XO Private - The Luxury Travel Collection
The finest online directory for the discerning traveller

The all-villa resort Maia Luxury Resort & Spa brings a whole new meaning to the words relax and rejuvenate. Guests come to Maia to reenergise. The resort is set on its own peninsula on the southwest coast of Mahé island in the Seychelles.

Each of its 30 spacious villas has uninterrupted ocean views and is surrounded by beautiful, scented gardens. The villas embrace indoor outdoor living, with 25 foot infinity pools, glass-walled showers, outdoor sunken double bathtubs and adjacent thatched gazebos with a daybed, dining and bar area. Service lies at the core of Maia’s philosophy and each guest is given a dedicated butler for the duration of their stay.

The cuisine at Maia, in keeping with the philosophy of the resort, is designed to stimulate the senses under the careful eye of a team of world-class chefs. Maia’s spa employs a team of highly-trained therapists who study the ‘philosophy of touch’ for three months before they learn how to deliver Maia’s signature massages and La Prairie treatments.
