Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas (Mahe, Seychelles) Hotel Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"This is the sort of location that lends itself to broad rhetorical flourishes. It’s tempting to say that a setting like this one, on a rocky hillside above the sheltered Anse Louis, on the west side of Mahé island, renders architects and designers just about redundant. Of course it’s not quite literally true that we would happily sleep in a tent, or a trailer, or a cardboard box, to be faced with such a view. And anyway it’s academic, because Maia Luxury Resort, as it actually exists, is a subtle masterwork by Bill Bensley, the man who’s responsible for quite a lot of what’s currently viewed as the prevailing Southeast Asian and Indian Ocean luxury villa style." - Tablet Hotels
