A much anticipated opening in late 2023, marking the debut of Waldorf Astoria in Seychelles
The Seychelles has long been a glamorous getaway for guests seeking the ultimate barefoot luxury holiday. A favourite amongst celebrities, private islands offer that extra touch of exclusivity and glamour.
Top that up with the exceptional Waldorf Astoria service and amenities, and you’ve got one of the most anticipated private island resort opening of this year: Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island.
About Platte Island
Home to native Hawksbill turtles, eagle rays, manta rays and whale sharks, much of Platte Island’s surrounding scenery remains beautifully untouched, promising a plethora of firsts and an unrivalled sense of magic for guests.
Creating a new benchmark for luxury in the Indian Ocean, the resort lies just over 130 kilometres south of Mahé, and is exclusively accessible by the resort’s private aircraft, in just 20 minutes from Seychelles International Airport. Jetting off to a private island paradise in Waldorf Astoria style, anyone?
The story begins as you touch down on Platte Island, onto this 14-kilometer-wide lagoon located in a pristine atoll protected by its own coral reef, unveiling a natural wonderland.
Villas
Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island will offer a secluded seascape, home to a collection of 50 seafront villas, featuring up to five-bedroom villas, all equipped with their own private pool and personal concierge.
Discover New Ways to Indulge Your Senses
The Waldorf Spa will offer a serene destination for holistic wellbeing, featuring six treatment rooms, a beauty salon, hammam, spa suite and serene outdoor spaces that blend harmoniously with nature.
Redefining Destination Dining
The resort will feature six restaurants and bars offering a collection of culinary experiences that celebrate the bounty of natural resources on Platte Island.
From an Afro-Latin fusion restaurant & bar with a carnival to entertain you late into the night, to a garden-to-table concept nestled in tropical settings, or a trendy pool bar offering Creole inspired tapas, each experience promises to be inventive, tasteful and memorable.
Experience It Your Way
A nature’s lover paradise, such a unique destination calls for unique experiences.
Platte Island also witnesses the migration of a variety of tropical birds along with a vibrant population on the island. And to protect these unbeatable natural surroundings, Waldorf Astoria has partnered with local non-profit organisations, Marine Conservation Society Seychelles and Island Conservation Society, to run conservation projects that provide lasting solutions and preserve the pristine nature of Platte Island.
Guests will be able to enjoy marine safaris and memorable ocean experiences in one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems in the world. A nesting site for Hawksbill turtles, you can expect to see them laying, hatching and meandering to the sea during the various seasons.
Experiences That Last
Kids will also be in for a treat with nature camps and dedicated activities with the on-site Marine Biologist, to give back to the beauty of the ocean while helping with its preservation and conservation.
An exclusive destination with unrivalled hospitality in the midst of pristine nature, Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island promises to be the epitome of private island luxury, where unforgettable memories are made.
