Hotel Tsarabanjina - Madagascar

Hotel Tsarabanjina

An Island, small in size, conducive to seclusion, calm and exclusivity. An Island privileged in its relationship with nature. An Island where one is refreshed and regenerated in a timeless setting, in order to discover one’s own tempo, no pressures, no constraints. An Island with no news, no television and no telephone. An Island with no dress code other than the pareo, and bare feet. An Island without any sound in the background other than that of the waves and the birds. An Island where one pampers oneself by resting, by relaxing, with sports, massages and a healthy diet made up mainly of sea food. An Island with a small house, on your own, with simple amenities but cosy.

Located northwest of Madagascar Main Island, forty nautical miles from Nosy-Be, Tsarabanjina is a paradise in the Mitsio archipelago. Sheltered from natural cataclysms, the region is sunny all year round. Built on two beaches, North and South, are twenty-one A-framed bungalows looking out on the sea, with a thatched roof and with a private terrace built from rosewood. Every bungalow is unique and consists of the main bedroom equipped with fans, a minibar, a bathroom with shower and a separate toilet, a private terrace with deck chairs and coffee table.

Hotel Tsarabanjina has been developed on one of the uninhabited islands, a paradise in the Mitsio Archipelago. The 22-hectare island is small but offers lush vegetation and crystal clear water. The hotel exemplifies the term “barefoot luxury”, which in itself sums up the sort of trickle-the-sand-through-your toes feeling, mixed with cordon bleu catering and excellent service, on a Robinson Crusoe style island. The main building includes a lounge and bar with soft beach sand as a floor, while the upper deck is the dining room with a stunning view over the tranquil beach and a secluded bay.

Activities revolve around the soft white beaches and turquoise water. A fully equipped PADI dive centre allows guests to dive from the beach or explore the coral of neighbouring islands by boat. Friendly and knowledgeable staff assist with Hobie Cat sailing, snorkelling, deep-sea fishing, walks around the island or visits to nearby islands. Although the emphasis is on seclusion, there is always plenty to do.
