Masoala Forest Lodge

Located on Madagascar's north-east coast, Masoala Forest Lodge is a true hideaway. Only accessible by boat, this rustic treehouse lodge allows guests to explore the surrounding rainforest and ocean, and feel at one with nature.

Highlights

Relax in one of the sea deck's hammocks, and admire the sun setting across the Indian Ocean
Stay in one of seven stilted treehouses, with thatched roofs and traditional Betsimisaraka tribal design
Enjoy wholesome three-course dinners made with locally-grown produce and the freshest seafood
The perfect base from which to venture into the rainforest, to spot a wide variety of weird and wonderful wildlife

The Masoala Peninsula holds Madagascar’s largest remaining tract of lowland rainforest and is a haven of biodiversity and endemism. Accessible only by boat, our Masoala Forest Lodge is a perfect castaway retreat lovingly built over two decades by modern day adventurers Pierre and Maria Bester. Its seven tented rooms are raised into the tree canopy on timber decks and peep through the lush greenery directly onto the golden beach. The gentle wash of the ocean on the sheltered beach lulls you to sleep at night, and one day blends into the next here as you reconnect with nature and marvel at the evolutionary miracle that is Madagascar while forgetting that you ever wore shoes. Reaching the Masoala Peninsula you’ll be hard pressed to see the camp from the sea so hidden is it in the coastal forest. Just the way we like it.
