'It's a great honour and privilege. I am very grateful for this mission entrusted to me and thank the Management of the Group for believing in me. Of course, I am sad to be leaving a team that I have known for so long and a place that I have cherished for so many years. However, it is also very stimulating to meet a new team and discover a new product,' says Florence Decotter. 'It promises to be a great human adventure at this point in my career. I thank the Shandrani Beachcomber team for accompanying me through all these years. I will always have great memories and great anecdotes.

'We also thank Youssef, who held the position of General Manager of Sainte Anne Resort & Spa in the Seychelles from 2016 to 2019, before taking over the management of Mauricia Beachcomber in June 2019. During the past two years, he has been able to give a new lease of life at Mauricia Beachcomber and for a year now, he has efficiently managed the hotel, which has been converted into a quarantine centre. Youssef is leaving Beachcomber but remains in the Group as he will take on other responsibilities at DPM in Marrakech ', he adds.
