A sanctuary of absolute luxury in Mahé

Located on the island of Mahé, Anantara MAIA Seychelles Villas is, without a doubt, the most luxurious and exclusive refuge in the entire archipelago.
Its spacious and bright villas with private pools have been designed as true spaces for rest and well-being. The exquisitely curated decoration combines Balinese serenity with the essence of the Seychelles and subtle African notes. An authentic luxury, never ostentatious, that invites total disconnection.

Privacy here is sacred. The attentive and discreet service anticipates each of your wishes. From the villas located on the hillside, the views of the ocean are simply breathtaking.

In this natural paradise, the connection with the environment is so profound that time seems to stand still. Many travelers discover that their villa becomes the true destination: a place to live with total freedom, thanks to the personalized attention of their butler. He will take care of everything: preparing an aromatic bath at sunset, organizing a romantic dinner by the pool, or bringing a Balinese therapist for a tailor-made treatment.

MAIA is much more than a hotel: it is a destination in itself. An incomparable place to reconnect with oneself and with those one loves.
Its philosophy perfectly sums it up: “Rediscover yourself”.

An experience that captivates from the first moment… and leaves an indelible mark.

The Hotel

The hotel has 30 villas spread over a 12-hectare property:

  • 13 Ocean View Pool Villas

  • 8 Premier Ocean View Pool Villas

  • 9 Premier Beach Pool Villas

Architecture and decoration of the villas
Inspired by Balinese architecture and enhanced with subtle Seychellois and African touches, each villa is an oasis of privacy and harmony. After crossing its majestic doors, you enter a private garden that welcomes you with an atmosphere of absolute serenity.

A spacious pavilion with a thatched roof houses an outdoor lounge, accompanied by a bar and a king-size day bed overlooking the infinity pool. In front of this deep blue pool, a large exotic wood terrace with sun loungers invites you to relax. The living room, completely open to the outside, merges with the vegetation, the sea… and that incomparable view.

An imposing bed occupies the center of the room, facing the ocean. From the bedroom, a corridor next to the pool leads to the bathroom. The granite sinks follow the latest trends, and the exclusively designed faucets evoke the shapes of the iconic coco de mer, a symbol of the Seychelles.

Your personal butler will always be available to take care of every detail: preparing an aromatic bath under the stars in the outdoor bathtub, organizing a gourmet dinner in the villa, booking a treatment at the spa, or planning an unforgettable excursion. Available 24 hours a day, their sole mission is to anticipate all your wishes.

No two islands are alike, and each island has its own hidden gem, must-see attractions, beautiful beaches, and unique experiences. The Seychelles, an archipelago of 115 wild islands, have an incomparable natural charm and offer endless places to visit. The first time I visited the Seychelles Islands, I knew that, like a first love, I would never forget them, and just like that, I return repeatedly thanks to the proximity of my home, Madagascar. What is so special about this archipelago? Thousands of adjectives could answer this question: beaches with turquoise waters, white sands, colorful fish, huge palm trees, luxurious accommodations where we swear eternal love... indeed it is, but what struck me most about these islands is their ability to make us forget the rest of the world and mortals. Worries, stress or anxiety disappear from the moment you set foot on the islands and the magic operates.  

WHAT TO VISIT IN SEYCHELLES

  Mahé, La Digue and Praslín These are the three islands with the most hotel infrastructure in the archipelago, although there are also small private-hotel islands of international luxury chains. The largest and most lively is Mahé, where the capital Victoria and the paradisiacal beaches of Anse Intendance or Anse Major are located. It is also the one that receives all international flights arriving in the country. The second largest is the island of Praslin, undoubtedly the one with the most natural attractions such as the Vallée de Mai Natural Park, famous for the “Coco de mer”, the largest seed on the planet. It is also renowned for housing the beaches of Anse Lazio and Anse Georgette, which are ranked among the most beautiful on the planet. And finally, a small treasure, La Digue the most paradisiacal island of the three. Beaches such as Anse Cocos, Anse Severe, Petite Anse and of course I don't forget Anse Source d'Argent, undoubtedly the most famous in Seychelles and which was named the most beautiful beach on the planet in 2020. It is also famous for its rich seabed where you can snorkel or dive. Beau Ballon Beach in Mahé It is one of the largest and most popular beaches in Mahé that has not lost an iota of its charm. It is the place with the most hotel infrastructure and tourist services on the island. It is easy to find good restaurants where you can enjoy good Creole, Indian or Italian cuisine. Vallée de Mai in Praslin Home to the “Coco de mer” (Lodoicea Maldivica), the largest seed in the world, the Vallée de Mai Reserve was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and extends over 19 hectares. Upon payment of an entrance fee, we will find properly signposted trails that run between palm trees and numerous endemic plants. Anse Lazio Beach in Praslin It must be said that in the Seychelles, the competition is tough when it comes to beaches, but this one is considered the second best in the archipelago. Lush vegetation that flows into the sea, large granite rocks with ocher tones, white sands, and turquoise waters: one of the best postcards of the Seychelles. Visit some of the deserted islands 115 islands form the Seychelles archipelago, and although it is common to visit Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue, there are other small uninhabited islands such as the island of Curieuse, north of Praslin, famous for being one of only two places where the "coco de mer" grows (the other is Praslin in the Vallée de Mai). The tiny island of Saint Pierre is an idyllic deserted island for snorkeling. Also worth a visit is the island of Cousine, a refuge for the Aldabra giant land tortoise, one of the emblems of the archipelago. This conservation center currently houses 78 giant tortoises. Diving in the Seychelles It is said that these islands are paradise on earth, and I add that it is also paradise under the sea. Any time is good for diving in the Seychelles, although the months of April, May, October, and November are especially recommended thanks to the good visibility. Sea turtles, sharks, rays, puffer fish... as well as intense corals are easily visible. Those who do not dive can still enjoy the magnificent seabed by snorkeling in the Sainte Anne Marine Park, or the Coco Island or in practically any place in the archipelago. Trekking to Anse Major beach One of the mountain trails that is worth exploring leads to the remote beach of Anse Major, undoubtedly the best beach in Mahé. The route is spectacular, alternating open spaces with others of dense humid forest totally covered by vegetation and immense blocks of granite. Hiking in Morne Seychelles National Park The Morne is the highest peak in the archipelago with an altitude of 905 meters. We can ascend by three different routes, the Trois Frères is quite simple and you get fabulous views from the maximum point (699 meters). The Morne Blanc of little difficulty although in continuous ascent offers scandalous views. These routes can be covered in approximately 2 hours. For those who wish to reach the peak (905 meters) it is necessary to foresee about 5 hours and a raincoat in case the rain surprises us. Anse Source d’Argent, the most beautiful beach in the world. This is how it was cataloged in 2020 and it does not surprise us. To access it you have to pay admission to the Union State coconut and vanilla plantation that will lead us directly to the beach. A picture that will remain in our memory throughout our lives.

A phenomenal trip
Just a few notes to thank you for your hard work and patience. It was a phenomenal trip, and I'm already itching to go back. I was delighted with the destination, the selection of activities, and the organization. Nomad Photo Expeditions Photography Group.
Harry Fisch ESSENCES OF THE SOUTH
An Extraordinary Journey
I highly recommend it—the service is direct, clear, and friendly. Sylvia, Jaume, and Sergi are lovely. Small, well-organized groups. Santa, our guide, is the best. And Madagascar—with its lemurs, its baobabs, its people, and its landscapes—stole my heart; I don't know which one to choose. A dream come true!! We're really looking forward to going back and exploring more parts of the island. And we'll definitely be doing it with Indigo Be!!!
Montserrat Ros DISCOVER MADAGASCAR
Impeccable organization
Everything was excellent! I highly recommend both the country—with its contrasting landscapes and people—and the travel agency, which was impeccably organized! Thanks to Sylvia and Jaume for organizing everything, and of course to Luca and Mami for showing us around the whole country!
Glòria Ramon ESSENCES OF THE SOUTH

Once again, to the entire team: after 25 years of traveling and having explored much of Africa, you can feel flattered because this is the first time we’ve met such a professional group of people who love their work and put so much passion into showcasing and sharing their country. Thank you, Sylvia, for your attention and for being there when we need you. Of course, we’ll see you on your next adventure with Reunionesa.
Clara Montes REMOTE RIVER EXPEDITION

A flawlessly organized company with values I share, and a highly professional team that is extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to the travelers. They respect the country, its people, and nature, and through their guidance, they make us fall in love with Madagascar.

The Baobab Expedition: Tough but Intense
Back home and trying to take in everything we’ve learned. Thank you, Silvia, for joining us on this fantastic trip—it’s been a privilege to have you as our guide. As you saw, the group hit it off right from the first day, and the route was amazing. We highly recommend the Baobab Expedition to all travelers—it’s tough but rewarding.

A Wonderful Trip Through Madagascar
These excellent professionals helped us have a wonderful trip through Madagascar. Thank you so much, Sylvia, Jaume, Sergi, Santa! (a great local guide), and the entire staff. We’ll definitely be back.
Norberto Rosseti ESSENCES OF THE SOUTH
You can really tell how much Indigo Be cares about the country
Lupe Bote BAOBAB EXPEDITION
An authentic experience
I chose the "Baobab Expedition" itinerary with Indigo Be, and it was a truly unforgettable experience... Indigo Be is a travel agency run by young professionals who love Madagascar and know it inside and out, and who share their passion and enthusiasm for the country with travelers. Our guide, Jaume, has ensured that everything ran smoothly day after day, thanks to his efficiency and kindness. Thanks to the entire team of professionals at Indigo Be, and a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Jaume "for a job well done." A big hug!!!!!
Elisabeth Segui BAOBAB EXPEDITION
A unique, surprising, and unforgettable island
Madagascar—it sounds like a faraway place, an animated movie, and impossible animals. It’s all that, and also a little-visited island nation that exudes African spirit, softened by Asian influences. Canoe down a river through jungle canyons and sleep on its beaches, safe from crocodiles; venture deep into the jungle and listen to the sounds of its most distinctive animals, the lemurs; dive among tropical fish with the sound of humpback whales in the background; strolling at sunset along an avenue lined with giant baobabs; discovering breathtaking rock formations shaped like thousands of needles; savoring seafood seasoned with a touch of French influence; or simply strolling along a beach, waiting for the fishermen to return. All of that is Madagascar. Madagascar promises a break from it all, adventure, and exoticism... and with Indigo Be, you can have it all! Thank you for being such wonderful hosts on this unique, amazing, and unforgettable island.
Antonia Rubio BAOBAB EXPEDITION
Experiences that will stay with me for the rest of my life
Amid shadowy jungles, deep rocky canyons, and red-clay moors, I encountered sights and experiences that will stay with me for the rest of my life. And what better way to explore them than with the help of local experts like Indigo Be.
