Beach Cottages 

2.03 – 11.03.2026 Our vacation in the Seychelles included three islands: La Digue, Praslin, and Mahe. On Mahe, we were supposed to spend only two days before the flight to Moscow. Two days at the Savoy Seychelles Resort & Spa turned out to be a real nightmare, because the hotel itself was the complete opposite of what we loved on La Digue and Praslin. It felt as if after lunches in a Michelin-starred restaurant, we had walked into a McDonald's. It was very disappointing to leave Seychelles on such a note. But then Providence intervened. A suddenly started conflict in the Middle East and the cancellation of flights to the UAE forced us to change plans and stay in the Seychelles for another 9 days. We moved to the guest house Beach Cove Cottages in Bel Ombre. And Yes! Beach Cove Cottages turned out to be cooler than the five-star Savoy! Again, the ocean was roaring under our windows, again we fell asleep to the chirping of geckos and woke up to the cooing of the zebra dove. Again, foddies flew in to see us for breakfast. And we were absolutely happy because we were again in the Seychelles, and not in a shopping mall, which the Savoy resembles. The guest house in Bel Ombre is about a special attitude toward guests. It is not when people "must," but when they owe nothing, yet you constantly feel their attention: sometimes fresh pastries for breakfast, sometimes a bag of fruit, sometimes an ordered dinner, sometimes breadfruit chips because you accidentally mentioned that you love those chips, sometimes opening coconuts and giving everyone a drink just because... These are the little things that make up every day and create the feeling that you are not a tourist here, but something more. The youngest daughter was running around the territory, and I never knew where she was and I was not worried at all. Everyone was looking after her: sometimes she played with the maids, sometimes she peeked into the laundry room, sometimes she washed turtles with Max, sometimes she gathered coconuts with him... Catherine, Max, Soleil, and everyone: it was so interesting to talk to you and so cozy to live with you. Thank you so much for your warmth and attention. See you!
