About: Maya Swimwear

Meaning "illusion" in Sanskrit, Maya swimsuits are the perfect blend of quality materials, sensual cuts and immaculate details. With Maya, every swimsuit has been designed with the woman’s body in mind and offers a flattering look every time.

The Cuts

Maya's unique cuts and styles are a departure from the tiny Brazilian and larger American cuts, combining everyday practicality with distinctive South American sensuality. Maya's tapered lines and supportive borders lift and accentuate the natural curves of a woman's body. With a sculpted, lower cut and a wider, more flexible fit, Maya swimsuits offer comfort and freedom of movement while still looking incredibly sexy.

The Designs

The vibrant colors and original prints are as exotic and seductive as South America itself. Maya swimwear designs are further distinguished by their impeccable attention to detail, such as the scallop and ruffle trimmings, string belting and ruche inner seam bottom. Even the packaging is imagined in a novel way – the petite linen pouch can be untied and immediately transformed into a sexy, low-slung pareo.

The Materials

Maya is committed to using only the best fabric and materials available for swimwear. The fabric and materials used by Maya offer the best quality in textile strength, durability and, most importantly, softness to the touch. Maya bathing suits are manufactured in Argentina using a combination of elastic tricot for the outside shell and linens for the inside shell.

Celebrities & Press

Since its US launch a mere six years ago, Maya swim wear has already been featured in Instyle, 944, Ocean Drive, Fitness, US Weekly and Life & Style magazine. It’s also a favorite of the beautiful Jessica Alba, Nicole Richie and sexy singer Fergie.
