Back to accommodation guide  



 

The hotel

Amarina Hotel is located off the northwest coast of Madagascar are a number of beautiful islands. The largest of these islands is Nosy Be, the center of tourism in Madagascar. Visitors are sure to find something to love, whether it is relaxing on the beaches, snorkeling among the coral reefs, or visiting the lemur reserve.

Situated on the northwest coast of Nosy Be is the Amarina Hotel, a small, 4-star resort that faces the lagoon of Ambohidahy. The resort was designed to preserve the natural beauty of the island, and guests are sure to enjoy the lush island atmosphere along with the fine dining and stylish furnishings.

The Amarina, which has its own dive and water sports center, is only steps from the beach. You can snorkel, dive, grab a kayak, and then try kite sailing. If fishing is more your style, you can even take a trip out in the fully staffed fishing boat and try your luck. You might be able to land a tuna, swordfish, or Marlin.

The Amarina Hotel offers some of the finest dining on the entire island, and perhaps in all of Madagascar. At the Canelle and Paprika restaurant, you can sample both local and international gourmet dishes as you watch the sunset and reflect on the activities of the day. 

After dinner, you might want to head to the Toaka Mamy, a bar located close to the swimming pool and with a great view of the Ambohidahy Lagoon. Afterwards, you could take a moonlit stroll along the beach and listen as the waves lap gently at the shore.

One of the most appealing aspects of the Amarina is the feeling of privacy it affords its guests. Among the tropical gardens and spectacular beach, one is sure to find a secluded retreat in which they can relax and seemingly have the entire world to themselves.
