REST IN PARADISE
Paradise is a paradise, and it is also the former name of the village of Novy Svet, and it most closely matches the sensations from a trip to the village, and from the hotel complex "Novy Svet". No one knows how it is in real paradise, there is clearly not enough reliable evidence, but the heavenly atmosphere of the New World is an irrefutable fact. The village occupies a wonderful amphitheater at the foot of the Oryol and Sokol mountains, their steep peaks are petrified coral reefs, the foothills of the mountains are overgrown with Crimean pine and juniper, and together with the sea this creates that very magical atmosphere, the unique microclimate of the New World. But this merit is not only nature. Despite the fact that the Soviet past has left indelible marks on the appearance of the village ("Khrushchev", "mini-hotels" from garages), the leaders of the tourist complex not only focus on the best examples, but also create their own style, skillfully combine natural features and modern trends .
The hotel complex "Novy Svet" is certainly one of the leaders in the tourism industry not only in a tiny village, but, without exaggeration, in the entire Crimea. This is the tallest, largest building that meets you at the entrance to the New World, with the largest territory, its own park and beach - but I included it among the leaders not only by these features, but by the amount of effort and money that the owners invest into development.


A typical faceless "skyscraper" of Soviet architecture, due to a very successful exterior design, received a modern attractive look: glass railings of loggias, panoramic elevators, stylish facade materials. Inside, almost everything corresponds to the first external impression: friendly competent staff, a fairly large selection of rooms, all with good design.
The reservation is "practically" and a cautious assessment of the design is "good" - because the reconstruction of the hotel continues, the construction of the spa complex is completed, and the design is, well, just magnificent, so magnificent that it begins to seem: the hotel was built to satisfy the creative ambitions of the designer, and not for guests , it's like a festival movie - the awards are endless, but it's impossible to watch, so let the design be for me, for the main person, for the guest - convenient, unobtrusive, intuitive, friendly - that is, the same as in the "New World". Furniture and plumbing - everything is new and comfortable, bathrobes, slippers, shampoos, hair dryer, tea, coffee, kettle, refrigerator, TV - a standard set of a good hotel.

So, we settled into the room, go for a walk.
We also have a good choice in this: you can go down (3-5 minutes) to the sea, to the beach, or walk along the embankment, and here at Novy Svet - a village, not a hotel - a certain advantage over many other Crimean coastal villages, you go exactly along embankment, admiring the sea and mountains, and not along a narrow passage between stalls and eateries; from the embankment you can go on a boat trip on a boat, you can walk to nature, there are several directions with stunning views: the Golitsyn Trail, or through a juniper grove to Cape Kapchik, or further away, climb Mount Karaul-Oba, there are routes a little more difficult, but all areas of special physical training do not require, only caution and suitable shoes.

Behind restaurants and other party establishments, nightclubs - this is better in Yalta.

In the New World, if you wish, you can find where to “light it up”, but it’s still a place for silence, peace, meditation, relaxation, admiring nature, which is almost at arm’s length here - you can walk the whole village in 15 minutes, well, well, if from the sea up and with respite - then for 20)).

Nature is even closer in the Novy Svet hotel. As I already noted, there is a park here, and even a mountain gorge, the slopes of which are covered with Crimean pine and relic juniper. You can place yourself so that the juniper branch looks right out the window: this year a chalet complex was opened here.
On a rather steep slope of the gorge, stylish houses on stilts, reliable steel stilts, seem to float in the air among undisturbed pines and junipers, despite the apparent weightlessness of the structure, and an air bridge laid among the branches leads to them, along which even just walking is already an attraction, and it was worth thinking that a rope park was asking right here, like - wow! - after the next turn of the bridges, it has already been built. This I mean that it is possible and necessary to stay here with children - there is also a playroom and other infrastructure necessary for this.

I’ll add about the infrastructure: a spa complex with a mud bath has been built, but finishing work is still underway, but there is already a medical, rehabilitation and cosmetic complex, where you just can’t count all kinds of procedures, and their names are something cosmic!
The cuisine in the "New World" is excellent, the buffet is quite varied, there is something for vegetarians and those who are on a diet, the restaurant, of course, has been reconstructed - and very successfully! - from the former Soviet canteen, which was not about comfort, but about quickly feeding Soviet workers who deserved a ticket, but thanks to Soviet architects who designed an open terrace surrounding the restaurant: a table overlooking the bay and mountains provides exactly that level of romance and poetry, which you want so much in Paradise!

This year, alas, several sightseeing objects were closed for reconstruction: the tasting room at the Novy Svet champagne factory, the house-museum of the founder of this factory (and in general of all Russian winemaking) Prince Lev Golitsyn.

This, of course, is not a shortcoming of the Novy Svet hotel, on the contrary, the hotel skillfully compensated for this: they provided a proven sensible guide for hiking in the mountains, to the source of St. Anastasia, and you can choose many more excursions and tours - yes, all kinds of barkers, but the hotel offers only trusted partners.
