Why it's unique

A tropical-jungle-meets-desert island nation known for its endemic species found nowhere else on earth, Madagascar was made for the nature enthusiast.

Madagascar—often called the “Red Island” or the “8th Continent”—is also the land of lemurs. Encounter the forest acrobats during a trek through lush jungle trails, or dive and snorkel in the surrounding cerulean waters for a chance of a whale shark sighting. Back at the lodge, unwind in your open-air bungalow, savor fresh island cuisine, and soak in the untouched beauty of this wild paradise, where nature takes center stage.
