Madagascar Sainte Marie: Boraha Village ***

Situated on the south-east coast of the island, this gem of a hotel beckons those yearning for solitude and relaxation. Indulge yourself in the quiet, exquisite surroundings and feast on the sheer beauty of this unspoilt hideaway.

The 8 comfortable, charming bungalows built in Palissandre wood are simple but tastefully decorated with private terrace, en-suite bathrooms, safes and mosquito nets. There is one family bungalow with two bedrooms which can accommodate up to 4 people. All are sea-facing, scattered far apart in the lush tropical gardens close to the beachfront. Small expanse of beach but while away your days relaxing on your deck chair on the edge of a long jetty in the middle of the ocean. Swimming is possible even at low-tide off the jetty. Famous for their cuisine, lunchtime house specialities on offer as well as an extensive dinner menu offering a wide range of original exotic tastes. A gourmet’s delight….
