The 4-star Princesse Bora Lodge & Spa is one of the top hotels in Madagascar and in a class of its own on Sainte Marie!
You can choose to either sink your feet into the beach sand at the beach bar, which is built around a pirogue hull, or head to the jetty deck where the bar is constructed around the pontoons of a sea-plane. No matter where you are, the drinks are always served cold.
The lodge features 20 intimate and luxurious guest villas, all linked to the lodge by a wooden boardwalk. Additionally, guests have exclusive access to the lodge's land further afield. You can inquire with the owner, "Fifou", about excursions to Coco Bay, kite surfing, or whale watching.
The restaurant serves both French and Malagasy cuisine to cater to everyone's tastes.
