Last night, the MAIA Luxury Resort & Spa<\/strong> was awarded the Grand Prix for Best Hotel in Africa <\/strong>at the 15th Prix Vill\u00e9giature awards ceremony, held at the Ch\u00e2teau de Ferri\u00e8re near Paris.

Opened in 2006, MAIA Luxury Resort & Spa is located in Anse Louis, on a private peninsula on the southwest coast of Mah\u00e9, the main island of the Seychelles. This member of The Leading Hotels of the World<\/em> features 30 individual villas surrounded by their own private gardens, with panoramic ocean views. Each villa has its own 7.50 m infinity pool and large outdoor bathtub. The resort stands out in particular for its service, provided by butlers who are each dedicated to a single villa throughout its occupants’ stay. <\/p>\n

MAIA’s “ultimate all-inclusive” formula allows resort guests to enjoy their stay without stress or restrictions. As for its “When you want, where you want, what you want” catering concept, it offers the possibility of dining at any time of day, with no time constraints. <\/p>\n

Owned by South African hotel group Tsogo Sun, MAIA Luxury Resort & Spa has been managed since last summer by Frenchman Lionel Ferrari.<\/strong><\/p>\n
