MAIA Luxury Resort & Spa, Seychelles

Maia is one of the most exciting resorts in the Seychelles. It is set on a private peninsula on the southwest coast of the island of Mahé. Its 30 spacious one bedroom villas have uninterrupted ocean views, some of the villas are set on the white sandy beaches whilst the others are perched high on the hilltop with panoramic views.  Service lies at the core of Maia’s philosophy; each villa has a dedicated butler, available 24 hours a day, for the duration of a guest stay. The spa at Maia offers beauty treatments by La Prairie and the Maia signature massage – the therapists at Maia have each undergone four months training in the ‘philosophy of touch’.  Maia’s dining room, Tec-Tec, lies at the heart of the resort and it is here that four head chefs from around the world each create a different style of cuisine – Fish and Seafood, Créole, Asian and French.  

Maia was awarded ‘Best Hotel for Food’ in Condé Nast Traveller 2010 Gold List  and ‘Best for Nurturing Body & Soul in Harpers Bazaar 2010 Travel Guide.
