Maia perches on a dramatic hillside on the southwest coast of Mahé. It’s quite a setting. But Maia is quite a place. It’s a honeymooner’s paradise: small and intimate, with the kind of attentive service you only get in a boutique hotel.
The thatched villas all have private infinity pools, sunken outdoor double baths and uninterrupted sea views. Speaking of the sea, make sure you pack your snorkel. There’s a reef right in front of Maia that teems with brightly coloured sea life – the kind you usually only see in aquariums.
