The Sabay Sai stays collection is a set of places in nature around Almaty that we love going to ourselves and would happily send our friends to: cabins in the mountains and foothills, micro-resorts, private homes and farm stays. There are cabins for two for a quiet weekend and houses for families and groups. You book directly on our website, with no middlemen.
November in the mountains is quiet and clear: fewer people, crisper air, longer evenings. One night is rarely enough to really feel a place: you only properly unwind on the second day. So until 30 November, we add a sauna or hot tub for anyone who stays two nights at one of these places, and give 10% off at Umbra Village.
Craftsman House near Ushkonyr Plateau
A private home for two or a group of up to four in Shamalgan village, an hour from Almaty. The interior was put together by vintage furniture restorers, and the yard has its own sauna and a gas grill.
White & Grey Cabins above Almaty
Two private design cabins, 25 minutes from the Almaty Golden Square. Made for a romantic weekend for two, a family trip or simply a quiet reset in nature.
Umbra Village Micro-Resort
Cabins with panoramic windows and cosy cabins for two on quiet grounds right at the entrance to Ile-Alatau National Park, an hour from Almaty. A breakfast kit is included. November is the last few weeks of the season: Umbra closes for the winter from December to April.
Santal A-Frame at Dikaya Soap Farm
A two-storey A-frame for up to three guests that the farm's hosts built together with Sabay Sai. The furniture was handmade by local woodworkers, and the house smells of wild herbs and sandalwood, a scent the hosts created themselves.
The farm is a family soap workshop by a stream, an hour from Almaty: Olya and Slava make soap from herbs they gather on the hills around it. A breakfast basket is included, and walking trails start right at the farm.
Domingo Barnhouse near Ak-Bulak
A cosy home for a family or a group of up to six in a quiet village, five minutes from the ski resort. Breakfast is included, and the yard has a wood-fired sauna and a hot tub.
