Overview
About Isalo Rock Lodge
Sandstone formations frame Isalo Rock Lodge, a 60-room hotel overlooking Isalo National Park in south-western Madagascar. Eco, Standard and Superior rooms each have a balcony, bath and shower, with electricity hours varying by category. Continental breakfast is included in the lowest-priced standard plan. Between outings, there is an outdoor pool, a restaurant serving Malagasy and European food, a spa and a gym. Family rooms and interconnecting Standard rooms provide options for travelling together. The rocky outlook and pool make this a comfortable base for travellers exploring the Isalo landscape.
“For travellers exploring Isalo, the sandstone setting and outdoor pool are the draw; Superior rooms add 24-hour electricity and in-room Wi-Fi.”
