Maia Luxury Resort and Spa is the perfect beach resort for an exotic vacation in Seychelles, Africa. You won’t find a better way to relax than by visiting this spa hotel on one of the world’s most untouched island nations.

Where can a discerning traveler enjoy the beach in luxury, but also enjoy the natural beauty of an unspoiled island? The Republic of Seychelles, of course! This stunning country is made of a cluster of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean. About 1,500 km east of mainland Africa, Seychelles is northeast of Madagascar.

Of course, if you’re going to travel to Seychelles, you’ll want to go to Mahé (the largest island). This is where 90 percent of the country’s total population lives. We recommend staying at Maia Luxury Resort and Spa, which is right on Anse Louise beach (a secluded beach on Mahé).

This Mahé resort only has 30 villas, giving guests a unique and intimate experience. Each villa has a fantastic view of the Ocean and features a luxurious gazebo with a thatched roof, a bar and an oversized day bed. Guests also enjoy the services of a private butler, catering to their every need.

After a relaxing stroll along the beach or some tanning on the resort’s tanning deck, you will definitely want to visit Maia’s Spa. You can not only enjoy a variety of spa treatments at this gorgeous Seychelles resort, but also catch up on your yoga, shiatsu and qi gong – all exercises that are designed to strengthen the body and bring peace to the mind.

And, no spa vacation is complete without healthy and nutrient-filled meals. All of the cuisine served at Maia is made with the finest and freshest ingredients.

You will eat well, sleep well and find your vacation with Maia totally relaxing and rejuvenating.

Rain and snow are huge downers in the winter. Who wouldn’t want to leave it all behind for a week or so to visit the sunny sandy beaches of the US Virgin Islands?

If you decide to take a trip to the USVIs, stay at the Westin St. John Resort and Villa. According to Trip Advisor’s 2008 Travelers Choice Awards, The Westin St. John is the number 7 destination in the world. And, given that it’s located on 1,200 feet of private beach (minutes from the Virgin Islands National Park), and is really close to the St. Thomas airport, it’s clear why.

This fantastic resort is featured in Kiwi Collection’s directory of luxury hotels.
There’s plenty to do at the resort from swimming and snorkeling to playing tennis or golf to relaxing at the spa.
