The Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island opened last year and has been very stingy in releasing standard award space.
But they have now done a complete 180 and there is now wide open award space for 130K Hilton points per night. With flexible rates going for up to $2,000 per night, that’s an award bargain.
If you spend 5 nights and have Hilton status or a Hilton card, the 5th night is free, making the total 520K points, or 104K points per night.
If you spend 6 nights at the hotel, the hotel will throw in a free transfer from Mahé Seychelles International Airport. Otherwise, the transfer will add about $720 per adult or $360 per child. 6 nights would set you back some 650K Hilton points.
Or you can use free nights from your Hilton cards.
The resort is located 80 miles from the airport and takes up the entire island.
The 1,518 sq. ft One Bedroom Hawksbill Garden Pool Villa features a bedroom with one king-sized bed, a separate living room, terrace, outdoor private pool, outdoor private shower, and dining space:
You can fly with one stop from the US to Mahé, Seychelles (SEZ) on airlines like Emirates via Dubai, Etihad via Abu Dhabi, Air Seychelles from Johannesburg, Mumbai, or Tel Aviv, Kenya via Nairobi, Qatar via Doha, Air France via Paris, British Airways via London, Ethiopian via Addis Ababa, Condor from Frankfurt, Sri Lanken via Colombo, Swiss/Edelweiss via Zurich, or Turkish via Istanbul.
