Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island

The sense of exclusivity at the 5+ star Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island begins as you board the resort’s private aircraft from Mahe for a scenic 25-minute flight over the Indian Ocean’s vivid blue waters towards this remote island jewel. Once at the resort, classic Waldorf Astoria luxury seeps into every fibre, nowhere more evidently than across the collection of 50 exquisite seafront villas, whose creative, contemporary and tropical flavoured aesthetics are inspired by the shell of the hawksbill turtle. Here you will also find moments of epicurean ecstasy, with Executive Head Chef Jane-Therese Mulry flaunting innovative dining concepts across the six restaurants and bars, which include Creole-Latin fusion cuisine as well as tapas, oysters and champagne plus both Asian- and Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Of course, a desert island escape would be incomplete without the feel of an ice-cold cocktail in your palm, and this you can experience at Lalin, the resort’s vibrant cocktail bar, as well as its pool and beach bars, Torti and Peacock Terrace. For moments of bliss, you can linger in the stunning geometrically cut infinity pool overlooking the ocean or retire to the harmony of the island spa, which boasts six treatment rooms, a beauty salon and a hammam. For an active approach, there is a state-of-the-art fitness centre as well as a tennis court, while younger guests will delight in the broad kids’ club programme. Many of the activities at the resort focus on ecology and sustainability, with the property having implemented numerous initiatives to ensure the preservation and protection of some of the diverse species which inhabit the island. On the beach, both hawksbill and green turtles come to next, while throughout the richly coloured coral reefs which ring the island you can spot a plethora of marine species including tropical fish, turtles and manta rays. A whale watching excursion will bring you close to some of the oceans’ most impressive leviathans, with majestic humpback whales passing through these waters during their annual migratory routes.
