We stayed here for 1 night on our way to another island. It is situated on its own beach about 15 minutes from the airport in a beautiful and quiet location. The staff were very nice and attentive, the food good, the room confortable and quiet and the gardens well maintained. Please note that the lodge's website doesnt do it any justice. It was much nicer than we expected. Overall it was good value for the price and we would return.

This property is amazing. The hotel, the restaurant, the beach, the pool and the rooms. There is not much around at all and the road is being resurfaced. It is close to the airport but that’s not an issue but it is a hotel to stay in and not really explore from. We went diving and got picked up from the hotel beach and likewise got a boat to take us to some Islands and we had an amazing stay and would go back but it is on the side of the Island with a lot less built up items so no restaurants to walk to shops etc etc

Manga Soa Lodge is an absolute paradise on earth! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beauty and eco-friendliness of this magical place. 🌿✨ The lodge is not only breathtakingly romantic but also managed to perfection by Oceana and Roman, who are such gracious and attentive hosts. The staff, including Jerome and Ella, were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help, while our airport shuttle driver made sure our journey to the lodge was seamless. Oceana and Roman went above and beyond in coordinating excellent tours for us—just be sure to bring Euros in cash for these adventures! The food at the resort was a culinary masterpiece, thanks to the incredible chef. Every meal was a delight and added to the unforgettable experience. If you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, and an eco-friendly getaway, Manga Soa Lodge is your destination. Truly an unforgettable stay in paradise!

A few days in paradise

I stayed for three days in March 2023 at Manga Soa Lodge. Like most hotels in Nosy Be the road leading to the hotel is not the best. But once you arrive you instantly feel that your are in paradise. I had my own lodge that the personnel kept very clean and tidy. The restaurant served excellent meals, needless to say the seafood is incredible. The staff will help you with arranging trips to other parts of the island. I had a great time in the Lokobe National Park. I hope to visit this amazing place again.

Struttura immersa nella natura, lontano dal caos

Resort immerso in una natura lussureggiante, lontano dal caos dei villaggi turistici e dalle spiagge più affollate. Il personale e’ attento ad ogni esigenza del cliente; i 6 lodge sono confortevoli e quelli con vista mare godono di un panorama unico. La colazione e la cena varie e di gusto. La spiaggia in bella posizione, ma purtroppo a causa della bassa marea non e’ possibile fare il bagno se non nel pomeriggio....... e l’acqua non e’ trasparente. Per raggiungere i luoghi di interesse l’unico modo e’ la macchina, che peraltro la struttura mette a disposizione, ovviamente pagando. La sera, stanchi delle escursioni era comunque un piacere rifugiarsi e godere della pace e del silenzio di questo resort.

Un petit coin de paradis

Même le chemin de terre quelque peu chaotique pour arriver à l’hotell est très vite oublié grace a l’accueil et la gentillesse de son personnel en particulier Dîna et Stevio. Un cadre traditionnel en bois de palissandre pour des lodges cachées derrière une forêt exotique méticuleusement entretenue. Ce lieu respecte les traditions tout en y ajoutant un grand confort . Tout est fait pour rendre votre séjour inoubliable et la cuisine est d’une qualité digne d’un grand restaurant. un «  must » pour un séjour loin de tout. Faisant face à l’ocean et les pieds dans la piscine n’oubliez pas de déguster un cocktail concocté par Stevio. Bravo Jean pour cet hôtel et pour votre gentillesse Merci à tous !

Away from it all

It is off the beaten track surrounded by beautiful gardens and highly perfumed flowers, a small hotel, it is secluded and very private but will all the requirements you need. Food is excellent, all kinds of facilities are available you only have to ask. It has a secluded private beach, a small infinity pool overlooking the sea. Scuba diving is amazing and local tours are amazing.

Manga Soa Lodge, NosyBe

Manga Soa Lodge was a good getaway and probably quite competitive in comparison to the other hotels/resorts at NosyBe. This is surely an eco lodge and the gardens are in a great condition and is looking great. The resort is very secluded - very good. The attention to detail, level of consistency in service and English communication could be an area for development for this resort. Also, all exclusive resorts/lodges we have ever stayed at had the airport transfers included. However, Manga Soa charged us approximately 20 euros for this. I feel this should be complimentary especially as they are so close to the airport. We also booked a day excursion and asked to visit Nosy Iranja, but then ended up visiting Nosy Komba and did an island tour etc. Having said all this, I celebrated my birthday there and they made an effort to made this special for me. I would recommend this lodge, but it is rather pricy.
