The Seychelles have long been praised as the most perfect, unspoiled islands in all the oceans and Maia is a shining gem in this archipelago of jewels. Situated in the green mountain chain along the bay of Anse Louis in the southwest of Mahé, this beautiful resort is named after the Maia star in The Seven Sisters star constellation.
Expansive villas include a long veranda, a glass-walled garden shower, and a private infinity pool that’s 12 strokes long, as well as a personal butler who wil even ring and artfully arrange shells that you may have picked up while beachcombing.
Designer Bill Bensley’s understated interiors with their cream colors and notched wood floors, leave the drama to nature: At night, sitting in the outdoor bathtub, you can watch the moon illuminating the ink-black sea.
The Maia Spa by La Prairie has been designed as a haven for pure relaxation. Three treatment pavilions with double beds are isolated in the garden and surrounded by tropical nature. The Spa offers a variety of luxurious treatments, such as the well-known Jari Menari (dancing fingers) massage. In the Meditation Pavilion internationally trained yoga professionals teach Qi Gong and Self Shiatsu.
Additionally, the resort also offers active watersports, such as kayaking, snorkelling, canoeing and pedalos. Customised excursions to other islands by boat or helicopter can be organized by the Maia team. Walks along the 500 metre white sandy beach or through the tropical mountain forest gives an insight into the nature of the island.
If you’re looking to renew your body, mind and soul, it’ll be hard to beat the world-class Maia Resort and Spa. Just be prepared to shell out the $3000/night price for this dream travel destination.
$3000 a night! Undoubtedly you get what you pay for; I think the personal butler you can call upon to arrange your seashell collection is a MUST HAVE. Heck, at $3000 a night I probably wouldn’t hesitate to ask him to do my taxes!
This looks like another world class sensation that you simply have to experience to know that very few places can compare. I’m not sure how you continuously unearth these gems – I’ve created a list and the day I win the lottery, I’m visiting each one of these.

Simply gorgeous!
Oh my…just clicking on the website and listening to the soothing music is really effective and totally sold me. I definitely love the white and beige interior design of the rooms, no vibrant colours to distract you. The fact that it’s on an island surrounded by the Indian Ocean really gives it serenity. My goodness…I wish I could come up with the money to afford $3000/night for the rest of my life.
Anyone remember the InterContinental Resort at BoraBora?? THAT is still my preferred choice over the Maia resort, and the Maia is DOUBLE the price at $3000/night stay. If I just justed the Maia Resort from the first picture, I’d think it’d be nice to stay, but when I saw the other photos, it wasn’t as fantastic as I thought it would be.
