Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas

It is one of the best places to visit in Seychelles, and it is worth every penny. The staff is astonishing, the food is super amazing, and the location is superb. If you're looking for a unique experience, then you are looking at the right place. Enjoyy your trip.

The hotel has a amazing view and great service verity of foods and drinks and great personal service as well and really clean place

What a disappointment - rather, a mess. Nowhere near the expectactions that brand and price tag carry. A souless place for new money that wish to feel spoiled by having a subvservient butler that doesnt anything that a regular staff at a hotel would not do for you. It is not exactly a hotel. These are villas that are serviced. The facilities are almost non-existent: one restaurant to have all the meals of the day (or order to your villa) + a spa. No atmosphere at all, book only if you wish to be isolated but there are better places for sure. The hotel offers nothing but the stay at the villa and access to pool: you are a hostage at your hotel of suggested activities to keep you busy, all at speculative prices. Your villa pool is cold. The general pool is tiny and water is cold as well. Beach of the hotel is 5 meters long, they beach shown in pictures is a lateral beach. In one evening, villa had no hot water. The tap lever fell. Food quality is ok or sub-par depending on what you order. Coming from Constance Lemuria Praslin, you almost cry after landing here. Service is confused. Breakfast is a la carte, but they place everything on the table at the same time after 20 minutes of wait. Obviously, some of your requests are cold by then. In one breakfast, they managed to bring all the juices to the table after we had eaten (except for an expresso coffe, brought mid-meal...!) In one dinner, starters and mains were all brought to the table at the same time (we were not near the closing time of the restaurant, even if that could be argued as a justification). There was no sommelier to discuss the wine - and this is a suppsedly award winner resort on wine matters per Wine Spectator. (So is Constance Lemuria in Praslin, where more than one sommelier would be ready to lively talk about and suggest wines on an always pleasant chat). Management should hop on a flight and have a 3 day stay at Constance Lemuria, Praslin, to understand how to serve diverse guests with quality. Again, prices are speculative. We rented a car to find a contract of a previous guest in the glove box that had been charged less 25eur per day. After complaining, obviously they corrected the price. It is not about the money: that's the price of a glass of wine here. It's the feeling that you are being constantly squeezed for speculative prices. Note: Seychelles are expensive, but this is on another level. Again, new-money prices. Top it up, the breakfast for departure. Firstly, we got an unprompted wake up call at 4am (we would be waking up at 4h30m) confirming if we wanted breakfast (we had a butler to arrange this, supposedly, which he did, supposedly, the evening before). We made our requests the evening before as requested and we receive a disproportionate amount of food - example being one pineapple for two pax. While generosity is to be commended, this is just bad service. They sent us a jar of juice with no glasses to drink from. Yoghurts with no spoons. Boiled eggs that

We spent a week at Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas for our honeymoon, and the experience was absolutely wonderful. Our villa was stunning! Beautifully designed and the outdoor area was a true sanctuary. Private, peaceful, and it feels like you are in the jungle, it gave us a sense of freedom and space that made our honeymoon feel incredibly special. We were looked after by our butler, Dian, who was simply amazing. Always smiling, kind, and made everything run so smoothly for us. She helped us relax and enjoy every moment without having to think too much. Thank you! Most of our meals were enjoyed in the villa, and from breakfast to dinner, the food was consistently delicious and there was plenty of variety. The massages at the spa were also excellent, deeply relaxing and exactly what we needed after months of planning and organizing our wedding. A small note: the villa pool wasn’t heated, which made it a little refreshing at times, but in the warm Seychelles weather, this wasn’t a big issue. The staff overall were warm, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. Special mention to the bartender (unfortunately we didn’t catch his name!) a fun and friendly guy who gave us great tips on local places worth visiting, like quiet and safe beaches. We appreciated that a lot! This was a once in a lifetime experience and exactly the kind of honeymoon we had dreamed of. Thank you to everyone at Maia!
