ROCKIN’ IT IN THE SEYCHELLES

Mahe in the Seychelles is home to the lovely Anantara Maia Luxury Resort and Spa, whose 30 villas are set among 30 acres of lush gardens dotted with the island’s distinctive giant granite rocks.

With large decks and beautiful teak interiors, some villas come with plunge pools but all have stupendous views across the bay. The hotel has just opened a new open-air spa and three treatment rooms sit under thatched roofs, shaded by a canopy of palm trees and tucked discreetly away in the gardens. Villas from £1,923, all inclusive per night. Now open. anantara.com
