Situated on Madagascar's Nosy-Be Island, the spectacular Manga Soa Lodge is an oasis of natural beauty, surrounded by fragrant tropical gardens and panoramic views of the crashing Indian Ocean. There's never a dull moment here either, with helicopter flights, quad biking tours, walking and hiking excursions, snorkelling, diving, fishing and countless tropical islands to explore, right on the doorstep. But if a quiet moment is what you're looking for, relax by the swimming pool or head to the private beach, before falling asleep to the sound of the rolling waves and waking up to do it all again...
From $140 person/night
Arrange a snorkelling trip, either next to Manga or make a day of it at a neighbouring island, and dive beneath the tropical waters to discover the multicoloured marine kingdoms of the area.
Make the most of the fabulous in-house masseuse and book a massage right by the water's edge. You are on holiday after all!
The setting of Manga Soa is simply beautiful - right on the beach, overlooking the sparkling Indian Ocean and with exclusive access to a private beach, where the sand is whiter than snow...
Manga Soa's open-air restaurant overlooks the sea and is the place of legendary, homemade breakfasts and fresh seafood dinners. The lounge, a beautiful creation of Rosewood timber and Indonesian chic, is the perfect post-dinner spot to listen to the regular live pianist (iced cocktail in hand, of course). There's also an outdoor pool overlooking the aquamarine waters, and a private beach exclusively for guests.
Manga Soa has six pretty bungalows and one private villa dotted amongst the coconut palms and mango trees above the ocean. Interiors are Indonesian in style and wonderfully soothing, with rich timber textures, white linens and bold orange fabrics. All have private bathrooms, minibars, lounge areas and TVs. Throw open the huge folding doors to reveal the private balcony and sublime views of the Indian Ocean - and leave them open all night for the perfect morning wake up call as the sun rises across the water...
If you're looking for off-the-beaten-track (but with a little touch of luxury!), Manga Soa Lodge is a perfect choice and even better, it's one of the most affordable lodges in the area.
