Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas

Maia Luxury Resort & Spa is located on an untouched beach in the secluded cove of Anse Louis on the south west coast of Mahé. There are 30 villas, each with its own pool, situated along the beachfront or on the hillside, offering 180-degree sea views which can be enjoyed from the oversized daybed or bath for two in the outdoor gazebo.

Cuisine at MAIA is selected to offer the freshest and most delicious meals from the finest ingredients. Savour gourmet meals at Tec Tec Restaurant serving Creole and Franco-Asian cuisine, signature cocktails and snacks at the Pool Bar or in the privacy of the villa or at a private table on the beach.

The Boutique Spa has been designed as a haven for relaxation with a number of treatments dedicated to the rejuvenation and restoration of the body, mind and soul and there is a meditation pavilion offering yoga and pilates classes.

Maia is child-friendly and family-friendly. The children are entertained with a diverse range of 'Very Important Kids' (VIK) activities and menus that suit their tastes.

For younger children there's sand castle building, accompanied swimming lessons with toys and snorkelling in the pool, as well as painting and colouring sessions. For teenagers, activities can include treasure hunts, group canoe trips, volley-ball and movies. Upon request, an activity programme can be personalised for children by arrangement with Maia's Recreational Team – and at any time during the personal butler will care for and entertain the children too.

This eco-conscious resort are always looking for ways to reduce their footprint and enhance the ecology surrounding it. Water is now bottled at their own water filtering and bottling plant, meaning there are no more plastic bottles, straws are now biodegradable and stirrers are locally made and sustainably sourced. Attending one of their weekly pop-up Marine Education Stations is an interesting way to find out about the current initiatives and learn more about the immediate environment.
