Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas Reviews

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 scenery is picturesque, with a wide and boundless view. The villa is well maintained and the professional butler is available 24 hours a day. You can dine in the room or at the beach restaurant. I think the taste is the best I have eaten in Seychelles. It is a great place for couples to travel or honeymoon.

The best hotel in Seychelles. Everything is super. Separate villas with a butler and 24-hour service.

The villa is very uniquely designed and a good choice for vacation

We have been to beautiful Maia already for the 4th time. It’s truly a special resort, only 30 villas, tranquil and intimate paired with a warm and familiar atmosphere. We stayed in premium beach villa # 107. Each unit comes with a personal butler. Raphela is always ours, a lovely and highly dedicated person, already working at Maia for a long time. Those category is nestled along the sandy beach of Anse Louis. All categories offer utmost privacy. The hill villas come with spectacular views over one of the two bays. The crescent-shaped Anse Louis is mainly occupied by hotel guests, thus relatively serene and provides good swimming options. At least during our visits (2x March, 1x December, 1x June) the conditions were always decent, not too waivy and little seagrass. The villas are luxurious and cosy in one. I love the walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling windows and nice view into the vegetation, along with a very good water pressure and easy to handle fitting. Great bath amenities from Hèrmes in regular sizes, no mini editions. Diverse lounging and chilling options are scattered on the outside area of the sun deck and in the private garden. As well during rainy days you can spend time on the large sofa under the big protective roof. All villas feature an oversized sunken outdoor bath tub and a large pool. Just missing this time was a fruit basket. Well, I forgot to ask why it was no more placed in the villa yet assume it would not have been an issue to deliver one on request. Nice gestures are the small gifts which are put in the villa upon arrival and/or departure. Always appreciated, I am very into scented candles . The resort spreads over 30 acres of lush tropical scenery, housing many birds. Always a pleasure to hear them chirping during sunset when they gather on the specific trees. It was the first time we visited Maia after the change from the former extraordinaire Beyond AI package to BB/HB meal plan. That package was superb, also including dining by design on the helipad or beach for example. In my opinion it was a real USP for a luxury resort on the main island of Mahé, a pity that it ceased. Main outlet Tec-Tec is located next to the pool, during the night torches illuminate the location creating a special ambiance. The wine cellar on the upper level has been modified since our stay in June 2023. It now features an intimate and private dining option with one proper table and an exquisite menu along with a sophisticated wine list. We enjoyed a fantastic dinner with pairing wines under the helm of the kind and talented sommelier Adhi. A perfect spot for some romantic pre and post dinner drinks is always the rustic sunset bar next to the ocean. Food is on a very high level, we enjoyed all of our meals. Surely not to miss is the famous coconut ceviche. Even if there are “only” 2 outlets (well, it’s also only 30 villas), there is a wide selection of different options to choose from and the menu will not get boring even on a longer stay. A

It was perfect: the view, the villa, the service... It's heaven on earth. It was my birthday, the cake was a nice gesture also. Special thanks to Arun !

The best private luxury experience you will have - this is what I can sum up this experience as, from the time we entered the property we had a private arrival with the resort manager welcoming us we were taken to our private villa by the buggy and then you understand the scale of the place which is edged on the hill. Once you enter into your private villa you have a dedicated butler for you who takes care of all your needs, it had private pool, beach beds, private outdoor dinning area and a jacuzzi. They had decorated the bed for my wife's and child's bday celebration and given us a Champaign also some snacks. The amenities were all hermis branded. We had a candle light dinner and the atmosphere was set by our butler and he make the place as romantic as possible. Even the breakfast was arranged in our villa which was top notch and also we had a welcome massage as well which was complementary In overall it was a once in a life time , never to forget experience

The atmosphere in this hotel even from the entrance and staff attendance in all places was unforgettable and unbelievable! Moreover, our butler Wasim provided in our villa extraordinary services with passionate contribution and welcome

We had a fabulous time at Anantara Maia and despite all the staff being friendly and attentive to our every need, our butler Ningsih went out of her way to ensure we had a really special time in the Seychelles. She catered to all our requirements (which were a lot) and more. Wish we could take her home to London with us! We loved the small boutique feel of the hotel (only 30 villas) and everyone seemed to know us and everything we needed. The one slight downside was the villas were slightly dated and there was only one restaurant (although they would try and accommodate all food requests)

Stunning ocean view, friendly staff, clean villa, great food, best butler service, everything is perfect. We’d like to thank Theo, our butler, who arranged a one day trip to La Digue and Praslin island, making our vacation even more wonderful.

We stayed in a Premier Ocean View Villa for a week. Very peaceful. Great view. A 10 min steep walk to the beach and restaurant or call for a golf cart. Pack binoculars to watch the fruit bats. Our butler, Sisca, was efficient without being intrusive - exactly what we like. A big shout out to the restaurant and pool staff who were always smiling. The extensive menu covered many cuisines with something for everyone. The ‘butter chicken’ cooked by their Indian chef is a must - I even persuaded the chef to give me the recipe. Choose half board, if it is an option, due to ‘island prices ‘. Long sandy beach. Kayaking and wave boards too. Resident coral conservation lady offering snorkeling trips. Pool area was quiet as most people use their own pool in the villa. Hire a car for 2 days if you have time - you will receive a warm welcome everywhere. The staff make this hotel a success. Thank you also to Gabriel who contacted his colleague in Anantara Qasr al Sarab hotel for the second part of our trip. (They also looked after us well !) We had a wonderful relaxing holiday. Mr and Mrs Forest.

It is hard to describe in words how amazing this place is! Wherever you look, it is like a filter for the eyes. I was like wow, wow, wow throughout my whole stay - I am the type of person that doesn’t normally go back to same places as I want to see it all out there, but here I am coming again as I don’t think it can get any better. There is no typical reception for check-in/out - each guest/villa is being assigned a gem that takes care of you ONLY during the whole stay. Anything you have in mind, they are so professional in a good way, and with a YES mentality regardless. Our gem, Ravi, he is such an asset to the team - we went above and beyond his job title, and for a couple of days made us feel like only kings and queens get to be treated. Always grateful for meeting such souls on this Earth, they are very rare to find nowadays. I left a bit of my heart to this place and I can only live with the memory and hope to be there again in the future!
