For a refuge from reality where relaxation and romance rule the roost, look no further than this retreat on the lush green island of Mahe. Feel soft sand beneath your soles and savour a secluded, untouched shore tickled by the fingers of a transparent turquoise sea.

Total tranquillity is assured. The resort’s dedication to peace and quiet extends to the beach where guests won’t be disturbed by the noise of motorised water sports (although guests may participate off-site).

30 exclusive villas overlook the beachfront of Anse Louis. Each features a stunning outdoor double bath with surrounding infinity pool. A private outdoor gazebo is perfect for dining on fresh caught fish, fragrant curries and lush fruits.

The Maia Spa provides the next step to losing yourself in luxury and indulgence. If you can bear to stir yourself, customised excursions to the outer islands by private boat or helicopter can be arranged.
