Best hotels in Amber Mountain National Park

In the land of the tropical litchi where 90% of the residents are farmers, you’ll find this historical manor tucked away on the hillside. Built in 1902, The Litchi Tree has been returned to it’s former glory since its heyday as home to French admiralty. Expansive well-manicured grounds hug the white colonial mansion, which has a breathtaking view of the bay below. Fine dining, good wine, coffee and company can all be found here - many call it an “oasis”.

Charming, eco-friendly Ambre Nature Lodge lies near the sleepy French colonial village of Joffreville, in Madagascar’s far north. Here, simple and relaxed Malagasy style blends beautifully with the astonishing tropical location, making this a great base for nature lovers wishing to explore the Ambre (Amber) Mountain National Park, just a few kilometres away, and the other parks and small towns nearby. Accommodation consists of 12 comfortable thatched bungalows in lush tropical gardens, with far-reaching views over the rolling hills and dense forests all the way to the Indian Ocean.
