Constance Tsarabanjina

Tsarabanjina, jewel of the Mitsios

Emerald islet belted by golden beaches in the middle of the turquoise Indian Ocean, the island of Tsarabanjina is home to a little dream lodge, a symbol of barefoot luxury. Located in the northwest of Madagascar, this small private island offers just 25 beach bungalows to enjoy tropical life at the deliciously languid pace of the islands. 40 miles off the famous Nosy Be, Tsarabanjina is the most beautiful island in the Mitsio archipelago, with its heavenly creeks and white sand beaches. Preserved from natural cataclysmic events, the lodge offers 25 bungalows nestled in the heart of nature, beneath the casuarina trees, beside two fine sand beaches. Measuring approximately 45 m², each bungalow, named after a plant or a fish, is unique. Designed in a simple, chic tropical style, one cannot fail to appreciate the airy mosquito net above the rosewood bed, the hammock hung from the coconut trees, and the small terrace facing the ocean. Sporting activities are original and include, alongside the water sports demanded by the beauty of the coral reefs, aqua aerobics, pétanque and exotic tennis!
