Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas

Our stay here was unforgettable, not just because the resort is beautiful but because of the extraordinary people who work here. Badsha was genuinely exceptional. He did everything without us even asking. He brought me different fruits to try, and when I mentioned starfruit casually, he went and picked some fresh on his own, then cut them for me so I could enjoy them properly. He was always perfectly on time, as if he memorized our entire schedule, and he arranged everything around what we needed before we even realized we needed it. He prepared a bath for us, kept everything spotless at all times, brought us lemongrass, and even arranged a complimentary jet lag massage. His kindness, attention to detail, and initiative made our stay feel incredibly personal and luxurious. Mike and Mervin were absolutely adorable. They made us bracelets and necklaces, collected shells for us, and Mervin also took us snorkeling and taught us how to surf. Their warmth and enthusiasm added so much joy to our trip. Every staff member we met was genuinely warm, but I have to highlight Louisella, who took such amazing care of us, and Chef Hans, whose attention to detail was remarkable. He prepared every meal exactly the way we liked it and made sure everything was perfect. Claire was also incredibly sweet. She constantly checked on us and genuinely wanted to make sure every detail of our stay was perfect. And Rihanna was wonderfully friendly. She even danced with us along with the other waiters, creating some of our happiest memories here. I truly loved my stay, not only because of the breathtaking scenery but because the staff made it feel like home. Their kindness, dedication, and genuine care made our experience exceptional, and they truly deserve recognition for the amazing work they do.

My husband and I stayed at Anantara Maia Seychelles for our honeymoon, and after traveling to some of the most incredible places around the world, we didn’t think anywhere could top those experiences until now… this resort surpassed every expectation we had!! From the moment we arrived everything was perfection - the villa was immaculate and kept spotless with a room refresh at least twice a day, which made our stay extremely luxurious. The amenities were exceptional and truly elevated the entire experience. What really blew us away was the staff at the resort! Every single staff member we encountered was warm, welcoming and genuinely caring. It made the biggest difference and we felt it everywhere we went. A very special shoutout to our Villa Host, Baadshah, who went above and beyond every single day and night. He made our stay unforgettable with his kindness, attention to detail, and sincere desire to make sure we had the best experience possible. He is truly one of the kindest people we have ever met. We also want to mention Head Chef Hans, who personally greets guests daily, checks in about the food and makes you feel right at home. Not only is he incredibly warm, but his food is absolutely phenomenal, the best we have ever had anywhere in the world. Every meal was amazing. From the service, to the food, to the villas, to the breathtaking surroundings, we could not fault a single thing. We were honestly left speechless at how perfect everything was. We will 1000% be returning and will recommend Anantara Seychelles to evreryone. This resort made our honeymoon magical, and we are so grateful for the memories we will carry with us forever.

Our trip to Seychelles was unforgettable, and this hotel played a huge part in making it truly special. From the moment we stepped in, the staff made us feel welcomed, valued, and genuinely cared for. Jafar, who looked after our villa, was exceptional in every way. His thoughtful gestures and warm personality made all the difference. He created a lovely movie night setup, surprised us with warm drinks at just the right moments, and arranged beautifully romantic touches that made our anniversary feel incredibly meaningful. He even took the time to set up mosquito repellent for us every morning and evening something so simple, yet done with so much attention. His dedication really stood out, and we couldn’t be more appreciative. The hotel team as a whole was equally attentive. When they saw we were dealing with mosquitoes, they surprised us with a beautifully scented candle to help keep them away a small but incredibly thoughtful gesture that showed how observant and caring they are. Rihanna and Rolin made every dining experience a joy. Their kindness, friendliness, and warm energy made us feel like we were eating with people who truly cared about our comfort and happiness. Each meal felt personal and filled with heart. A big thank you! as well to Dushan for taking such good care of our dietary needs. Everything at the bar was prepared with such attention to detail that we could relax and enjoy every drink without worry. We’re also grateful to Coco and Chaz for an amazing snorkeling outing. As beginners, we were a little nervous, but their guidance, patience, and reassuring nature turned it into an unforgettable experience. They helped us feel safe while showing us the stunning underwater world. The property itself is beautiful and peaceful, but what truly made our stay remarkable was the people. Jafar, Rihanna, Rolin, Dushan, Coco, Chaz, and the rest of the team made our anniversary celebration so much more meaningful than we ever expected. An incredible stay filled with warmth, kindness, and memories we’ll hold onto forever. We recommend this place without hesitation.

Having travelled extensively, the Anatara Maia has become one of my favourite hotels I have stayed at. The level of service is really exceptional. We had a very difficult arrival, with flight times to Mahe being changed to different days, and Gabrielle and the team just handled everything so smoothly for us, changing our dates, special things we had arranged such as private dining, floating breakfasts, spa baths, and nothing was a problem. The level of privacy at the resort is also exceptional. You really do not see any other guests while there, and we highly valued this.

Beautiful villas, first rate service and spectacular views. What took it beyond exceptional is the villa host service. Our host (Ari) transformed our experience to new heights, constantly delighting by anticipating our needs and finding new ways to surprise us. Truly exceptional.
