Accommodation

Maia’s 30 villas (approximately 250 m2) are located within Maia’s award-winning, lush tropical gardens, enjoying 180 degree, uninterrupted sea views offset by the warm, earthy tones of the villa’s interior design:

• 3 Ocean View Villas (nestled within the hillside and close to the restaurant)
• 8 Ocean Front Villas (direct access to the beach and a private garden. Suitable for families)
• 11 Ocean Panoramic Villas (on the hilltop, overlooking Anse Louis or Anse Boileau Bays)

Each villa comprises two separate pavilions and a private, infinity-edged pool. All enjoy luxury air-conditioned bedrooms with an interleading bathroom with walk-in shower, dual vanity, and a glorious outdoor, double sunken bath tub. The spacious bedroom pavilions are equipped with a privately stocked bar, flat screen TV, DVD player, iPod station, ceiling fans and a La Prairie fridge for cosmetics. A secluded, outdoor Gazebo is fully equipped with en-suite dining facilities and a wonderfully oversized day bed. Your private butler can prepare light dishes, meals and refreshments throughout the day – this includes off menu items such as barbecues and freshly caught fish.
