Honest review
If the brief is the most private Seychelles possible, look at Platte Island: just 50 villas, each with its own pool and a personal butler — privacy is built into the very architecture of the stay.
When booking, factor in the flight: scheduled services run daily from Mahé to Platte, 20–40 minutes in the air depending on the weather — leave a generous margin for the connection with your international flight.
The underwater world is the place's main asset: the waters around the island hold turtles, eagle rays, mantas and whale sharks, and on shore you may catch turtles laying their eggs. Encounters like these are what people come for.
The gastronomy deserves an evening of its own: a farm-to-table concept and Creole–Latin American fusion, paired with Waldorf Astoria service.
Above all this is a resort for couples and honeymoons; for a large family or group there is the five-bedroom villa — book it early.
