Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas
Luxurious tropical flowers, verdant gardens and cinnamon trees peppered between thatched private villas give couples a sense of sultry isolation.
MAHÉ, SEYCHELLES
Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas prides itself on its ultra-privacy policy, which is evidenced in the hotel’s design and operation, making it a winning choice for romancing couples. Perched on the peaceful bend on the southwest coast of Mahé, with vanilla sands and a house reef there’s a myriad of moments to share in the most idyllic places in the Seychelles. Renowned for some of the most spectacular sunsets, the southwest coast of the island gives you ample opportunity to sip on a refreshing aperitif with small bites at the Sunset Pool Bar and savour the gorgeous views of the Seychelles’ iconic ocean blues.
Featuring 30 paradisiacal private hideaways, these decadent villas are shrouded in lush forest, offering cinematic views of the bay. Outside of your private villa, you’ll find an open-air dining and living area, mini-kitchen and infinity pool – perfect for soaking up the Seychelles’ splendour in unadulterated privacy. Let’s not forget that each villa comes with its own dedicated host. Of course, there are dozens more working behind the scenes to make your stay the most memorable one, but this exclusive host is your first point of contact for any desires or guidance you may need. So, be sure to WhatsApp your villa host to run a sunset bathtub for you, complete with rose petals and refreshing bubbles. Now, let’s step into the bedroom. Indoors, there’s a beautiful sense of calm, marked by natural colours, thick cream sofas and intricate wooden accents all over. Continue into the bathroom and you’ll be greeted by Hermès amenities, rainfall showers and sunken bathtubs, while bamboo touches and crisp white linens create a luxury island aesthetic.
When you think of Anantara Maia’s Spa, think excellence. The Balinese-style spa is a hit with guests thanks to three fabulous open-air pavilions in the heart of the jungle, where you’ll be gently massaged with exclusive Omorovicza products to the sound of tropical birds and sweeping palms. Therapists hail from Bali and the Seychelles to deliver the best in quality therapies, with the most popular being The Maia Signature Massage. Exclusively designed for the hotel, this massage is perfect after a wedding and long flight to ease muscle tension.
The main open-air restaurant offers a diverse collection of cuisines, including Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Asian, Indian, French and Creole. But we recommend trying the ‘Designer Dining by Anantara’ experience, prepared by your dedicated villa host on a beach, in the garden – basically anywhere you’d like on property. And for the wine connoisseurs, try a tutored tasting in the resort’s award-winning wine cellar with an impressive 300 vintages.
Nestled amidst serene seclusion yet conveniently close to exciting experiences, Anse Louis offers the epitome of tranquillity on its untouched shores. Speckled with palm trees and pearlescent shorelines, Praslin and La Digue make for memorable ventures to local little islands renowned for their pristine beauty and unique charm. To truly appreciate the grandeur or the Seychelles’ stunning beauty, why not take to the skies in a helicopter ride directly from the resort’s private helipad. Or explore the island’s 60 beaches to find your favourite and sink your feet into the sand for a day of sunbathing or snorkelling.
The balance between a tropical hideaway and a modern luxury villa is just right. Imagine the soft flicker of tealights and the sweet scent of frangipani flowers surrounding your private villa pool, setting the stage for romance. And with your villa host just a WhatsApp message away, every whim is catered to, leaving you free to unwind, relax, and make unforgettable memories with your special someone amidst the stunning Seychelles backdrop.
