Villas de Vohilava

Location: Villas de Vohilava is situated in the south of Ile Sainte Marie in Madagascar. The fine sandy beach is a few meters from the bungalow.  The sleepy island is a place of soft-sand beaches, lush palm trees and charming fishing villages where old traditions are still alive. 

How to get here: You can take a short 50-min flight from Antananarivo to Sainte Marie (SMS) or, alternatively, you can take a long 7-hour bus ride to Tamatave and then continue to Mahambo for another 3 hours, where you can take a ferry the next morning. The ferry takes around 3,5 hours. Once landed, take a 10-min road transfer to the hotel.

Structure: Villas de Vohilava has spacious wooden 2/4 bedroom villas placed in the lush tropical garden and equipped with kitchen, living room and sea-facing terrace with hammocks. A personal governess will take care of the food and the villas. The villas have mosquito nets, fans, electricity, hot water and mini-safe. The on-site La Varangue restaurant has a large terrace facing the lagoon where buffets, breakfasts and dinners are served.

Why staying here: You will have privacy here and will be taken care of a personal villa governess. The villas are super comfortable and charming. This is one of the best hotels on the island. Relaxing on the shores, diving in the rich reefs, and between June and September, watching the humpback whales jumping off in an incredible spectacle. As the location is in the south-west, you can watch spectacular sunsets from the beach every night.
