Eden Lodge

With white crystalline sand, turquoise waters and ancient baobab trees, Eden Lodge located on Baobab beach is a truly unique experience. The hotel combines luxury with the natural surroundings of Madagascar and is the only entirely solar-powered hotel in Madagascar. The hotel is located approximately half an hour from the island of Nosy Be, and is only accessible by boat.

Eden Lodge is located on 8 hectares of beach front land, with eight well-appointed beach apartments, all made with native materials and traditionally constructed, combining European comfort with Malagasy style. Spectacular bathrooms open onto private terraces, providing the perfect setting for a massage (with tables provided for treatments) surrounded by a beautifully manicured garden. The main room opens onto a second terrace facing the ocean with cosy lounge furniture to relax and unwind in.

The bungalow setting allows guests to view all the different species of wildlife, such as several species of peaceful lemurs and vibrant parrots, frequently lounging in the fruit trees planted around the lodge, steps away from the comfort of your bungalow. Just a few steps further to the waters edge, you can watch the dolphins migrating through the waters just off Baobab Beach.

When to go

Any time of year is fine for a visit except from January to March, when heavy rainfall in many areas can make some roads all but impassable, and when there’s a high risk of cyclones in the east and northeast. In general, the best time to travel in most areas is April and October/November. The coolest time to travel anywhere is during the dry season (May to October).

Average maximum temperatures vary from about 30°C in coastal areas (higher in summer) to around 25°C on the hauts plateaux. In Antananarivo and other highland areas, temperatures during winter can drop to 10°C and even lower during the night.
