Relais de Mantadia makes a delightful, tranquil base for your stay in Andasibe-Mantadia National Park.

The rooms are set on a hillside surrounded by rainforest, and the décor is light and warm – a blend of Nordic simplicity with a touch of Bali.

All rooms come with tea- and coffee-making facilities, a safety box, a private balcony with chairs and a table, and a mini fridge. There is also Wi-Fi in every room.

After a hike in the National Park, unwind in the hotel's lovely spa, where professional therapists offer soothing massages. You can also take a refreshing dip in the inviting pool and enjoy the peace and quiet on the comfortable sun loungers.

The restaurant, also surrounded by rainforest, serves a fine mix of local and French-inspired dishes. Before dinner, enjoy a drink in the cosy lounge area, where games are available. If you’d like, round off the evening with an espresso and a crème brûlée – naturally made with Madagascar vanilla.
