"Anantara, best known for its hotels and resorts throughout Asia, made its Seychelles debut with Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas. All 30 thatched-roof villas are identical in terms of size and layout, measuring an impressive 2,691 square feet each. Entrance is through a tall wooden door and stone pathway, leading to a wealth of picture-perfect indoor and outdoor spaces. Outside, first find a covered, open-air dining and living area, mini-kitchen and bar, where a fridge remains fully stocked with your favorite wines. An infinity pool provides an idyllic spot for soaking in the scene and appreciating the Seychelles’s splendor. The infinity pool segues to a second, ornamental pool with a deep, soaking bathtub at its core, flanked by chaise loungers, partially submerged in the water. —Paul Rubio"
