Waldorf Astoria to Debut in Seychelles
Waldorf Astoria Hotels and Resorts,Hilton's signature luxury hotel brand, is set to open the highly anticipated Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island - signalling the debut of the brand in the Seychelles.
Creating a new benchmark for luxury in the Indian Ocean, the resort lies just over 130 kilometres south of Mahé, in a pristine atoll fringed by palm forests and migratory seabirds and turtles protected by its own lagoon and coral reef. The resort will be home to a collection of 50 seafront villas, featuring up to five-bedroom villas for unique vacation experiences, all equipped with their own private pool and personal concierge. Home to native Hawksbill turtles, eagle rays, manta rays and whale sharks, much of Platte Island's surrounding scenery remains beautifully untouched, promising a plethora of firsts and an unrivalled sense of magic for guests.
The resort will feature six restaurants and bars offering a collection of culinary experiences that celebrate the bounty of fruit and vegetables grown on Platte Island. The Waldorf Spa will offer a serene destination for holistic wellbeing, featuring six treatment rooms, a beauty salon, hammam, spa suite and serene outdoor spaces that blend harmoniously to offer guests an unparalleled spa experience.
As part of the resort's Travel with Purpose commitment, Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island will use a solar field to create renewable energy across most of its operations. The island's garden will provide a large portion of its fruits and vegetables, which will deliver a sustainable farm-to-table culinary experience for guests.
The Seychelles has long been a glamorous getaway for guests seeking the ultimate barefoot luxury holiday. Touching down on Platte Island and stepping off the plane onto this 14-kilometre-wide lagoon, stories begin, and unforgettable memories are made.
The highly anticipated opening of Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island will take Hilton's Seychelles portfolio to five hotels as it further expands its footprint in the destination, joining Mango House Seychelles, LXR Hotels & Resorts, Hilton Seychelles Northolme Resort & Spa, Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa and DoubleTree by Hilton Seychelles -Allamanda Resort and Spa. Hilton also expects to open Canopy by Hilton Mahé soon.
