Luxury Holidays to Madagascar

As the fourth largest island in the world, Madagascar basks in the tropical sunshine of the Indian Ocean, 278 miles off the south coast of Africa. Often referred to as the “eighth continent”, its extraordinary biodiversity is one of the island’s main attractions - a compelling reason to consider a luxury holiday to Madagascar.

The Best of Madagascar

Whether you want to explore the wildlife, adventure through the wondrous landscapes, or delve into the island’s culture, we provide Madagascar tours to suit every preference.

Follow an experienced guide into forests of every description, past fertile hills, palm-fringed beaches, sandstone canyons, and more. Alternatively, tour the 5,000 km of coastline, alternating wildlife with water activities.

For those who love adventure, we highly recommend the Red Island for safaris, national parks, and off-the-beaten-track regions. Learn about the lemur, Madagascar’s signature animal, and other wonderful creatures.

The sea is idyllic for diving and surfing and is brimming with marine life. Inland, you’ll find a haven for hiking, mountain biking, kitesurfing and rock climbing.

Away from the action, a smorgasbord of Malagasy cultures will introduce you to a world of distinct traditions and local life. From ancient customs to delicious food, there’s plenty to learn about.
