Best hotels in Madagascar

Just about in the middle of nowhere, Berenty Lodge takes off-the-beaten-track to a new level. In this case, 'nowhere' is actually one of Madagascar's oldest protected reserves, and Berenty is tucked amongst a forest of tamarind trees on the banks of the Mandrare River. You'll spend most of your time exploring the private wilderness on foot, where residents include multiple species of lemur, fossas and eye-catching birdlife. The lodge is family-owned and functional with little to detract from the natural surrounds, but you'll be more than comfortable. And even when you're at base, keep your peepers peeled for the lemurs who hang out on the grounds!

The Thermal Hotel, one of the hotels led by The Relais Madagascar, is nestled on the green setting of the famous site of Ranomafana which thermal waters provide healing virtues unanimously recognized. In this new lease on life, the rehabilitation of the 3 buildings refurbished on the replica of the former construction, takes part in the desire of a community to refresh, protect and enliven their so beautiful sylvan region! To start out, 21 comfortable rooms, a gourmet restaurant and a cosy bar will be intended to ensure you a serene hospitality.
