Anantara Maia Seychelles

Destination Spa

Maia is much more than a luxury hotel in the Seychelles or an ultra-high-end spa; it is a true initiatory experience of physical, mental and spiritual awakening. A rebirth symbolised by the lotus flower blossoming in the light, that of Maia. 30 dream villas serve as a tranquil haven to elevate body and mind close to lush nature. Maia is located in the south-west of Mahé Island, in the heart of emerald tropical vegetation bordering Anse Louis. Its name comes from the main star of the Pleiades constellation, and it is a true architectural gem, the work of Bill Bensley, subtly blending South Asian influences with Creole tradition. 30 luxurious villas benefit from a gigantic living space of 250 m² including an outdoor pavilion with a daybed, a private pool and a dining area. 3 types of villas are offered, all with views of the Indian Ocean. Aside from meditation and the excellence of the treatments provided at the Spa, a range of non-motorised water activities is available, and private speedboat excursions can also be arranged.

ETHICS

Unlike many hotels in the Seychelles, Maia wanted to keep a modest size to preserve the privacy of its guests and not distort the natural site. A magnificent, award-winning garden has been created featuring numerous varieties of palms, cordylines, aloes, aromatic herbs and tropical trees.
