Global Health Day 2025 on Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island
On June 14, 2025, in honor of International Wellness Day, the Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island hotel was transformed into a true island of rejuvenation—not only for the body, but also for the mind, spirit, and, most importantly, for reconnecting with oneself, nature, and the world around us. This year's theme was “Reconnect,” and it defined every moment, every step, every breath on this secluded gem in the Indian Ocean.
The program was so well thought out that it felt less like a resort “option” and more like an inner necessity. Morning walks along the 3.5-kilometer coastline became a meditative ritual: to the whisper of the waves, guests observed rare species of flora and fauna, learned to hear the rhythm of nature and their own silence. In the evening, there was sunset yoga on deserted beaches, snorkeling as a form of mindfulness, and coconut painting master classes that turned into open-air art therapy sessions.
Those who came to the island with loved ones were offered heartfelt experiences: a picnic by the ocean or dinner in their own villa under the stars. The local chef personally helped create individual menus, turning each dinner into a culinary dialogue rather than just a meal. And, of course, there was a common cause: the weekly beach cleanup became a symbol of unity with the hotel team and nature.
The wellness experience was rounded off with practices for long-term recovery, from Ayurvedic massages to meditation sessions. In this place, you don't just relax, you remember that relaxation is also an art. And the Waldorf Astoria Seychelles Platte Island reminded us of this gently and precisely.
Opened in 2024, the resort quickly became one of the most attractive destinations on the map for quiet luxury travel. With 50 villas, six restaurants, and endless natural beauty, it became the backdrop for the main event of June 2025. But even if you didn't make it there on Wellness Day, the good news is that most of these practices are available at any time.
