November 2007 edition of Architectural Digest they feature "Maia Luxury Resort & Spa," on the island Mahe. I have to say it looks fabulous. Is this the same resort in the posts above that only get fair reviews?

What is the premier resort for the Seychelles?

Can anyone rate which is best, Seychelles, Maldives, southern thailand(phuket,etc), or french polynesia Bora/bora? This would be based on beauty, top resorts & most exotic? I know this is a silly and subjective question, but the seychelles, maldives and bora/bora all seem to have similar qualities to me. I appreciate your insight.
