Island Hopping: Magical Mahé and North Island

Upon arrival at Mahé International Airport, your chauffeur will meet you and transfer you to the stunning Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas. When you gaze out over the lush surroundings from your private pool, you will know you have arrived in paradise.

The resort is situated on a magnificent beach flanked by imposing granite rocks, which are so characteristic of the Seychelles. The lush landscape envelops the resort like a green blanket, offering a warm sense of privacy and tropical idyll. Combine this with the impeccable service for which Anantara Maia is renowned, and you will realize you are in paradise. Thatched-roof pavilions stand out against the landscape and, through the use of natural materials, blend beautifully into the environment. From the expansive terrace with a stunning pool, you will be treated daily to the most beautiful sunsets, accompanied by a gentle sea breeze.

Today, you have a wonderfully relaxing day ahead, during which you can enjoy the amenities of the resort. Perhaps you might want to visit the Anantara Spa, an absolute highlight of the resort. It is a natural oasis, hidden among lush greenery. Treatments are carried out in three open pavilions, accompanied by the soothing sound of water flowing over large granite rocks.

At sunset, you can take a romantic walk along the beach. The powder-soft sand offers a delightful sensation underfoot. The gentle waves of the surf complete the picture beautifully.

The underwater world of the Seychelles is breathtakingly beautiful. From the resort, you can walk straight into the sea to admire this kaleidoscope of colors. Or hop aboard a luxurious speedboat for a tour along some of the most stunning snorkeling spots around the main island of Mahé. Enjoy the enchanting view from the water as the sea breeze plays with your hair and a refreshing drink is handed to you. There are countless locations to choose from, and you will certainly experience a diverse selection.

This evening promises an unforgettable experience. You will indulge in romance Creole style with the fantastic ‘Sunset Champagne on the Rocks’ experience on Mahé. The exclusive Cap Lazare nature reserve is surrounded by pristine natural beauty, where you will take a guided tour in a golf buggy. Discover native plants, walk along beautiful trails, and meet the freely roaming giant land tortoises on the grounds. As dusk falls, you will be led along a secret route to a majestic, rocky outcrop where you will be treated to a breathtaking view of the Indian Ocean, illuminated by the setting sun. Relax on comfortable loungers while enjoying a variety of local snacks, fresh coconut, homemade chips, and of course the sparkling flavors of champagne.

Island hopping in style is a very common way to enjoy your holiday at Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas. After breakfast, you check out and fly by helicopter to the exclusive North Island for a stay of ultimate refined service and natural beauty.

This idyllic island, like Mahé, is part of the granite islands of Seychelles, but measures only 1.2 by 2.1 kilometers, an oasis of unparalleled serenity and beauty. This dream destination has only 11 villas, making North Island the embodiment of intimacy and discretion.

To ensure the ultimate sense of privacy, the villas are beautifully tucked away among the greenery along the palm-lined beach of Anse d’Est. Very spacious in design, with both indoor and outdoor areas fully your own, you have your own enclave in this magical environment.

You are about to experience a number of divine days filled with refinement and wonder. Wake up to the lovely sounds of nature around you and let yourself be guided by your desires. Start the day with a delicious breakfast at your villa by the pool, or if you get up early, join the daily yoga session at the spa, which is located on a breathtaking cliff overlooking the azure waters.

Feeling inspired by the surroundings? Share your wishes with the check-in and a top-class meal will be prepared for you in the evening that fully meets your desires.

North Island offers a world of natural beauty both on the island and in the crystal-clear waters surrounding it. If you have your diving license, you will be able to enjoy breathtaking views above the stunning coral reef. An excursion to the nearby island of Silhouette can also be arranged.

Sunsets at the West Beach Bar are truly magical.

This morning, you depart from paradise, heading home with a suitcase full of beautiful memories. You fly by helicopter to Mahé International Airport. The palms wave goodbye as you take one last look at the island, which slowly disappears on the horizon.
