The best hotels Route Du Sud

Small but suitable rooms with private health (hot water). Bakery on site, welcome for morning departures to Andringitra. They rent bicycles and cars.

Building a little labyrinth. Nice and sunny terrace. Prefer the new building, even if the rooms in the former are cheaper: The hotel is surrounded by a garden with the disco (very noisy) which drains the whole Antsirabe every day except on Mondays! Not the great charm, but the prices are soft. Also cyber café at 20 Ar/min.

If you want a beautiful environment and don't care about being in town, here is a good choice to take into account.

At the gates of Isalo, a charming hotel in a superb oasis of greenery (40 ha). A top of the range address. Swimming pool, tennis, horseback riding, airfield, via ferrata, high quality spa... The complex even boasts an orchard and an organic vegetable garden. The rooms (in stone bungalows, an originality copied unceasingly since the opening of the hotel) are vast, and of an exquisite taste. Very good restaurant. Aperitif in the middle of the rocks for the sunset, followed by an exquisite meal with 100% fresh products... In short, the great class!

Located in front of the sea on a wooded area, with direct access to the beach, the six charming bungalows made of brick, wood and thatched roof are simple, but carefully furnished. At the Antemoro Hotel, one will find that the essentials have been put in place to feel comfortable (bed, mosquito net, private sanitary facilities with hot water as well as a small terrace). The site is very pleasant and the welcome is warm. The house is also a table d'hôtes. To discover as a good base to survey this beautiful region around Manakara.

The Arotel reopened in April 2019 and joins the club of high-end hotels in the Vakinakaratra region, after a long renovation. The old building retains its structure, with spaces and rooms completely redesigned and updated (new decor, sleek and contemporary design). The result is a modern and comfortable hotel with 45 well-equipped rooms, a gym, a spa, a tennis court and a beautiful pool. The bar-lounge and the restaurant "Les Agapes" are also back in operation.

One of the city's newest additions, Plumeria opened its doors in 2016. Its 27 rooms, including one for people with reduced mobility, will seduce lovers of modernity and elegance: combining light colours and wooded elements, the rooms are spacious, comfortable, carefully arranged and equipped (flat screen, satellite channels, trunk and air conditioning). They all have a balcony, the suites for two to four people have a kitchenette. A wellness area with sauna, heated bath and massage rooms on the ground floor invites you to relax. The hotel also has a nice craft shop in the lobby. Restaurant/bar, room service and reception open 24 hours a day. A dynamic, welcoming and professional team. It should be noted that Le Plumeria organised and hosted the Cheese Fair on 30 March 2019, for the second consecutive year. An event that brings together and promotes local producers, with tastings and workshops. An opportunity to discover the products of the region.

Victor has combined stone and brick with finely worked rosewood to create bungalows in the Zafmaniry style. However, the whole thing is a little dark, prefer the upstairs rooms, more classic, but more spacious and a little brighter. A group of traditional music brightens up the meals, often very animated by the presence of groups in high season. The hotel also organizes one-day hikes (4 hours round trip), two or three, in the Zafimaniry country, with accommodation with local residents or camping.

The Betsileo Country Lodge is now managed by Adafi, a former Malagasy guide who is as dedicated as he is professional. The view from this charming hotel is breathtaking, we never tire of the colors and lights that transform the landscape throughout the day. Friendly, warm and welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are cozy and comfortable. Many activities are organized on request, making this hotel an ideal base for discovering and surveying the region. We easily stay 2 or 3 nights!

In a most majestic setting, with the Isalo massif in the background. We have the choice between small and simple paillotes, but romantic, and well decorated bungalows, which are very correct for the price. Private toilets in all rooms, small solar light in case of breakdown. The restaurant is pleasant and the food is good, with fresh homemade pasta at attractive prices, cooked on charcoal. At the request of the customers, "grill party" followed by a "dust ball" in the open air. We like it!

Beautiful house built according to the regional architecture, of wood, bricks and stones, away from the city, in edge of rice field. The rooms are spacious, sunny, neat, sober and colorful.

Room 15, the largest, offers a superb view on the rice field. Excellent option for those who want to stay in the quiet and in contact with nature. You can also eat very well, the house offers lunch and dinner upon reservation. The hotel can also organize hiking or mountain biking tours and take care of your train reservations.

Jean-Louis Charpentier (a Franc-Comtois) knows the region as his pocket. He opened a small hotel with 6 rooms with a very good restaurant and a well stocked bar. And this is undoubtedly the best source of information across the region. You can see with him to rent a 4 x 4 to Fort-Dauphin if needed. Congratulations. 

Marc and Brigitte are two welcoming hosts, and they offer a visit to the region with respect for local cultures and local populations. A novelty, an intimate and family character, for lovers of real meetings. They managed the Grand Hotel in Ambositra, and we can also.

there is information.
