. The highlight of our Wedding anniversary celebration honeymoon to the Waldorf Seychelles was none other than CHEF ALLISON from Moulin Restaurant, we tried all the menu that was offered in that restaurant and everything was amazing but Chef Allison made it more special by creating a special 6 course menu that blew me and my husband palates away, she took our palates through around the world to Mexico,Thailand,Japan & Korea. We’ve dined in Michelin stars restaurants and worlds 50 Best restaurants and we can honestly say that Chef Allison is truly a Michelin star chef with her knowledge of a lot of cuisines and master of Fermentation. She makes the best KIMCHI ! Thank you for making our honeymoon such an unforgettable experience. Regards, Safina & Ryan

My husband and I came here for 6 nights on our honeymoon and while we had a good time there's definitely some areas of work to be attended to. The property is stunning. Old coconut tree plantation. Covered in beautiful coconut trees and white sands. Private island that makes you feel like you have the beach to yourself at times. Only downside is my husband and I were picking up beach trash at times and when we would alert one of the workers that we were leaving the trash outside our villa they didn't pick it up...I don't understand that. For a resort like this...we were picking up too much trash... My favorite part was the villa. One of the most beautiful rooms I've ever stayed in. The design and detail was there. They feel brand new and are very modern. Quick walk to the beach from our backyard- loved having our own little direct path. I loved how they gave us a tote bag in our room to use along with sun hats. Thoughtful touch! The best service we had was our housekeeper Bilail. He paid such attention to detail and left us some thoughtful touches during our stay. I really looked forward every night to our turn down treat. The food was good. Chef Seb is a star for sure. He greeted us everyday to see how we were doing. He's very personable. From my understanding he just arrived within this past year and it seems like the team is young or new maybe. The waiters, while friendly and lovely, did not seem to know the menu and when it comes to dietary allergens, some work definitely needs to be done. There was an item on the menu listed GF (gluten free) and it was not. We even pointed out the mistake and there was no action taken to fix it...My brother has celiacs and I unfortunately would tell him not to come here for the lack of care in this area. They are not prepared for anyone with celiacs as they only use one oven we were told. I am gluten free and it seemed like they were caught off guard and not prepared for that. Our local CPK does a better gluten free pizza. I expect more from a 5 star resort where you're paying this much money. I would've liked to have chips and guac by the pool but unfortunately they had NO gluten free chip option! which is wild to me because that is so easy to make. Usually places at least have corn chips...I was shocked when this 5 star place could not accommodate such an easy request. This was a disappointment for me. The cocktail bar Lalin is beautiful but they definitely need to have a basket with blankets as sometimes it gets chilly at night and when we asked for one, they forgot and never brought so my husband had to leave to go get something. At a place like this you expect the service to be at a certain level and it just wasn't quite there. We had to go and find someone to check out of the bar as they had left after serving the drinks. One of our favorites was the spa. It's really lovely and worth going to for sure! I enjoyed the morning arts and crafts activities and Michellea who works there is super fun and lovely. We paid to go snorkeling in the lagoon where they take you out and that was a highlight for us. We saw lots of beautiful fish, a shark and an eagle ray. It is really off putting tho when as soon as you get off the boat someone is standing there with a check for you to sign. Overall the place is beautiful and it is cool to experience a private island. I'm glad we did it. As someone who has traveled to both major corporate 5 star resorts and privately owned 5 star luxury spots I can say there is a notable difference in service and hospitality. There's no going over and above here. Maybe if you offer more money they will. They forgot to completely check us out so to our fun surprise days after getting home we got an email saying they made a mistake and we need to pay even more money. It's a bummer for me to write this review. I had such high hopes and truly the people at this resort are lovely. It's worth experiencing once I think for just a few days. At this time I would say we will not be returning to Platte island.

Dear Management and Team Members of Waldorf Astoria Platte Island, we are very happy with our stay at your hotel. Service is at the very high level, the staff are very well trained and qualified. Our grandchildren enjoyed a lot and would like to come back. They liked the crabs, turtles, the ocean, pool, and the atmosphere in the resort. Great attitude from staff members. Especially we would like to mention Stefaniia, Rufuna, Viktoriia, Isminaz, Shabu, Bilal and spa therapists, specifically Levant. We wish you all the greatest success, happiness and health. We will see you again!
