Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas

Guest Services are very hard to compete with by other resorts due to how efficient and focused they are on you as a guest, villa Host (Nicksy) was a legend with solving what we need efficiently and in the fastest way possible.

We had an amazing stay at an amazing place. Everywhere on the resort you have beautiful vistas. The food at breakfast, lunch & dinner (at the restaurant or in your villa) is excellent. And the staff is always very friendly and helpful. A special shout-out to Adeel who does an abve and beyond job!

The hotel has a amazing view and great service verity of foods and drinks and great personal service as well and really clean place

An unforgettable paradise! My stay at Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas was beyond exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm hospitality and impeccable service. The villa was breathtaking – spacious, luxurious, and offering stunning ocean views with a private infinity pool that felt like a dream.

What a disappointment - rather, a mess. Nowhere near the expectactions that brand and price tag carry. A souless place for new money that wish to feel spoiled by having a subvservient butler that doesnt anything that a regular staff at a hotel would not do for you. It is not exactly a hotel. These are villas that are serviced. The facilities are almost non-existent: one restaurant to have all the meals of the day (or order to your villa) + a spa. No atmosphere at all, book only if you wish to be isolated but there are better places for sure. The hotel offers nothing but the stay at the villa and access to pool: you are a hostage at your hotel of suggested activities to keep you busy, all at speculative prices. Your villa pool is cold. The general pool is tiny and water is cold as well. Beach of the hotel is 5 meters long, they beach shown in pictures is a lateral beach. In one evening, villa had no hot water. The tap lever fell. Food quality is ok or sub-par depending on what you order. Coming from Constance Lemuria Praslin, you almost cry after landing here. Service is confused. Breakfast is a la carte, but they place everything on the table at the same time after 20 minutes of wait. Obviously, some of your requests are cold by then. In one breakfast, they managed to bring all the juices to the table after we had eaten (except for an expresso coffe, brought mid-meal...!) In one dinner, starters and mains were all brought to the table at the same time (we were not near the closing time of the restaurant, even if that could be argued as a justification). There was no sommelier to discuss the wine - and this is a suppsedly award winner resort on wine matters per Wine Spectator. (So is Constance Lemuria in Praslin, where more than one sommelier would be ready to lively talk about and suggest wines on an always pleasant chat). Management should hop on a flight and have a 3 day stay at Constance Lemuria, Praslin, to understand how to serve diverse guests with quality. Again, prices are speculative. We rented a car to find a contract of a previous guest in the glove box that had been charged less 25eur per day. After complaining, obviously they corrected the price. It is not about the money: that's the price of a glass of wine here. It's the feeling that you are being constantly squeezed for speculative prices. Note: Seychelles are expensive, but this is on another level. Again, new-money prices. Top it up, the breakfast for departure. Firstly, we got an unprompted wake up call at 4am (we would be waking up at 4h30m) confirming if we wanted breakfast (we had a butler to arrange this, supposedly, which he did, supposedly, the evening before). We made our requests the evening before as requested and we receive a disproportionate amount of food - example being one pineapple for two pax. While generosity is to be commended, this is just bad service. They sent us a jar of juice with no glasses to drink from. Yoghurts with no spoons. Boiled eggs that were not fully boiled... A total trainwreck. The spa is ok - better be, at 200eur+ per 60min massage. It must be noted that we do not attribute this to the staff. The staff is kind and caring and do their best. Mike at the pool is a lively character, Vishnu (butler) would do anything we asked and was really trying to make things work for us. The problem here is the concept and the management - things are not working well. For the price tag and advertised service, this is simply a no-pass. Spend your money elsewhere.
