One of the most exclusive addresses in the Seychelles, a hillside of private pool villas above Anse Louis on the west coast of Mahé, with legendary service and total seclusion.
Plush getaway featuring villas with ocean views, infinity pools, gazebo dining & butler service.
Barefoot luxury above Anse Louis
Maia, now run by Anantara, is the resort other resorts measure themselves against. Set on a lush hillside tumbling down to the quiet west-coast beach of Anse Louis, it is an all-villa retreat built for privacy, romance and pure indulgence. Just a few dozen villas are scattered through the greenery, each with its own infinity pool, ocean view and a level of space and seclusion that feels a world away from anywhere.
The style is barefoot luxury rather than glitz, natural materials, open living spaces and gardens that spill toward the sea. It has long been a byword for the very top tier of Seychelles hospitality, and a favourite for honeymoons and special escapes.
Service, villas and the spa
What guests remember most is the service. Maia is known for its all-inclusive, no-menu, no-bill approach and its personal villa hosts, the kind of quietly anticipatory care that turns a stay into something unforgettable. Dining is largely whatever you wish, wherever you wish it, and the clifftop spa is one of the most romantic in the islands.
This is a place for couples, honeymooners and anyone seeking absolute privacy and pampering, rather than a lively, family-resort atmosphere. If you are looking for the Seychelles at its most exclusive, Maia is the benchmark.

Book well ahead and come for a special occasion. Maia has only a handful of villas and fills fast in peak season, so plan early, and lean into the all-inclusive villa-host service that makes it one of the great romantic escapes of the islands.
