Janey Have you made a decision on a Honeymoon yet? While researching possible destinations for us, I read this article (DM link, sorry 
) about taking young children to the Seychelles and this caught my eye...
"Hot, puffy and blinking in the bright sunshine, we all flopped into an air-conditioned 4x4 for the mercifully short 40-minute trip to the Maia Luxury Resort and Spa. Set in 12 acres of tropical gardens, the Maia was a sight for a sore eyes – not to mention back, neck and shoulders.
Situated in the south west of the mainland, hugging white-sandy Anse Louis cove and the surrounding hillside, it’s a small, independent resort with just 30 villas.
But with more than 200 staff, it reputedly packs a boutique punch that knocks its upmarket rivals out of the Indian Ocean.
It has done away with irritating inconveniences such as a reception desk and check-in, and we were transported swiftly through the resort gates straight to our beachside villa to relax. And what a villa.
Large, airy and beautifully fitted out, it had a plunge pool large enough for the children to swim in, an open-air kitchen, four sinks, two showers, two loos, numerous fat comfy sunbeds and a great sound system.
But the best thing? It came with a full-time butler and professional child-whisperer called Gusti, who within a few hours of our arrival had our son fast asleep in a golf buggy and our daughter set up to make silk-screen T-shirts with a local artist.
My husband and I had nothing left to do but collapse on to a couple of loungers and burn ourselves in the sun – and we learned very quickly that if we ventured out of our villa, we could have the whole place to ourselves.
I am sure there were other guests. They told us there were. In fact, we once saw the back of someone on the way to breakfast and there was another couple who rudely ventured on to ‘our’ beach, but the Maia is a place that is so discreet and so bespoke that you end up thinking they’ve put the whole thing together just for you.
My children swam naked in the huge hotel pool, complete with fantastic waterfalls, while my husband and I had his ’n’ hers treatments in the spa. We had full-time childcare – so why not? We even did yoga together for the first time, I think, since 1996."
This place sounds absolutely Honeymoon-tastic, especially your own full-time child carer part!
