Overview

Vanila Hotel & Spa is a charming four-star beachfront hotel on the west coast of Nosy Be, overlooking the small island of Nosy Sakatia. Set amongst lush tropical gardens with swaying palms and traditional Malagasy architecture, it has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Renovated in 2022, the hotel combines modern comforts with plenty of local character. Its peaceful setting and lovely sea views make it a good choice for couples and families looking to unwind.

The hotel has two infinity swimming pools overlooking the ocean, a sandy beach with sun loungers, and an excellent spa offering massages, a hammam, hydrotherapy and jacuzzi. There’s also a fitness centre, a restaurant serving buffet meals and the Infinity Lounge Bar, perfect for a sunset cocktail. Families are well catered for with a children’s club and playground.

There are two restaurants, a casual grill restaurant and one where the resident French chef offers a mix of fine French and Malagasy cuisine. You will usually have dinner accompanied by some local singing.

The hotel can arrange excursions to nearby islands such as Nosy Sakatia, Nosy Komba and Nosy Tanikely, as well as scuba diving, snorkelling and  sightseeing trips; even a visit to the local rum distillery for the adventurous.
