9 Days in Madagascar
Whoever said 'no man is an island' clearly wasn't talking about Madagascar! This fascinating micro-continent has it all: beautiful cities, lush rainforests, and tropical beaches. Our romantic holiday starts in Madagascar's capital, affectionately known as Tana, before heading to the white sand beaches of Nosy Be. The journey ends off with a one night stay in Tana again.
The city stands proudly on a ridge and is one of contrasts with cobbled streets and historical buildings sharing space with rice paddies and verdant hills. A lively and bustling city, Antananarivo will ensure that every day...
The city stands proudly on a ridge and is one of contrasts with cobbled streets and historical buildings sharing space with rice paddies and verdant hills. A lively and bustling city, Antananarivo will ensure that every day is filled with unusual spectacles.
The serene Au Bois Vert is located in a three-hectare forest approximately 10km from Antananarivo and 10 minutes from Ivato Airport. Explore the surrounding forest that is home to chameleons, birds, and various other plant and animal life, or borrow a bicycle or motorcycle from the hotel and visit the surrounding local villages and markets.
Perched on a hill above Madagascar’s thriving capital city and overlooking the fabled Avenue of Independence, Palissandre Hotel & Spa is a superb base for travellers wanting to explore the city and those wanting to wind down before or after their trip around the island.
Old-style French Malagasy charm abounds in Pavillon de l’Emyrne—a boutique hotel found in the old city of Madagascar’s capital Antananarivo. All of the city’s best restaurants, historical attractions, shops, and bars are on your doorstep in this old house dotted with lovingly restored traditional antiques and furniture.

Just off the north-west coast of Madagascar, a cluster of small islands crowd around the big Nosy Be to form the Nosy Be Archipelago. These tropical forest-covered islands are home to stunning coral reefs lying just below crystal clear waters and metres from white sand beaches, making the archipelago the place to visit for a tropical holiday in Madagascar. Nicknamed ‘Nosy Manitra’ or the ‘perfumed island’, Nosy Be greets its visitors with the scents of ylang-ylang, coffee, cacao, and vanilla - delighting the senses.
Worship the sun and the sea, with sand between your toes and sarong around your waist. At Constance Tsarabanjina Madagascar, there are no deadlines and no obligations. Contemplate only what matters from the sway of a beach hammock, and discover the island’s unique biodiversity with a walk through the green and splash in the blue.
Fancy yourself a modern-day Robinson Crusoe? Enjoy tropical island luxury off the coast of Madagascar with Nosy Iranja Lodge. Found on a small island northeast of Nosy Be, guests can enjoy all manner of water-related activities and lazy days on the beach.
Anjajavy l’Hôtel is one of the most remote and exclusive hotels in Madagascar. Only 24 luxury rosewood Villas stand on the property, with exclusive access to the private beaches that dot the shoreline. The hotel sits in its own private 450ha nature reserve, with over 1,800 species of flora and a variety of exotic animals.
