Overview
About Princesse Bora Lodge & Spa
Princesse Bora Lodge & Spa sits beside the beach on Île Sainte-Marie, off Madagascar's east coast. Its villas range from fan-cooled Charm Villas to air-conditioned family villas and Executive Beach Villas with private gardens leading to the sea. A shared pool, library, restaurants and bars give you places to spend the day between outings. Breakfast, dinner and airport transfers are included, along with bicycles, kayaks and snorkelling equipment. Diving, fishing and guided quad tours cost extra. Families have a mezzanine sleeping area in the Luxury Villa, while the airport is a two-minute car transfer away.
“A useful choice for families who want beach time with activities close at hand: family villas have mezzanine beds, breakfast and dinner are included, and the airport transfer takes two minutes.”
