Indian Ocean/Africa - Seychelles

Rediscover you … and be inspired. Awaken your senses …in the most luxurious place on earth, a place created with the sole purpose of bringing you perfect enjoyment, ultimate relaxation and a deep and lasting peace. This place is called Maia. Maia is more than a sanctuary, more than an escape and much, much more than a hotel. Maia is a pure, tranquil refuge from the cares of the world. It is a place where the soul is stilled and the spirit is renewed. A place where every need is anticipated and every desire fulfilled. A place where both body and mind are indulged and inspired. The Seychelles have long been praised as the most perfect, unspoiled islands in all the oceans. Maia is a shining gem in this archipelago of jewels. On the lush green island of Mahé is a beach called Anse Louis – a secluded, untouched beach with transparent turquoise sea and soft, white sand. Here you will find Maia. And at Maia you will find yourself.

Maia is infused with romance and sensuality. Here couples find the heart of their relationship restored. With your every wish granted before you ask, all you need to do is enjoy each other.

Maia will be opening in June 2006. Please contact us for rates at info@luxurytropicalislands.com
