 Tarajava
Tana
A boutique property located high in the hills of Tana with sweeping views of the city, guests at Tarajava are welcomed with a 'home away from home' philosophy – and because travel in Madagascar often requires frequent stopovers in Tana, guests often return multiple times during their trip and are always welcomed back enthusiastically. There are only four elegant suites in this restored townhouse, each individually decorated and adorned with crystal chandeliers, eclectic art brightening the walls, and lavish marble bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs. Two of the suites have spacious balconies, where outdoor seating offers a perfect spot to enjoy the spectacular city views and watch the neighbors going about their daily activities.

 Le Domaine de Fontenay
Amber Mountain (Joffre Ville)
Once the homestead of a French settler, Le Domaine de Fontenay has been lovingly restored by the charming couple who own and run this boutique hotel in Joffre Ville. Rooms are large and each has unique details – ours had a dramatic marble bathtub that looked like something from ancient Rome. The property is perfectly located right in the town of Joffre Ville and is only a five-minute drive to Amber Mountain. The attached Le Fontenay Nature Park is ideal for guests to take hikes to the nearby waterfalls (15 are sprinkled throughout the park). Excellent food and the reliably pleasant climate make Le Domaine an important stop for any traveler to Madagascar. Make sure to also pay a visit to Galileo, a 250-year-old giant turtle who makes his home at Le Domaine – he is the hotel’s most cherished guest and he appreciates attention!

 Tsarabanjina
Mitsio archipelago
Tsarabanjina occupies its own private 22-hectare island in the Mitsio archipelago near Nosy Be. Twenty-one thatched bungalows are located on the island’s North and South beaches; the bungalows are simple but very comfortable, each with a private verandah and hammock to catch the island breeze. The main guest area, where the restaurant is located, perches on stilts that afford diners magnificent sunset views. When not lounging on the truly phenomenal white sand beaches or hanging out on their hammocks, guests can participate in activities including snorkeling, waterskiing, sailing, and world-class diving.

 Anjajavy
This remote resort on Madagascar’s northwest coast curls around a sandy bay with turquoise waters, and limestone cliffs stand guard behind it. Twenty-five villas are spread along the white sand beach; each is designed with dark palissandre wood, large canopy beds with flowing white curtains, en-suite bathrooms and private verandahs complete with hammocks. The Anjajavy Reserve, which borders the resort, contains the rare Madagascar fish eagle, mouse lemurs and Coquerel sifaka, who often climb the trees along the beach. The main lodge houses a comfortable lounge area with a billiards table, bar, and outdoor dining room; the swimming pool is just outside. Guests may choose from the variety of offered activities including sailing, snorkeling, windsurfing, canoeing, big game fishing, nature walks or local market visits.
