Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island

Newly opened in January 2023 on the South of Platte Island, its just a short 20 minute flight from Mahe to reach this luxurious resort.  This pristine Island, formerly a coconut plantation Island is an untouched paradise and a great place to reconnect with nature.  The resort has been built around the vegetation with a huge focus on the local wildlife and nature and the rich marine life.  Locally this Island is often referred to as the nursery of the Indian Ocean. 

Turtles nest on the beach and the resort are proudly working to maintain sustainability and protect the local wildlife. 80% of the resorts energy comes from solar panels and many conservation projects are run by the resort. The Waldorf Astoria offers exclusivity on its own private Island with its own runway, great kids club, sustainable atmosphere, activities for everyone and incredible native marine life,  making it a great luxury getaway.
