Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island

Waldorf Astoria Seychelles-Platte Island is truly in a league of its own. I had never stayed at a resort where the staff was so consistently attentive, proactive, and gracious. My assigned concierge, Lana, should be the face of Waldorf Astoria hospitality; from the moment she greeted me at the resort's landing strip, her sincere care and kindness shined through and I could tell that she was determined to build me a remarkable stay like no other. Lana's efficiency was beyond impressive and could only be matched by her second-to-none attention to detail. As soon as she realized that I'm a rather picky eater, she managed to customize all my favorite foods (including the most delicious chicken parmesan with mashed potatoes and mouth-watering freshly baked oatmeal cookies that were not on the menu). Every single time I contacted her, she responded in seconds and every request was beautifully fulfilled. I would also like to recognize the incredible talent of Chef Rifky whom I had the pleasure of meeting and I was very happy to learn that he was the one who had personally been preparing my off-menu dinner entree requests. Further, my housekeeping attendant, Mubarak, kept my villa in spotless condition and even when I would go on short walks, he would clean and organize all areas of the villa to perfection, not to mention that whenever I would bump into him, he was extremely professional and friendly, ensuring that my villa had everything I needed to be comfortable. Overall, the Waldorf Astoria Seychelles-Platte Island embodies the pinnacle of modern luxury and refinement, but even when there are many rivaling luxury resorts throughout the Indian Ocean, what sets this one apart from the rest is its staff's relentless commitment to hospitality from the heart; they genuinely value and care about their guests--an extraordinary attitude shared by them as a team, ultimately making them "the cream of the cream." In my mind, their hospitality exceeds 5 stars and would easily set the gold standard for 6 stars.

The moment that I land on Platte, everyone is welcoming me with friendly smile and wishes me a happy birthday. It was surprise for me that they checked the date of my birthday upon my arrival, everybody wishing me a happy birthday. Yogi and the team arranged the birthday decoration with coconut leaves flowers, cake, champagne, and it never stop there. Everybody wish me a happy birthday during my stay and I enjoyed the bath experience. The staff and management are well organized, they have 50 villas and 3 restaurants that serve great local food with local resources, fresh fish and delicious.

From sunsets on the beach to swimming in the crystal-clear ocean, every moment at Waldorf Platte Island felt surreal. Our villa was exceptional—beautifully designed, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. The resort was full of thoughtful activities and surprises that made each day unique. The food was 10/10, made even better by the fact that most of the produce was local. Every staff member we met was kind and welcoming, and a special thanks to our personal assistant Viktoriia, who took care of every detail with genuine warmth. We’re already looking forward to coming back.

My wife and I just returned from our trip to the Waldorf for our anniversary. I'll split the review into two portions: Pre-arrival to the hotel: Before departing for our trip we were approaching the date of our flight and we had not heard from the hotel. I had reached out 3 separate times to attempt and coordinate the flight to Platte island and inquire about diving. Generally other hotels we had stayed at had been more proactive and reach out closer to the booking date rather than the departure/cancellation dates. We had waivered a few times about cancelling our stay at the property. Arrival in the Seychelles As disorganized as the pre-arrival was giving less than 5-stars would be disservice to what we experienced once we landed in Mahe and on the island. Top to bottom from the villa, food, and staff were all above and beyond. There was daily actives (free & paid) to keep guests entertained. They have also just got a new dive company on the island and Liz was fantastic to go diving with. A few folks that stood out to us during our time on the island: Caleb & Tobi - These guys will have you laughing the entire time and keep you busy with activities on and off the water. "I love it" Chef Sebastian - Did a wonderful job with all of the food and we really enjoyed getting to know him. Each morning our conversations with him were some of our favorites. Adul- An absolute mad scientist of a bar tender. He is a joy to talk with and makes drinks I've never seen or tasted in any of my travels. Svetlana- Our concierge for the week who organized surprises (we took them all home) and kept us in the loop with things on the island. She took care of us the entire time. After our stay our flight home was cancelled and we had no idea where to go. It was late at night and there were no arriving flights, so all of the taxis were gone. Lana had organized a hotel and taxi for us within 10 minutes. There were so many others I could continue writing about, but thankful for the memories we were able to take home with us.

From the moment we arrived at the Waldorf Astoria Seychelles, every detail exceeded our expectations. Viktoria, our hostess, welcomed us with exceptional warmth and professionalism, making us feel at home from the very first moment. Her attention was constant yet discreet, always ensuring everything was perfect. Each day we enjoyed exquisite dishes, prepared with fresh ingredients and presented with the kind of finesse that reflects the hotel’s outstanding quality. A truly unforgettable culinary experience. And the spa… simply sublime. Without a doubt, the most pleasurable experience of all. A haven of peace, with treatments that blend traditional and modern techniques, all in perfect harmony with nature. A place that invites you to return. Thank you for an unforgettable stay.

The service here was impeccable. We felt like the staff was our family by the end of the trip. They took such a thoughtful approach to customer service. Each guest gets a personal concierge that is there for you every step of the way. Also, the food and accommodations were both excellent.
