About Anantara Maia Seychelles
- Thirty villas designed by Bill Bensley, scattered over 30 private acres of the Anse Louis peninsula on the west coast of Mahé, built into the granite boulders and the hillside over a remote beach.
- Holds the Seychelles Sustainable Tourism Label since 2022 and the UNESCO Travel Sustainability Pledge. A nightly fee funds the marine conservation and school programmes of its partner Wise Oceans, and the team cleans the beach every quarter.
- One of the first hotels in Seychelles to bottle its own water on site. All buggies are zero-emission, and every dish is cooked to order to cut food waste.

More About the Stay
The villas are beautifully designed, spacious and impeccably kept, set into a green hillside above the bay, each with its own pool and view. Guests describe the resort's beach as magnificent and private-feeling, and the setting as extraordinarily peaceful, with only birds, waves and nature to be heard. The food is excellent and varied, and there is a spa and the calm that comes with a resort built into a hidden corner of the coast.
Service is a constant in the reviews, warm, discreet and highly personal, with villa hosts who go far beyond the expected, and guests regularly name the person who made their stay. For families and couples celebrating something special, it reads as one of those rare places that lives up to very high expectations.
Anse Louis is on the south-west coast of Mahé, a green, secluded part of the island about thirty minutes from the airport and Victoria. The coast here is calm and beautiful, close to some of the island's finest beaches, Anse Soleil, Petite Anse and Anse Intendance among them. For a fully private, all-villa luxury resort with a magnificent beach and service to match, Anantara Maia is one of the island's best and one we happily recommend.

Our stay at Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, every aspect of the experience exceeded our expectations. The villa was absolutely stunning, beautifully designed, spacious, impeccably maintained, and offering breathtaking views that made every moment feel specia
Our stay at Anantara Maia was even better than we expected, and we already had very high expectations. The hotel itself is gorgeous. The villas are comfortable, spacious, and everything works perfectly. The food is excellent and varied; even during a longer stay, you probably would not have the chance to try everything
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our stay was truly exceptional, and while the villa itself was beautiful, the real reason this became one of the best holidays our family has ever experienced was Mr. Nady. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, he consistently went above and beyond to make every detail perfect. Nothing was ever too
Our stay at Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas was truly an unforgettable experience. The location on Mahé Island is absolutely breathtaking, incredibly beautiful and only about 30 minutes from the airport. It is a place where the only sounds you hear are birds, waves, and nature itself. No noise, no distractions, just

The Area
Anse Louis is a quiet, sheltered bay on the south-west coast of Mahé, one of the greener and more secluded parts of the main island, about thirty minutes by car from the airport and Victoria. The coast here is calm and beautiful, a run of hidden coves and forested hillsides that holds some of the finest beaches in the country, with Anse Soleil, Petite Anse and Anse Intendance all a short drive away. The water on this side is clear and good for swimming and snorkelling, and the craft studios and small restaurants of the south-west are close by. Mahé is the main island, with the widest choice of beaches and restaurants, and a hire car is the easy way to reach this quieter coast.
