The Waldorf Astoria Platte Island is an exciting new hotel opening for the Seychelles in early 2024, set on a private island around 130 kilometres south of Mahé. The previously undeveloped island is now home to a luxury resort with six restaurants and bars, including Moulin which utilises fresh ingredients from Platte Island’s garden. Villas range in size from one to five bedrooms and each enjoys a private pool and spacious terrace. The villas have calming neutral interiors and luxurious touches, alongside a personal butler service, to provide a relaxing sanctuary. At the spa, guests will find a hammam alongside modern treatments inspired by Seychellois traditions. Explore the rich biodiversity found in the island’s surrounding waters, where you can see turtles, eagle rays, manta rays and even whale sharks, if you are particularly lucky. The Waldorf Astoria Platte Island provides a sophisticated private island escape, combining modern luxuries with natural beauty.
At Love To Explore we would recommend the resort for these unique selling points:
- Luxurious accommodation with butler service
- Private island within an untouched atoll
- Exemplary service

FAQs
Why book a tailor-made holiday with a luxury travel specialist?
The best trips feel effortless, but behind every seamless journey is thoughtful planning and genuine expertise. A luxury travel specialist brings first-hand destination knowledge, trusted recommendations and personalised service to every itinerary, ensuring your holiday is shaped around you. From choosing the finest hotels and experiences to managing all the finer details, tailor-made travel allows you to make the most of your time away without the stress of organising it yourself.
What types of holidays do you specialise in?
Love To Explore specialises in thoughtfully crafted journeys designed entirely around each individual traveller. From slow, sun-drenched escapes on idyllic Indian Ocean islands to immersive, adventure-led safaris through the African wilderness, every trip is shaped by personal style and pace. While Africa and the Indian Ocean remain at the heart of what we do, our trusted network of local experts allows us to extend far beyond, opening the door to extraordinary destinations across the globe.
How far in advance should I book a holiday?
There is no single rule when it comes to booking your next escape, as every journey is completely bespoke. Whether you’re planning a special milestone trip years in advance or seeking a spontaneous last-minute escape, we can help shape it at any stage. That said, for the best choice of boutique lodges and the most sought-after properties, we recommend beginning the planning process around nine months to a year ahead, allowing the widest possible access to availability and experiences. For certain safari lodges and iconic seasonal moments, such as Japan’s cherry blossom season, we would advise planning up to two years in advance.
