THE HOTEL
Maia captures the style and culture of Eastern influences in a unique Seychelles setting. 30 acres of lush tropical gardens and pristine beachfront at Anse Louis provide a haven of tranquillity to renew the spirit and soothe the soul. Take time out to enjoy leisurely walks and romantic dinners on the sand, or borrow a kayak and some snorkelling equipment to explore the surrounding ocean. Savour some of the most amazing cuisine in the Seychelles at Tec-Tec Restaurant. The chef and sommelier will be delighted to create a menu to suit your tastes, perhaps simply-cooked fresh tuna or a rare fillet of beef? Escape the heat of the day and head to the La Prairie spa, an oasis of cool and calm. Try the Gentle Soul Massage, a series of slow massage strokes synchronised with the breath, to deeply and gently soothe tired muscles. Maia is family-friendly and children are treated as very important guests. Your personal butler is also a child-minder and will become your child's best friend during their stay, arranging treasure hunts, swimming and movies with popcorn. There is even a kids' spa menu, including a delicious-sounding banana-split bath scent.

Eight Ocean Front Villas, three Ocean View Villas, 11 Ocean Panoramic Villas and eight Maia Signature Villas (one with its own private beach) are beautifully decorated with warm earthy tones, Thai silks and teak woods, offsetting spectacular ocean views. Each includes a spacious bedroom with TV, DVD, iPod station and cosmetics fridge, leading into a bathroom with indoor shower and La Prairie amenities. Outside, a private 8 x 4 metre pool and an oversized sunken bath await, allowing you to bathe under the stars overlooking the ocean. The adjacent gazebo with an oversized day bed and bar, is perfect for alfresco dining or private spa treatments.

Spoil yourself with dining at the famous Tec-Tec Restaurant at Maia the only gourmet restaurant on Mahe and is for the exclusive use of residents only.
