Hilton has announced plans to debut its Waldorf Astoria brand in the Seychelles at the end of 2023.
Comprising of 50 seafront villas, Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island will be located in a pristine atoll fringed by palm forests on the island of Platte. The property is set to offer villas of up to five bedrooms, each with their own private pool and personal concierge.
The resort will also feature six restaurants and bars, offering a range of culinary experiences that celebrate the bounty of fruit and vegetables grown on the island. The Waldorf Spa meanwhile will be a destination for holistic wellbeing, boasting six treatment rooms, a beauty salon, hammam, spa suite and serene outdoor spaces.
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, delivering a sustainable farm-to-table culinary experience.
“In the two decades I have called remote tropical islands a home, I have never witnessed an island as pristine as Platte Island, nor one so teaming with wildlife, where it is possible to glimpse endangered Hawksbill turtles laying eggs, eagle rays and reef sharks ribboning along the lagoon,” comments General Manager Elias Pertoft. “This, combined with the elegant Waldorf Astoria service and personalised guest experiences, is a winning combination that will redefine luxury in the Seychelles.”
The opening of Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island will take Hilton’s Seychelles portfolio to five hotels, joining Mango House Seychelles, LXR Hotels & Resorts; Hilton Seychelles Northolme Resort & Spa; Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa; and DoubleTree by Hilton Seychelles – Allamanda Resort & Spa. Further Seychelles openings on the horizon for Hilton include Canopy by Hilton Mahé.
