About Masoandro Lodge

Privacy, tranquillity and whales offshore on tropical Nosy Boraha Island.
Surrounded by luxuriant tropical forest on the north-west coast of Nosy Boraha (previously Île Sainte-Marie), Masoandro Lodge is a pretty and private retreat about 25 minutes by tuk-tuk from the nearest village. The sense of peace is palpable here, far off the beaten track, and the hillside wooden bungalows with great long-range views offer all the comforts you need. Snorkel the coral reefs, get as close to the whales as you're allowed, loll in the pool and enjoy well-prepared dishes and courteous service.

Property details

The property

Everything is geared towards your appreciation of the sea at Masoandro, so the squashy sofas in the main areas, the seating on the veranda and the dining area face the ocean. The cuisine is simple, but the meals are super-fresh and delicious. In-season visitors can expect nightly entertainment, always good for holiday fun. The staff are friendly and speak English. Excursions are arranged at reception, but check before booking as some outings can be expensive. Wi-fi is available.

The rooms

Stay in one of 12 Nature Bungalows or six Deluxe Bungalows. The smaller options are charming, with their woodland setting and ocean views. Each has aircon, a private balcony, mosquito-netted beds and an en-suite bathroom with hot water, a shower and toilet. The larger, more expensive Deluxe Bungalows can sleep four people (in a bedroom and adaptable living room). They're very comfortable, with that vital aircon, minibar, TV and en-suite bathroom.

Activities

Pull on your snorkel and goggles and explore the reef; go kayaking and meet the fishermen on their pirogues; or enjoy a private boat trip to admire the coastline. On land, discover the surrounding villages of Loukintsy, Maromandia or Ikalalao on foot; investigate the local flora on a guided walk in Ikalao or Ampatsy forests; rent a mountain bike at reception and pedal around the island; take a guided quad bike tour; have a massage or wallow in the pool.
