Located 130 kilometers south of Mahé, the Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island was brought to life by the award-winning architecture firm Eco-id, whose vision blends ecological sensitivity with understated elegance.

 

The resort’s aesthetic draws inspiration from the island’s lush wildlife, particularly the native Hawksbill turtles. The main structures—featuring soft angles and light-filtering canopies—echo the intricate patterns of a tortoiseshell.

Villas are strategically positioned away from the coastline to protect sea turtle nesting areas and are surrounded by generous gardens that provide a tranquil setting and natural privacy.

 

Waldorf Astoria Seychelles offers much more than just stunning accommodations. With its own airstrip for private arrivals, it ensures maximum exclusivity and ease of access. 

 

Guests can explore a wide range of thoughtful amenities, including an outdoor observatory, a kids’ club, tennis courts, and a marine discovery center dedicated to environmental education and ocean conservation.

Sustainability is at the core of this island haven. A solar farm powers the resort, while the six on-site restaurants and bars emphasize local ingredients and garden-fresh produce. From La Perle’s Mediterranean seafood to the Creole-Latino dishes at Maison des Epices and Moulin’s wellness-inspired menu, dining here is as mindful as it is indulgent.
