Having experienced other Anantara properties around the world, our expectations were high, and once again, Anantara did not disappoint! Maia is truly a special place, offering an exceptional combination of beautiful surroundings, privacy and above all, genuinely personalised hospitality. Our villa was absolutely stunning: spacious, beautifully set up, with an amazing private swimming pool and breathtaking ocean views. We particularly loved the thoughtful little gifts and surprises from the team every day, which made us feel genuinely looked after. The spa was fantastic, with an excellent team. Special thanks to Lin for making our spa experience so enjoyable. The yoga classes were another highlight, held in a magical jungle setting with birds singing all around us. An unforgettable way to start the day! What really sets Maia apart is the level of personalisation. The team seems capable of making almost anything happen. Whether arranging a private table in a beautiful, unexpected location or surprising you with something special, they always find a way to make your wishes come true. The Creole BBQ night was simply epic! We had so much fun, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our stay. We had the chance to meet wonderful local people and even dance with them! A huge thank you to our wonderful villa hosts, Dian and Ibrahim, who were always attentive, kind and incredibly helpful, taking care of everything and making sure we wanted for nothing. Special recognition also goes to Alister, our lovely buggy driver, who made exploring the property such a pleasure. He showed us the resident giant tortoises, cinnamon trees and spectacular views from the helipad, while sharing interesting insights about local life and the people of Seychelles. He was incredibly sweet, knowledgeable and professional. And thank you to Lynnsha for her lovely service, which made our dining experiences even more enjoyable. A special mention and thank you to General Manager Nissanka, who personally welcomed us on arrival and took the time to meet us again before departure. These thoughtful gestures speak volumes about the hotel’s approach to hospitality and attention to its guests. There are just a couple of small areas where improvement would make the experience even better. Some villa features, particularly the sliding wardrobe doors and the entrance door, felt a little outdated and could benefit from renovation or maintenance. I would also have loved to see a greater choice of weights in the gym. During our stay, the sea was occasionally quite wavy and underwater visibility wasn’t ideal for snorkelling, possibly due to changing weather conditions. However, there are beautiful beaches just 15–20 minutes away. Dian kindly arranged everything for us, including towels, snorkelling equipment and an experienced taxi driver. We had a wonderful time exploring the nearby beaches. All in all, Maia is a place we will remember for its beauty, its atmosphere and most importantly, its people! It is the little details, the unexpected surprises and the genuine desire of the team to make every moment special that make this resort stand out. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made our stay so memorable. We left with beautiful memories and would happily return. Another wonderful Anantara experience!

We had an excellent stay for 5 Days at the Maia resort with Thushantha Perera as our butler, who made a significant difference. He took care of our needs with an incredible speed, terrific attitude, and helped me coordinate a big birthday surprise for my wife. Jorge Uribe

At Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas, you feel like the main guest. In November 2025, we spent 12 unforgettable days here. The key factor for the perfect vacation was the personal butler Theo. He didn't just fulfill requests, he anticipated desires: breakfasts and dinners in the room were organized flawlessly, and his sensitivity and responsiveness made the stay feel like home. I especially want to note the approach of the restaurants: they were happy to prepare dishes outside the menu for us—this is rare and a sign of true hospitality. All dishes were distinguished by a refined taste and impeccable presentation. Meeting Mike in the pool area was a pleasant addition to the vacation: his openness and ability to create a festive atmosphere made every day brighter. This is not the first time we've stayed at Anantara hotels—and every time we are convinced that the level of service here is consistently high. We look forward to seeing you again: our next visit is scheduled for November 4, 2026!
