Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island

Although a few weeks have passed since our stay, we are still impressed by this extraordinary piece of the world - a tiny island in a big ocean. It is obvious that we immersed ourselves in the wild nature there, but the most important thing is that we were surrounded by extraordinary hospitality and welcome by the people who make the Waldorf Astoria hotel life. At this point, we would like to thank Donia - our personal concierge, Marie Eve from guest service and Rani from spa. Sebastien was responsible for absolutely exquisite dishes and service and Gary for special events with fantasies.

Incredible resort with wonderful hospitality, a unique remote setting, and superb food and beverage. One of our favourite all-time resort stays in any part of the world. Seamless 24-hour service from our personal concierge Dom and extraordinary cocktails from Adul and the Lalin bar team were highlights of the experience. Must do? A sunrise run around the full perimeter of the island on the sand (~3.5km).

The stay was very pleasant. We stayed in amazing villa with a direct access to the beach and sea. The food and drinks are top quality. I would like to personally thanks our Personal Concierge Yogi as she was always helpful and there for us for anything. Your stay exceeded our expectations.

Let me start by saying that we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. This was our 2nd trip to the Seychelles. The first time we stayed at the Four Seasons. From beginning to end, the resort and the service were outstanding. We arrived on an early morning flight in Male and had about a 5 hour layover. We were met out our gate by a representative and escorted to the Waldorf Lounge at Male airport. I believe his name was Yves. he was a superb representative for the hotel. He was so helpful and informative. The Waldorf Seychelles is situated on its own island. It really is beautiful. Our pool villa was spectacular. The attention to detail in the rooms (such as beach bag, hats, water shoes, twice a day housekeeping) really stood out. But what makes this place special is the people, in particular our concierge/host (Yogi). Yogi handled all of our dinner reservations, spa appointments, and transport around the property. She also was very thoughtful in leaving us special treats. One day, I wasn't feeling well and she made sure to send some special tea to our room. She also arranged a special sushi dinner one night (sushi is on the lunch menu, but not dinner). I can't say enough positive things about everyone on the staff, but in particular Yogi. The food was very good at all of the restaurants. We were worried that we would get tired of the food. But everything we had, we really enjoyed at each restaruants. I know that some people complain about pricing and "yes" it is expensive, but the quality and experience was very good. The only thing that disappointed us about our trip was it rained 3/5 days. That is the not the hotel's fault. But it allowed us to spend more time in the spa and gym. We don't repeat a lot of hotels and resorts, but this is one I would absolutely consider coming back to.

My stay at the Waldorf Astoria Seychelles exceeded my every expectation!! From the incredible food, stunning design and tropical paradise grounds to the staff, who were among the very best I have ever experienced, and the sense of privacy and exclusivity, this property more than deserves its Forbes 5 Star recognition!!
