Frown lines and knotted backs.
On a secluded beach on Mahe, the largest island of the Seychelles, just 30 minutes from the international airport.
30 one-bedroom villas with 180° ocean views, infinity pools, outdoor gazebos with oversized day beds and outdoor baths allow for relaxation and pampering in total privacy. To top it off, each comes with a 24-hour private butler service so your every whim is granted without even having to leave your room. The brainchild of renowned architect Bill Bensley, the hotel effortlessly combines Balinese and Creole influences creating a soft and soothing atmosphere with plenty of natural wood furnishings.
Dining at Maia is a treat, a blend of the very best international cuisine using the freshest ingredients. The Tec Tec restaurant specialises in Mediterrenean cuisine with an Asian-Creole influence, and private dining experiences are available down on the beach or in the secluded pavillion. The Maia Spa by La Prairie has been designed with total relaxation in mind, offering a variety of luxurious treatments, such as the well-known Jari Menari (dancing fingers) massage. In the Meditation Pavilion, internationally trained yoga professionals teach Yoga, Qi Gong and Self Shiatsu. There’s also a fully equipped fitness centre, wonderful swimming pool and snorkels, kayaks and canoes are available, so you’ll return home rested, restored and in tip top condition.
Slow right down and do nothing more than enjoy the peace and tranquility of Anse Louis beach and perhaps the odd yoga session, or hit the water for canoeing, kayaking, snorkelling and fishing. Take a tour of the beautiful gardens with over 300 plant species set on 12 acres, or head inland for trips to the Seychelles’ national parks and tropical forests.
Pillow menus are so last year… Maia offers a bath menu complete with a selection of bath oils, fragrances and candles.
