Waldorf Astoria Seychelles, Seychelles
Waldorf Astoria Seychelles is situated on a secluded private island, 130 kilometres south of Mahé in the Indian Ocean. Designed by the award-winning firm Eco-id Architects, the resort emerges as a serene sanctuary where luxury intertwines harmoniously with eco-conscious design.
Inspired by the island’s vibrant flora and fauna, the resort’s architecture and interiors embody a meticulous fusion of opulence and environmental mindfulness.
The main buildings echo the beautiful colored and patterned tortoiseshell of the native Hawksbill turtles, forming faceted shapes that create light and airy canopies throughout the arrival building, resort center, and villas. Sensitively positioned away from the shoreline, the villas boast expansive gardens that provide a serene haven for nesting sea turtles.
The resort’s exclusive location on a private island with its own runway provides an exceptional experience, and amenities such as a kids’ club, outdoor observatory, tennis courts, and marine conservation discovery center make for a well-rounded luxury escape.
The resort’s commitment to sustainability is evident through the use of a solar field for renewable energy, while its six restaurants and bars utilize fresh produce grown on the island itself. Guests can indulge in wellness treatments at the on-site spa and immerse themselves in a stunning natural setting with native marine life.
Every aspect, from the carefully chosen materials designed to withstand the tropical humid marine environment, to the textures and patterns derived from nature’s palette, reflects a profound respect for the island’s natural splendor.
Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island promises guests a truly immersive experience where luxury and environmental consciousness unite in perfect harmony amidst the unspoiled beauty of Platte Island.
