Manga Soa Lodge

Picture staying on a quiet, private lodge where there are only five rentals per night with your own beach-facing patio surrounded by rich rosewood (Madagascar’s timber sporting dark brown hues). That place is Manga Soa Lodge, where the view from your bedroom is the Bay of Befefika. The intimate lodge has a luxury pool that sits on the edge of the ocean, giving guests a feeling of swimming in the ocean from the comforts of the pool. The beach that are within steps from Manga Soa Lodge is known for being rich in its coral reefs, an excellent place to snorkel and scuba dive. Head to its main building where an exotic restaurant serves Malagasy fare. The restaurant is so popular that guests staying in other hotels will go out of their way just to dine at the restaurant.
