PB hotel design editorial

Tucked into the granite-boulder hillside above Anse Louis on Mahé's southwest coast, where dense takamaka forest spills down to one of the island's least-visited beaches, the design challenge at Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas was fundamentally ecological: how to place thirty villas on a steeply terraced site without disturbing either the canopy or the sense of radical seclusion the location promised. The answer, visible from the water, was a cluster of steeply pitched thatch-roofed pavilions that disappear into the treeline — their conical profiles referencing vernacular Indian Ocean forms while their heavy timber frames and floor-to-ceiling sliding panels bring them closer to contemporary tropical resort architecture of the kind refined across Southeast Asia over the past three decades. Inside, the interiors work a considered register of warm teak slatting, canopied four-poster beds in white linen, and woven rattan seating — a vocabulary that feels calibrated to comfort rather than spectacle. Broad-planked hardwood floors anchor each room, with dusty-rose silk cushions and hand-loomed throws providing the only colour against a largely neutral ground. The carved basalt totem columns rising from the main infinity pool are the property's most overt decorative gesture, borrowing from Polynesian and pan-Indian Ocean craft traditions to give the outdoor spaces a ceremonial weight. The dining pavilion, with its exposed radial timber trusses and woven-panel ceiling, carries the same structural honesty through to the resort's social heart.

Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas Reviews

"Over one year ago, I booked two rooms at Anatara Maia through a luxury African safari specialist. I was to stay at Anatara with my family for three days after safari. This trip with my husband and 2 teenage daughters is to celebrate my cancer treatment ending after two years. As unbelievable as this sounds, a few days ago (2 days into my safari and a week before I am scheduled to check into Anatara) my travel agent urgently contacts me to let me know Anatara has made the decision to let a “government delegation” book the whole resort for two weeks during my stay. Anatara thought it was a good idea to not honor any of the 90 reservations during these two weeks and essentially kicked everyone out to other hotels so the “government delegation” can stay there.. As mentioned, I personally had my reservation for 2 rooms for over a year but I am sure other guests may have booked farther out. To make matters worse, my stay is at the end of the delegation “buy out.” So Anatara moved my family with two rooms to a different hotel for 2 nights, then wants me to come back to Anatara for the remaining stay. So I am supposed to use one of my precious three days in the Seychelles packing up, checking out, transporting my family to a different hotel, checking in, and unpacking….for four people who flew halfway across the word to be there. Of course my travel agent said this situation is unprecedented in the “luxury “ hotel sphere. My agent pleaded with them and tried to negotiate but all Anatara would consider is giving me a free floating appetizer for my pool and a private dinner with my teenagers : ) Since Anatara Maia only gave a few days notice of their sell-out, I have now spent many hours of my celebration trip dealing with this incredibly disrespectful and appalling situation. I truly can’t understand why Anatara would think it is a good idea to anger what could be repeat clients since they have properties all over Asia. Or imagine the amount of guests and agents they have angered and disrupted because of this fiasco. I know my luxury agency will never book with them again. I could have stayed anywhere on the island but I chose Anatara. I never will again. I hope other guests that were mistreated will speak up as well."
