Hotel information
Set on a remote coral island in the Outer Islands of Seychelles, Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island feels a world away from everyday life. Reached by chartered or scheduled flight, arrival is part of the experience here, with vast skies, turquoise waters and an immediate sense of space and stillness setting the tone for your stay as soon as you touch down.
The resort is home to just 50 villas, each with its own private pool and generous indoor-outdoor living areas, carefully positioned among tropical vegetation or close to the shoreline. Design is contemporary and understated, shaped around the island's natural beauty, while a dedicated personal concierge ensures your every whim is realised.
Platte Island itself is a haven for wildlife and natural beauty lovers. Rays and baby sharks swish through the shallows, dolphins and whales play offshore, and giant tortoises slowly roam the island’s luscious interior.
Your days can be spent snorkelling, kayaking and exploring with water sports, or slowed down at the Waldorf Astoria Spa. Alongside traditional treatments, you can take part in a Wellness Screening using non-invasive technology to assess key health markers such as body composition, cardio fitness, recovery and metabolism. These insights are then built into a three, five or seven-night Restore Wellness Programme, combining sound healing, guided meditation, breathwork and immune-supporting massage, designed to restore balance during your stay.
Dining reflects the same connection to place, with six restaurants and bars using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients across a range of settings, from refined garden-led menus to relaxed poolside dining.
If you value stillness, space and the chance to disconnect without sacrificing comfort or service, Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island offers a private island retreat shaped by nature, wellbeing and personal pace.
