Overall good, except the food was groundlessly expensive,

Wonderful view from our hill top villa. Small and exclusive resort. High price level as a result. One of the most beautiful beaches in Seychelles. Service oriented staff, helping us very much to extend our stay during the UAE airspace shut down. Things like that matters when you really need help.

It was more than perfect. Adeel, our Villa host made it extra special, always taking care of our needs, sometimes even proactively. Adeel, made us feel at home while the other staffs made us feel welcome during the entirety of our stay. Given a choice, we would like to revisit the place, keeping everything intact. Thanks for everything. Can't appreciate enough.

Total perfection from the first minute until the last. What elevated the experience beyond expectation was our villa host (Ari). He was exceptional: he not only looked after every detail of our stay but constantly surprised us with special touches. He genuinely made the trip unforgettable.

Incrível! Nosso host Ibrokhim foi maravilhoso do começo ao fim. Agradecemos também a simpatia da Natisha no restaurante. O snorkeling foi fantástico com o Melving. Enfim tudo perfeito!

Las villas son amplias, limpias y lujosas, el restaurante ofrece una carta variada y de calidad. Lo mejor es el servicio personalizado, nuestra "guest relations" Dian, ha contribuido a que esta experiencia fuese inolvidable.

Perfect Stay

Outstanding resort. The villas are so spacious and have magnificent views, but what makes Maia special is the villa hosts. We had the pleasure of Hanane taking care of us and she went above and beyond to make us happy, making a romantic bath and providing a special candlelit meal in the jungle for us on our last night. The staff are all wonderful and treat you like royalty.

Our experience at the Anantara Seychelles was amazing. The service was impeccable—a massive thank you to our villa host, Samantha.

paradise. undisputed. from beginning to end, an experience without any comparison to any other place I have ever been. to come back.

Fantastic staff

Amazing stay here - the whole all inclusive experience was excellent and our personal butler was fantastic and made us feel so special! We could eat anywhere and at anytime so we had a private beach dinner one night and in our own villa another night. It was so private and exclusive - perfect for honeymoon!

Our stay was phenomenal, we are planning another trip very soon. The service kn our

The food and service at Maia is excellent and every villa has a personal butler. The rooms are in good shape with quiet and effective air conditioning, even if one or two items are getting close to needing a refurb. Food is excellent throughout and a simple curry brings beautifully tender chicken and staff are always happy to provide whatever you want whenever you want it. It was very useful to have a butler with our 18 month old baby. We could order whatever food we wanted for her at any time we chose and our butler would help set up the high chair and clean the mess afterwards. Our room had a good quality crib, changing mat and baby toiletries. Inclusive Scuba diving for qualified divers was a bonus, which takes place down the road at Dive Resort Seychelles. However, whilst I'm sure many people receive a 5 out or 5 experience, I can only give a rating of 4 because of some letdowns from the back office team: Email contact in advance was painfully slow, and I often didn't receive a reply at all. The Guest Relations team also created an unnecessary argument. We requested our airport transfer for 7.15am but were advised to move the time to 7am. We later received a message that Guest Relations were refusing this time, that they were making us go at 6.45am, 3 hours before our flight, and that if we wanted any different then we would have to argue it out with them. This was a very odd and unnecessary argument that made our final day unnecessarily stressful.

We have stayed at several nice properties in our travels and this is by far one of the best. Staff and amenities are miles better than the four seasons where you are treated as just another guest. At the Maia, the staff go out of their way to get to know you, recommend things to do and cater to your every need. With 30 villas you get tailored attention and never feel like a number or a transaction. Food is outstanding!

Best service ever. Our private butler was extraordinary. Fish and food overall wonderful. Wine selection the only weak spot. Don’t drink the aged French white Bordeaux wines. Stick to Southern Hemisphere Australian, South Africa and Etc.

Maia is an outstanding resort! We arrived and were taken directly to our villa by golf cart for check in. The staff receiving us were very nice and included the butler for our villa, Gabriel. Maia villa's include a butler who takes care of most aspects of your stay. Our butler, Gabriel was outstanding! We have stayed at our resorts that include butlers, but Gabriel was top notch! The villa (209) was very nice, private and very comfortable. We choose to have dinner in our villa dining area most nights as the view was great and we were looking for a more private experience while celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. Gabriel took care of our meals and was there when we needed him, but was off in the distance or tending to the room for night turn down. The food was outstanding, lots of variety to chose from. Gabriel arranged a special dinner (not on the menu) which was red snapper baked in a salt crust, it was the best tasting fish and a lovely dinner. We did eat in the restaurant for most breakfasts and one dinner. It is nice as well with view of the ocean and pool area. They do play music and while a small resort you can find others if you want to socialize. Gabriel also helped us arrange tours, we did the helicopter tour to Praslin & LaDigue, which was a great once in a lifetime experience. Gabriel was always there to see us off and there when we returned. And he made us special drinks each day. Maia lives up to their whatever, whenever, wherever motto!

Expensive yes - but worth every cent. Best resort ever

If you are looking to get away and have anything you want at your fingertips than this is the hotel for you. In a truly stunning location, this is a five star hotel.

Took to much money from my credit card but gave us a free trip on a private boat. Staff are very polite, but nothing to do and very very limited entertainment. Food was ok, but as I am extremely well travelled I would rate this hotel as a 3 to 4 star but not a five.
