Hotel details
Voaara is a striking example of barefoot luxury in Madagascar, set on the idyllic island of Sainte-Marie (also known locally as Nosy Boraha) off the northeast coast of the country. Opened in September 2024, this exclusive beachfront resort blends elegant comfort with the island’s raw natural beauty, offering a serene escape far from typical tourist crowds.
The resort’s design reflects a thoughtful fusion of African soul and wabi-sabi aesthetics, where natural materials and local craftsmanship create a relaxed but refined atmosphere. Guests can stay in a selection of tropical-style bungalows and a luxurious three-bedroom villa, all positioned along 1.5 kilometers of pristine white sand beach.
Voaara is more than just a place to stay — it’s a community-focused destination. A significant portion of profits and service fees supports local schools, clinics, and conservation initiatives, while most staff are drawn from surrounding communities, strengthening cultural ties and economic impact.
Cuisine at the resort reflects both local and global influences, with restaurants offering Mediterranean and Asian-inspired dishes alongside fresh seafood and farm-to-table produce. Guests can enjoy a range of activities, from snorkeling and deep-sea fishing to stargazing and exploring the vibrant marine life of the Indian Ocean.
In essence, Voaara is a luxury retreat immersed in nature, combining barefoot elegance, cultural authenticity, and responsible tourism to create a unique destination in Madagascar’s emerging travel landscape.
