Longing – sun – Seychelles:
The sea temperature is 25° Celsius and the temperatures outside are pleasantly summery. The infinity pool offers an unobstructed 180 degree view of the Indian Ocean. The MAIA Luxury Resort & Spa on the Seychelles island of Mahé is a place of longing for all those who want to escape the winter. The resort has currently launched an Ocean View Villa Special. Guests who book seven nights or more by April 20, 2011 or between May 10 and August 31, 2011 will pay 930 euros for an overnight stay in an Ocean View Villa for two including half board.
Guests at the resort can feel at home in one of the 30 open-plan villas. Each of these 250 square meters has a spacious outdoor area with terrace, infinity pool and a covered pavilion with dining area, kitchen and oversized day bed. A personal butler takes care of the guests’ wishes. Whether it’s a romantic aromatic bath in the villa’s outdoor bathtub, an excursion to Mahé or the neighboring islands, he is available for all requests and is happy to share his knowledge of the country, its people and the most beautiful places in the Seychelles.
In the resort’s “Rock Spa”, which is set amidst the typical granite rocks, guests can relax in the open air with a body massage or facial treatment using products from the Swiss cosmetics brand La Prairie. One of the most popular massages is the “20 finger massage”, in which two therapists simultaneously massage the body and stretch it using yoga techniques.
Culinary delights are provided by an international kitchen team with five chefs who create a wide variety of à la minute dishes on request. In addition to Creole cuisine with fish and curry, dishes from Asian, Arabic and Mediterranean cuisine provide variety.
Wine lovers will enjoy MAIA’s wine cellar, which stocks over 280 varieties.
Guests can experience their personal Wine Sign® during a 45-minute tasting. The concept developed by a French chateau and winery owner is a unique aid to finding your personal favorite wine.
Bookings can be made through specialized travel agencies, The Leading Hotels of the World and the hotel by calling 00248-390-367 or emailing reservations@southernsun.sc. Further information and offers at www.maia.com.sc.
