Voaara Madagascar in Île Sainte-Marie, Madagascar

When I stopped traffic, I just found out of the airstrikes from Madagascar’s L El St. Mary, Madagascar. There was a sharp route to reach the boat with the coast. Nevertheless, I was hoping that a glimpse of local life would be found before hunning on the remote north coast of the island – but could not prepare me for a spectacle on the streets of Ambobodifotra. After the Galin -shaped floats, dozens of eyes were seen waving the skull and cross -bone flags passing through our jeep. Le Festival Des Peritates St. Mary’s Sushi Blocking is an annual celebration of the past and we went straight to the hearts of festivals.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, St. Marie was a popular base for pirates that robbed the Indian Ocean, my driver explained when we crossed the cemetery and said that Captain Kid was buried. But since the inauguration of Vawara’s 2024, the island has quietly creating a new identity as a new identity for passengers seeking the next Seaches or Mauritius. When the road turned to the north, we left the bars and restaurants and passed through the sleeping villages. A tall part of the empty, palm and yelling-elliptical refrigerated Coast eventually submitted us to the indicator, “The last stop before paradise.”

The founder and owner of Varawara, Philip Kigeligine, welcomed me with a fresh coconut coconut and instructed me to kick his shoes. “It’s barefoot luxury,” he said with a blink.

After that, Kigeligan guided me to a sandy path from the beach to his room on the footsteps of the bungalow. The sun was just starting to decide, and it encouraged me to sink into the sea. Swimming in hot, calm waters, I looked back that a lonely fisherman was walking along the beach with his day catch.

After rinse in the outdoor shower, I brought the brightness of white lights and the sand as well as the soft bat of home music to Franco, Vara. Named by resident Burman, Franco mixed his signature for me, made of fresh pineapple juice, coconut milk and local rim. Dinner was a private, a sand in the fingers that led to the stars, with Soche, Gazapachu with Aberco Ham, fried rice, and Mojo Verdy sauce with a sauce.

The resort has a beautiful curve of beads white sand, but you can continue in any direction for more than an hour along the jungle beaches. I comforted my morning rituals in Vawara: a walk at Dawn so that I could catch the first embarrassment of the sky, then the pedal board session while the water still had enough glasses to see the colorful coral, fish and occasional turtles.

Kejlogen, a cocktail of the Kiwi Collection (an online luxury hotel booking platform), began to touch his favorite 2,000 hotels during his career to create serious experiences of Vara. “That’s not for all,” he said.

But that was definitely for me. It likes to live in Madagascar.

Room

The term “barefoot luxury” is thrown a lot, but Vawara surpassed it behind his true essence. The final Robinson Croso-Aisikaaf, here is only seven bungalows and a three-bedroom villa, which is located a few steps from the beach a few steps away. It also has a private pool. Natural materials, such as concrete floors, roofing roofs, and Derfod Wood Beams obtained from the nearest coast, completely meet the tropical layout. Inner people include locally manufactured custom wood furniture and artistic Rafia lights. All houses have sun beds on the beach, and you can order a room service so you can enjoy breakfast on your yard or beach.

As far as facilities are concerned, you can expect Marshall Bluetooth speaker, Nespresso coffee machines, Midgaskin photographer Pierreotman’s large prints, and Dysen Supernick Hair dryer (though I prefer to dry my locks). And if you like stylish beach bags and hats that are in every bungalow, you can buy one from a well -made gift shop. The bathrooms are open for rain shower and double granite basin elements, and some units have also soaked the shade of lush plants.

If you are traveling with children, choose one of two bedroom bungalows or villas, which provides extra room. However, whatever option you choose to live, you will be shaking in the air with the sound of palm fruits and sleeping softly in the beach wrapped in the beach.

Food and drink

Despite such an intimate stay, when it comes to food, Vawara offers a significant amount of selection. Spanish chef Elixislandry Srin, the mastermind of the Food and Beverage Program at the hotel, and Malagas Chef Jain Noteia Vincent has executed his menu in a bad way. Fresh, delicious dishes are the same kind of food you want to eat on the beach.

Choose the rising restaurant, the roof roof, the lei plage through the seron, or the fingers in the sand. The menu of the day fuses the Mediterranean and Asian flavors, highlighting the components of the Malagis (think XO is presented with sauce). Reservations are just a handful of tables on the beach near Lee Girl Asadu Where fresh seafood is cooked on coconut straw and is offered with fresh sides from the garden. Don’t leave the lobster.

As the sun begins to rise, the guests gather in the francs. In addition to the main food locations, the hotel has also hosted a sushi dinner in the bird’s nest, and you can order a wooden oven -powered pizza offered in the outdoor cinema. But, if you do not feel like going out, you can eat a meal from your bungalow, or staff can arrange for a sea front food around the fire pit.

Activities and facilities

Don’t be fooled by Vawara’s fly and flop image. Yes, someone can easily spend a day reading a book under the shadow of a palm tree here, but resort encourages guests to get out and discover.

Lean, residential marine biologists and free divers, you can go to snorkeling, deep maritime fishing, spare phishing, and even the whales visitors from June to September. One day during my journey, I joined the spare fish in the lane, and we grabbed a mass macriel, which was later converted into a Sushma lunch. And if you want to learn how to hang ten, Proserforf will teach you the basics of surfing or foil. If you are more experienced, it can take you to a “secret” break, which is a 45 -minute boat ride.

For those who prefer to live on the ground, Varawara has a tour of the Kong Island near Quad Motorcycle Tour, Hicks, and Lamar Spotting Day. But it does not matter how you choose to spend your time, the days here often end with massage in the Ocean Front Spa cabins or with involvement in any place of food.

Sold

At the very end of the beach, two Indonesian -affected, open fronts have temporarily served the cabin as a treatment room. Instead of a wide menu, guests make an easy choice between Swedish or comfortable massage, which includes Inkukanic oil made on St. Mary. During my treatment, massage therapists only adorned the right amount of pressure that my muscles needed. Plans are underway to build a widely spa complex, which are complete with a lap pond, steam room, gold and gym. Finally, there will be even a “spa safari”, which will provide mobile treatment around the property.

Family friendly offerings

At first glance, someone thinks that Varawara is a romantic, just retreat for adults. But children are welcome, and the offer is extraordinarily family friendly. Family outdoor cinema can ban Kaik and pedal board out, sand ball matches on sand as well as pizza and movie nights. Sea water is calm and safe for swimming and snorkel. There are plans to complete the children’s club on the site by 2025.

Lex and stability

Although the accommodation in Varawara is on the ground level, they do not have accessible features and they are not in accordance with the ADA. In addition, guests with moving issues can find soft, sandy paths that connect difficult property to navigate.

As far as sustainability is concerned, Kigeligan carefully considered the community and environmental effects when building Vawara. This property operates on solar energy and was mainly built using local materials, such as Draft Wood from nearby beaches. A small kitchen garden and nursery equipment provides ingredients for restaurants, and you often see the chef buying fish from local fishermen on the beach.

Location

It is easy to reach Madagascar. The capital, Antario, is connected to major cities like Paris, Dubai, Istanbul, and Johannesburg.

Else Saint is an hour’s flight from Meri Interto. You can fly a Madagascar airline or you can slip on a charter in Varawara, which runs three times a week. After arriving at St. Mary, you will need to ride a 90 -minute car along the coast or travel an hour -long boat to reach Vara. The best of the two worlds, I suggest that you get by car so that you can go to the local village life and then return by boat.

However, once you come to the property, you will not need a car. If you want to get out and find the rest of the island, Varawara’s staff can arrange a jeep and driver.
