Madagascar: eco and peace

Madagascar has a surprisingly beautiful coastline as well as a group of tropical islands off the northwest coast. The main island Nosy Be is well known for the Ylang-Ylang plantations, which form the base for many perfume fragrances. But this island is also the starting place for island hopping to the idyllic islands in the area with their ultimate hideaways where you can rest, faraway from civilization. In addition to the beautiful sandy beaches, the west coast has beautiful sunsets to enjoy. We have selected the following hotels from north to south.

The unspoiled nature of the volcanic island Nosy Komba with its with beautiful beaches, is an hour’s boat ride. This green island is home to the rare black lemurs and has the highest point in the area at 622m. The island has a diameter of 8 km and the majority of the population lives in the village of Ampangorinana. At the Tsara Komba Lodge everything revolves around nature which is proven by the membership of the Unique National Geographic lodges. There are only six spacious bungalow well-appointed rooms with lots of privacy and a beautiful view of the sea. Here everything revolves around tranquility, nature, good food, water sports and ultimate enjoyment. The most beautiful diving locations are to found in the area such as the protected nature reserve Nosy Tanikely.

Northeast of Nosy Be lies the breathtaking Mitsio Archipelago where you can sleep on the beautiful Nosy Tsarabanjina, a private island with three sublime beaches and only one hotel with 25 bungalow rooms and a helipad. The pareo and flipflops are ready for you upon arrival and more clothes will not be needed during your stay here! All rooms in this all-inclusive resort have sea views and are divided into “north beach villas” (with air conditioning) and “south beach villas”.

There are many water sports activities available including catamaran sailing, snorkeling and canoeing. The resort can only be reached with a private aircraft (Sat / Tue / Thu)

Near Morondava on the west coast lies the Avenue des Baobabs, for many the view of these majestic trees at sunset is a justification for the journey. Hotel Palissandre is a nice beach hotel from which you can enjoy sea-views and sunsets.

In the south of Madagascar the beach hotels are a bit simpler and more adventurous, but can easily be combined during your journey in Madagascar. Close to Ifaty you will find Hotel Le Paradisier, with 20 bungalows directly adjacent to a beautiful white sandy beach. The bungalows of the Ankasy Lodge lie deserted on a beautiful beach and can only be reached per 4WD.
